This has to be formally confirmed by the Council but there is no longer any support for taking such a risk. More locally, November saw another successful book sale. Thanks to everyone who donated and/ or bought books and to the team who helped run the sale. This year’s sales will be in June and November.

The winning team were ‘Psst!’ who add their name to the shield displayed in the Library. As usual we held a raffle during the quiz. Many thanks to our local businesses who donated prizes: Aldi, Clubsport, Ethos, Handley Organics, Hay Wines, Isaacs Linens, Ledbury Hardware, Monkley’s Furniture, The Odd Shop, Raft, Shanti Shanti and Tesco. Looking ahead to a busy year, we have a number of author events. The first of these is with Lucy Dillon. She joins us on the evening of Tuesday 11th February. Tickets are available at the Library. We have a new venture on Saturday 21st March. We are ‘branching out’ and holding a Ceilidh with the Cotswold Ceilidh Band. Don’t worry if you don’t know the dances. The band have a good caller who will keep us ‘in step’. Book the date now and join us at the Royal Hall.
