WINCHESTER is a central city in British history. Located about 64 miles WSW of London, on the banks of the River Itchen, Winchester was the site of early permanent inhabitation. The chalk downs above the present city are believed to have been first occupied in the Iron Age, perhaps in the first century...
Friendships among diggers were quick to form. The community was mostly young, between the ages of 16 and 35, and abounded in good fellowship. Diggers made friends to go drinking with in one of Winchester's 72 pubs, to play soccer with, or to climb the chalk downs above Itchen and watch the sun set (or rise).

Romance was always available, although usually tenuous, but a handful of digger marriages, generally between male site supervisors and female diggers, have graced the dig's past...

And we can at least understand why Mother...
...good to see the Caravan Theatre doing something besides How to Make a Woman and children's plays. Both Woman and their children's plays are good, but limiting. The Caravan has enough talent to be doing other things. Their Caucasian Chalk Circle of two years ago is an example of the strong work they are capable of. The Exception and the Rule is not up to Chalk Circle's mark, but it is a step in the right direction...
