We are very proud custodians of The Market House in Tetbury, which is the focal point in our town centre and we have been fortunate to recently have a selection of images taken of both this building and our open spaces. These were taken by a local student, who we have supported financially for her studies and it is wonderful to see our support helping young people develop their skills, education and work opportunities. Many of you will have noticed that the clock was recently stopped for repairs and maintenance and by the time you read this, everything should be working again. I wanted to also take this opportunity to remind everyone that this building can be hired for use, along with applications for market spaces underneath the building. Please visit the Contact page on our website – www.thefeoffeesoftetbury.co.uk – and click the Rental Enquiry button.
We have also been pleased to plant a ‘Royal’ Oak tree from Highgrove, for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, the tree can be found behind the Royal Oak pub by the steps down to the Goods Shed Car Park
It was also pleasing to see such a successful Wacky Races Day on Bank Holiday Monday, well done to the Tetbury Lions Club who organised this free event for the community and to the students from Sir William Romney’s School who helped with the setting up and tidying away on the day. We were pleased to make the Chipping Car Park available for preparations ahead of the racing.
Finally, I am pleased to confirm that the Feoffees have also agreed to maintain their support of our local Foodbank, who receive a biannual grant of £600.
