It’s Congresbury Youth Partnership’s quiz at the Plough on Sunday (Sept 6th) and it would be great if we could see a few of our supporters who maybe are not quiz regulars. (For those who are new to the quiz – it’s 7.30 for an 8pm start, costs £1.00 per person, with an optional raffle in addition.) No winners – except in the raffle – just a light hearted fun evening out! You can come with a team, or come alone and we will help you join one on the night.




The middle section of Wrington Lane (between Wrington Mead and Cobthorn Way) will be closed to traffic on the 9th and 10th of September between 8.30am and 3.30pm. The diversion for all traffic from the Cobthorn Way area (around 200 homes) is up and down the single track stretch of Wrington Lane onto Wrington Road. NSC roads department said no plans for traffic management were in place.

Anyone wishing to join them, please advise in advance of the meeting. It might be only a tiny commitment to oversee the work, or could be something more “hands on”.
