As we write this on the first day of Spring, I think we are all ready for a change in season!
There is plenty to look forward to over the next couple of months. You can take part in the Brightwell’s Easter trail up from 28th March until 14th April – 6 trails around the locality this year, see our latest editions for more information. We also share details of the Good Times Yate Festival with headliners such as – Jools Holland, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Mcfly. There are also some great acts performing just over the bridge in Chepstow at the Drill Hall and a new fundraising day on BH Monday in May – The Pink Wig Gig. The Bradley Stoke Community Festival is back this year, taking place over the weekend of 8th-9th June.
Our April/May edition also brings you news from the Manager at the Willow Brook Centre, from the Three Brooks Conservation Group on Wassailing, local girl guiding news on Thinking Day, and Careers Week and World Book Day at BSCS (front cover photos). We have the usual update from our MP, along with news of a recent PM visit to Rolls Royce. Little Stoke Baptist Church is recognising its 70th anniversary this summer and is inviting the local community to join in the celebrations. We have a season update from Bradley Stoke Town FC and share news of one local family’s heartbreak and bid to raise awareness.
Don’t forget the clocks Spring forward on 30th March!
