Happy New Year. I do hope that 2022 starts to see our lives resume some kind of normality and that we all get the opportunity to meet up with friends and relatives safely and more often this year.
Firstly, I am sad to report news of a further great loss to our town. As many of you know Syd Mosdell recently passed away and I wanted to pay tribute to this man who was an amazing servant to our Town and many organisations within it. Syd was an active member of our organisation, finally becoming Chair of the Feoffee before his retirement. Our thoughts and prayers are with Shirley and the whole family at this difficult time.
Whilst it seems a while ago, I would like to thank all members of the Feoffee and Thirteen for their work decorating The Market House and the wonderful Christmas Trees, kindly donated by the Lowsley-Williams family at Chavenage. In addition, thanks also go to Tetbury Plumbing & Heating and Tetbury Fire Service members for their assistance with erecting the lights and Creative Hairdressing & the Blue Zucchini – for the supply of hot drinks.
Whilst this is normally a quiet time of year, for those young people looking to the future and planning further education and apprenticeships, please remember that you may be eligible to apply for an education or training grant. If you think we may be able to help you or if you are a member of a group who could be helped with a grant, please visit our website - www.thefeoffeesoftetbury.co.uk – where you can also find out more about the work we do in our town. Finally, if you would like volunteer to help us, please get in touch or speak to one of our members.
