A Circuit by any other name…
As many will know, moves are afoot to merge the Berkshire Surrey Borders and the Hampshire Surrey Borders circuits. Much work still has to be done, there are processes to be followed and formal decisions to be made, but at the moment both circuits are enthusiastic that the merger happens in September 2025.
Assuming we merge, the merged circuit will operate under a new name; indeed it will be helpful to have a name for the merged circuit even at this stage. So we are inviting those in the two circuits to have a think and come up with suggestions for the name.
To give a bit of guidance, the Berkshire Surrey Borders circuit includes these churches: Bracknell, The Church @ The Pines (Bracknell), Crowthorne, High Cross (Camberley), Sandhurst & Yateley, Wokingham and Woosehill. The Hampshire Surrey Borders circuit includes these churches: Aldershot, Alton, Cove, Elvetham Heath, Farnham, Fleet, Frimley Green, Hale, Hartley Wintney, North Camp (Farnborough) and Rowledge.
Please send your suggestions to me.
