The Feoffees and Thirteen of Tetbury
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Feoffee and Thirteen members who worked so hard at the Community BBQ held on 16th June. It was lovely to see so many of our residents enjoying the summer sunshine and taking the opportunity to catch up with old friends and new.
You will have noticed that outside the Market House our beautiful hanging baskets are now on display, thanks to Tetbury Plumbing & Heating for putting these up for us and for those of you who use the main hall itself, you will notice that we have continued to improve the facilities with the purchase of a new set of tables. Hopefully these will be lighter and much easier to move around and put up when you are using the Market House for events.
As there is no Advertiser in August, please check out the September events below and pop them in the diary, particularly the Beating of the Bounds – this annual event is the traditional beating of the boundaries of Tetbury starting at 9.30am under Bath Bridge and finishing at The Market House for refreshments and the presentation of the Charity’s accounts. Please come along with good walking shoes, coats (weather dependant) and your family including dogs. If you have never done this before or are new to Tetbury, please come along and learn about the history of the town.
