NEXT EVENT:
Walking our footpaths -with lunch en route
Sunday 26th February 2012 - meet at Town Hall at 10.30am
Following on our theme of being 'out and about', what better way than to walk the wonderful footpaths of Midsomer Norton with fellow members of the Society.
We'll be meeting outside the Town Hall at 10.30am and then proceeding through to St Chad's Well, onto Withies Lane, up Redfield Road and then over to Clapton and back via Riverside and Withies Lane.
We're currently investigating somewhere to have a pub lunch - watch this space for details.
There will be a health and safety briefing at the Town Hall at 10.30am. Please come prepared with stout footware, warm clothing/waterproof on the basis of the weather forecast. You will be asked if you have any medical conditions which preclude you from walking.
Otherwise, we look forward to a gentle paced walk to Clapton and back taking in some wonderful views of our town on the way and a chance for good conversation with like minded folk.
If you have any question, please contact us. In the meantime, we look forward to a good crowd on the 26th.
The programme for this year’s events has now been established and is as follows:
Mon. 26th March - What future our High Street?
Change to the advertised programme
This evening will now be devoted to
the future of the High Street and how the Society can help ensure it
continued vibrancy as the heart of our community. As well as a short
presentation giving a historical perspective, there will be a summary
discussion of issues you think need to be addressed ranging from litter
to the lamp posts, paving stone to parking and ultimately issues
concerning the streetscape.
