Of the 142 Men who attended this free testing service last year 24 needed to be referred to their GPs for further examination, which demonstrates just how early diagnosis can be crucial to successful treatment.

Forthcoming Bluey Trips
Trinity Singers Concert 7th June
Trinity Singers’ next concert will be ‘Lazing on a Sunday afternoon‘ and will contain a variety of gentle music from composers old and new. It will take you on a journey from sacred music, through the countryside, and you’ll hear of love and loss, and revel in the wonders of warm, starry summer nights.
The programme includes the theme music from the Vicar of Dibley, an arrangement of Scarborough Fair, and music by Lauridson, Byrd and Tallis among others.
This concert will be rehearsed, and conducted, by their Guest Conductor Alison Blundell.
Join them on Sunday June 7th, 2026 at St. Mary’s Church, Yatton at 3:30 pm.
This will be a shorter programme of about an hour, followed by tea/coffee and cakes – just perfect for a (hopefully) sunny Sunday afternoon!
Tickets are available from their website www.trinitysingers.co.uk or from members of the choir.

Update from Tessa Munt, MP for Congresbury
Work on fields next to the Millennium Green, Congresbury
Some work is being done on the ‘mitigation land’ next to the Millennium Green related to the planning application for housing on land north of Mulberry Road Congresbury. This mitigation land consists of two large fields next to the Millennium Green.
The contractor has apparently been telling members of the public that this work is being done on behalf of YACWAG. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
YACWAG has nothing to do with this land. If you hear this rumour please put people right. Thank you.
