We are also planning to hold a small garden sale too, of home-grown plants and secondhand garden tools. There will be some green building stuff - hopefully an earth closet or two - as well as traditional materials like eco-friendly paints, and samples of reclaimed building materials like old bricks, flagstones and wood flooring, for ordering and later delivery.

At the last fair, Salvo 2001 in Warwickshire, the centrepiece of the show was a Victorian iron winter garden which sold for several thousand pounds. This year, Drew Pritchard of Pritchard Stained Glass is planning to build a 'stained glass chapel', as a major feature at Salvo 2003 on May 26th. The chapel will be made up of antique stained glass pieces including three 2.5 metre high arts and crafts panels saved from a demolished church in Glasgow.

'SALVO 2003' is the inspiration of Chiswick man Thornton Kay, who first set up SALVO in Bath over ten years ago.

Thornton is the son of Earl Kay, whose death was reported in the Richmond and Twickenham Times last September. He had a long lifetime of experience in the theatre, in London, nationally and internationally with the RSC and the Royal National Theatre. Thornton's mother, Elizabeth, for forty five years a resident of Chiswwick, is active in Chiswick Methodist Church as well as having a long association with the W.I, the W.R.V.S, U3A, taught Keep Fit for many years and is well known as a speaker to many local groups.

On May 26th the Kay family will be out in force - not only Thornton but his sister Frances, who both attended Belmont School in Chiswick, will be helping to run stalls. Both have happy memories of the funfairs and the children's playground in Dukes Meadows that used to be a favourite stopping off place after a visit to the old open air swimming pool. All of Thornton's six children will be present, together with his first grandson, and Elizabeth Kay will preside over a home-grown plant stall.

Mr. Watson will be bringing fireplaces, hardware, staddle stones, troughs and a wide miscellany of whatever he can lay his hands on the night before.

This year we hope to see him with urns and old garden seats that have been sat on by past Prime Ministers.

FRIENDS OF WAR MEMORIALS, LONDON - FOWM have been long term supporters of Salvo Theft Alerts during which time a number of war memorial sculptures and other artefacts have been stolen, some of which have now been recovered. Salvo has encouraged the trade to support FOWM's activities where it can. An example is Adrian Amos of LASSCo, who tracked down a roll of honour at Bermondsey market after a tip-off, bought it and donated it to Ian Davidson (founder of FOWM, now director of Friends of the Laurel). Rolls of honour commemorate the war dead, and their fate is often neglected when factories, offices and churches are demolished.
