Brookwood has achieved a notable milestone by reaching the final five in the World Cup of Stations 2026. The competition was won by Irlam, near Manchester. Organizers expressed gratitude to everyone who participated by voting.

In other local news, the Basingstoke Canal Society has launched a new electric trip boat at Town Wharf in Woking. This new vessel replaces the old diesel boat named Kitty, marking a step towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly canal trips.

Currently, only eight volunteers are responsible for looking after the garden and station in Brookwood. The community encourages more people to join, emphasizing that no gardening experience is necessary to help out.

Residents and visitors are also invited to contribute stories, photos, or notices to the village’s monthly newsletter. Submissions are reviewed by an editor before publication.

The village newsletter has been managed by a small team of contributors and guest editors and is delivered to homes by a dedicated volunteer. Since its inception in June 2014, there have been 141 issues published.

To submit content for the next issue, which is released at midday on the 20th of each month, email community@brookwood.org.uk or use the online form available on the Brookwood website.
