Cllr Gill Brooks, Mayor of Thornbury is happy to announce that A Fashion Show will be held in aid of The Meningitis Research Foundation.
Gill says, “I chose the Meningitis Research Foundation
as my charity as they are making great strides in overcoming Meningitis and septicaemia which can kill in hours. People who recover may be left with permanent disabilities or a range of after-effects that dramatically alter their lives, especially small children who have to cope with life after sometimes losing limbs and as a mother
and grandmother I can’t imagine how difficult that must be to live with.
“The Foundation funds research to prevent meningitis and septicaemia, and to improve survival rates and outcomes. They have made great advances in promoting the awareness of symptoms, better understanding of treatment, and above all,
the possibility of prevention through vaccination, all these are now very much in evidence and I think it is important to help the Foundation whose vision is a world free from meningitis and septicaemia.”
Local Thornbury shops supplying a range of ladies, gents and children’s wear are involved in what promises to be an enjoyable evening. If your business or organisation is interested in supporting this event in any way please don’t hesitate in contacting Cllr Gill Brooks on 01454 416637 or
by e-mail below.
Tickets for this event are now on sale in The Town Hall and Truly You Bridal Shop and are priced at £10.00 (to include a glass of wine). Please come to support local shops and a locally based charity.

There is an air of mystery surrounding the Company's Easter show, which will be staged at Thornbury's Armstrong Hall from . The youngsters, (all students of the Northavon School of Drama) are very excited to be rehearsing for a very popular Broadway musical, set in the 1950s, which they last performed 25 years ago next year! NYTC was recently nominated in the Rose Bowl Awards for its production of OUR HOUSE ~ the Madness Musical!, but although this accolade went elsewhere, the students were delighted to receive the 2011 President's Award for Outstanding Performance from the National Operatic and Dramatic Society.
