BRADLEY STOKE MATTERS

Doesn’t a bit of sunshine and spring colour make all of the difference? As I write this I am enjoying the sunshine and daffodils out of my window and looking forward to the beautiful bluebells making a reappearance in our local woodlands this month.

In our April/May edition we bring you news from Bradley Stoke Green Gym who have been working hard again in the Reserve for us all to enjoy.  We also have feedback from the Community Orchard Planting that took place earlier this year and news from the Frome Valley Growing Project. Winterbourne Medieval Barn has a whole host of activities planned, including Easter arts and crafts for the family. Bradley Stoke library has free activities to help keep little-ones occupied. St Michael’s Church, Stoke Gifford has shared their Easter services with us.  We also have news from local schools, dates of local theatrical productions, party events and evening entertainment (including a Country & Western night) at our local hotels.

Bradley Stoke Festival is 7th and 8th June and the Sole Sisters are ready to accept your entry into the popular 10K race again this year.

Bradley Stoke Town Council will be lighting the Beacon in the Jubilee field at 9.30pm on 8th May to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, residents are welcome to attend.

**READER COMPETITION** Good Times Live has several shows taking place at the Ridings in Chipping Sodbury in May (see page 15 for full listing). We have a pair of tickets to a show of your choice to give away – simply answer – Which artist appearing at the Good Times Live initially found fame in a popular soap in the 1990s?
