A return for Community<br />
Trust’s events Programme<br />
T<br />
he Midsomer Norton Community Trust’s<br />
events programme is set to finally return in<br />
full, 18 months after they were last held.<br />
“As with many other community groups it’s been a<br />
struggle to keep going with the impact of COVID.<br />
However, we have survived and our volunteers<br />
turned out in force recently to run our first<br />
concert at the Town Hall. All we need to do now is<br />
to get the message out there that we’re returning<br />
and I’m confident we can begin serving the local<br />
community again!”, said Alex Davis, Trust Manager<br />
at the Midsomer Norton Community Trust.<br />
The First Thursday Afternoon Social returns to<br />
Welton Rovers on the 2nd September from 2-5pm<br />
with live musical entertainment from Spirelane.<br />
Since its launch the monthly First Thursday has<br />
developed into a popular event in the social<br />
calendar. Local entertainers provide a blend of<br />
musical entertainment, laughter and even a bit of<br />
bingo with hot and cold refreshments available<br />
from the bar. The Social is the perfect chance to<br />
have a laugh, make new friends and dance or foot<br />
tap the afternoon away! Upcoming acts include<br />
Niteshift, Bennie Vee and Russ Matthews.<br />
Meanwhile, the Paradis Palm Court Trio series<br />
resumed in August. These classical concerts see<br />
Jacquelyn Bevan (piano), Lisa Betteridge violin &<br />
Linda Stocks (cello) play a lunch-hour concert,<br />
12.30-1.30pm on the first Friday of each month in<br />
the Assembly Room at Midsomer Norton Town<br />
Hall. Each concert is themed and comprises pieces<br />
of music in a wide range of styles. Delicious<br />
homemade cakes are on sale, along with tea &<br />
coffee. Entry is free, with a retiring collection<br />
towards the cost of running the series.<br />
Meanwhile the Trust are aiming to resume<br />
the Community Cinema screenings from<br />
October. The Trust are currently in discussions<br />
with their distributors about the film lineup<br />
for the Community Cinema with news<br />
and tickets expected to go on sale in early<br />
September. For more information on all of these<br />
events as they’re announced, head to www.<br />
