• THE Community Forum is sorry to announce that they have had to cancel the Barry Paull as Elvis event on Thursday, November 11 at the No 6 Bar, Kings Street, due to unforeseen circumstances.

• IT must be the clocks going back, but the committee has decided to postpone the evening Can’t Sing… Sing- a-long, as not too many people can make it. Fortunately, the line dancing with Pat Lea held on Monday evenings is really well attended, and as from Monday, November 8, it will run from 7pm-8.15pm. There is still plenty of room so come along and join in.
