Remember When: Bomb scare disrupted Radio 1 Roadshow at Magnet Leisure Centre

1976: Holyport bandsman Sid Boyd got gold for his work with silver.

My Boyd had been with the Waltham St Lawrence Silver Band for over 50 years, and his colleagues presented him with a gold plate during a party organised by the band.

1991: A bomb scare spoiled the fun for hundreds of Maidenhead youngsters who had queued at the Magnet Leisure Centre since 6am for the BBC Radio 1 Roadshow.

About 1,500 youngsters had turned out to see DJs Gary Davies and Liz Kershaw alongside musicians Julian Cope and Dannii Minogue.

The building had to be evacuated following the hoax call during a natural break in transmission.

1996: A cold snap hit the town on Shrove Tuesday.

Katie and Robert Heath marked the occasion by building a snowman – and topping off their icy creation with a pancake.

1996: The Royal Borough pledged its support for the drive to get Maidenhead a heritage centre on land alongside Maidenhead Library, with the promise of a £150,000 grant.

Mayor Bryan Hedley spoke of the venture as the fulfilment of a dream when he gave the fundraising a public launch at Maidenhead Town Hall.

2001: Altwood School sixth-formers donated £530 to the NSPCC after raising money through a sell-out stage show before Christmas.

A group of performing arts students had put on a variety show which was open to the public and attracted a full house to the school hall.

2001: A trio of Maidenhead schoolgirls boosted the prospects of some feline friends by selling toys to raise money for a cat charity.

Grace Trotman, Hanna Skillern and Bianca Heath, from Courthouse Junior School, raised £20 for Claws when they cleared out their cupboards and sold items to fellow pupils.

2001: A dramatic lightning strike which smashed a 150-year-old sequoia tree in the grounds of St Mary’s Church in White Waltham sparked an idea to mark the millennium.

Resident Tony Hill feared the strike, in 1998, had killed the tree and started to grow a replacement from its seeds.

But the tree survived, and its offspring was planted in the centre of a circular oak bench at the boundary of the village cricket green.
