December issue 15 Bampton Lowdown The last newsletter One rare upside of Covid-19 is that it created this publication, which has grown from a simple newsheet of essential lockdown information into a varied mixture of stories, commentaries, profiles, reporting and much more, all of which are Bampton related. We've all very much enjoyed producing The Lowdown and we really hope that you've found it a valuable source of information and entertainment throughout these difficult months. It is certainly our intention to continue for as long as funding allows.
