I REALLY felt I must write in support of our local Malvern 'youth'.

Last night, Halloween, our house was visited by almost a dozen groups or individual children all dressed up for Halloween.

All of them, without exception, were extremely polite and friendly. All of them 'thanked' me for the treats I offered them, which were not expensive and more importantly I did not feel at all intimidated or threatened by any of them.

In my opinion, Halloween is a harmless evening of fun and let's remember that fun is what being a child should be about!
