Looking like a fine day for the events tomorrow. Maybe a few early showers then bright/sunny and a max of 21c. It could get a bit chilly for the evening concert but will be dry.

Our kids (and us!) had fun in the library. But my wife overheard that the money obtained from selling books outside was stolen by some opportunist. Does anyone know any more about this? I'd be relieved to hear that the culprit was apprehended.

I can confirm that  someone decided to steal the takings at lunchtime which was over a hundred pounds they where arrested and charged very quickly, the person was not a local person by the way

Great Street Fayre efforts by all involved I thought, great music in the evening but I thought the comedian was a bit offensive, (talking about 'dogging??at a family event)

Still he did apologise later.

We left at around half nice having had a great time catching up with old friends x

Sounds like a new addition to the market square is called for, SOME STOCKS.

The sound quality was better than last time, both bands I saw were great, the atmosphere was fantastic, and I got to meet Mike CM, who is really quite the dude.

Did the street fayre really happen? or did I just imagine that I spent a very enjoyable day with my family in the centre of Westbury?
It is now Wednesday, and still no mention of our street fair has managed to hit the on-line press.
Do we exist???
If someone sneezes or f***s in any of the surrounding areas, it's headline news.
But here, there seems to be no public recognition to thank the efforts of all those that organised a very enjoyable day out locally.
To all those that helped to organise Sat's events 

(perhaps Westbury is associated with russell rofl)mods can censor this if they wish

[Yokel1]

Agreed, I thought it was brilliant.
