The Feoffees and Thirteen of Tetbury
Firstly, I would like to congratulate His Majesty the King on his Coronation, we celebrated and marked this occasion by purchasing a new Union Jack Flag and ropes, which were flown from The Market House.
I cannot believe that we are already halfway through the year and we are all looking forward to being able to bring back our Annual Community BBQ on Friday 16th June at 6pm. This community event is held on the Millennium Green and free to our residents – please come along to meet old and new friends – all you need to do is bring a chair or picnic blanket and your own drinks – we look forward to welcoming you. Any donations on this evening will go towards Millennium Green projects.
I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome new Thirteen Member Mike Hewitt and we look forward to working with him in the future.
Looking forward to the summer, I was pleased to see that a group of residents have planned the resurrection of the Carnival Procession, which will conclude at the Recreation Ground for a traditional Show afternoon and Celebration of Tetbury – where in conjunction with Tetbury Town Council and with the theme of Health & Wellbeing, residents can see clubs, groups and organisations showcasing the work they do in Tetbury. There will also be a Car Boot Sale, Skate Competition and Show Competitions – craft, cooking & hobby in the Dolphins Hall. I would like to wish the organisers all the best for a successful Community Day.
