One of the ways we marked the millennium, besides installing new children’s rides in the park and completing our section of the Great Gatshire Trail,* was by making a time capsule. Some suggested putting items of local significance, such as barley and wool, a copy of The Gatshire Gazette or even a bottle of Jumble’s, in it; others proposed things less obviously connected with the village in particular, such as CDs and magazines. In the end, Mrs Davison’s idea that we record a short documentary featuring everyone in the village, found unanimous approval. It was decided we would all talk a little about ourselves and then, to make the project more interesting, give our predictions of what we thought life would be like in a hundred years’ time. We asked Mr Wells’s sister, who worked for a firm that made DVDs, to help us. After some discussion, we resolved to record a new disc at the start of every decade. We would also copy any old ones that were losing their quality. Those appearing for the first time on the discs would be allowed to watch the old ones only after they had been recorded for the new one.
