Tetbury news with Kevin Painter ONE of the nicest parts of writing the Tetbury Talk community section for this newspaper is when members of our community who write or even call with a simple story, as was the case when Sallie Dearnley contacted me. Sallie was out for her daily exercise when she chanced upon what could’ve been mistaken for an oasis, however it was a family who had made a table of scrumptious yummy treats. I think Sallie put it perfectly herself with her note to me that said: ‘During my walk today, I came across this table of goodies on a front drive in Tetbury. What an act of loving kindness.”
Three very talented artists from St Mary’s School who created lovely pictures to celebrate this year’s Christmas theme of the 12 days of Christmas came together to officially switch the town’s Christmas lights on at a secret location in Tetbury,
writes Kevin Painter. Councillor Gary O’Connor gave the traditional countdown for the children to press the button and was heralded with a joyous cry as lights all over the towns homes came to life. So at 6pm, the children pressed the magic button. The children were then given a Christmas box of chocolates, by the deputy mayor Peter Coleman.
