90th Annual Summer Show

The Show will be opened by Mr Mike Ashton (Blood Bikes Courier) at the Community Centre on Saturday 11th August 2018 from 2.00pm to 4.15pm.  Entry to Show £1.  Refreshments available.

This latest update from United Utilities comes with some welcome good news.

The work United Utilities have been doing to conserve water supplies and abstract water from other sources combined with the help from customers in reducing their own usage as well as the recent rainfall and slightly cooler temperatures means they are now in a position to call off the hosepipe ban planned for this weekend.  This decision has been taken in the context of the improved position in water resources and not wanting to inconvenience customers for a moment longer than is necessary. However, the long range forecast from the Met Office is one of relatively dry weather into the autumn, so future restrictions are still a possibility if more rain doesn’t arrive and if we see a significant increase in demand. 

Art Exhibition

All are welcome to the 38th Annual Art Exhibition at St Mary's Hall, Bolton-le-Sands from 26th July to July 29th 10am-6pm daily (Sunday 10am-4pm).  Guest Local Artist Harry Mills.

First Tuesday Hub' in Holy Trinity

The next First Tuesday Hub will be held on Tuesday 7 August from 1.30 - 3.30pm in Church. The Hub provides a meeting place where people can come along to:

• Enjoy friendship and refreshments
• Receive specialist advice on a range of subjects
• Organise activities for themselves and others
• Contribute ideas for future meetings

The August Hub will be led by AgeUK Lancs with representatives from a number of other charities and local organisations.

A special attraction this time is 'Gilly' from BBC Radio Lancashire who will be broadcasting live from the Hub. He'll be looking to talk to lots of people and spread the news about the Hub.

Also, the local Police will be providing bike identification tags for free! This service is for adults and children.

Come along! Bring a neighbour or friend and enjoy a chat over tea and cake; take the chance to see what is on offer and let us know what the Hub can do for you!

Fond Farewell

Mrs Brocklebank and Mrs Midgley, long-serving staff members of our local Primary School will be retiring at the end of next week along with Mr Dixon, the Site Supervisor.  It will seem strange next term for all those who knew these members of staff as they will be really missed.  Thank you to you all for your long service to the school and to all the children whom you have seen come and go and have helped along the way.

St John's Hospice Presentation

A group of Year 6 girls from our local Primary School, and their families, raised funds for St John's Hospice during the Evening of Family Fun. The girls raised around £350 - a fabulous effort!
