Big Book Sale – the postscript
Our Big Book Sale which took place on 22nd and 26th August was a huge success and has raised a magnificent £614 for the Open to All project at St Cyr’s.

Missing – Old Hill Lane Post Box
What is it with Stinchcombe and post boxes? Less than 18 months since we successfully campaigned to have the one near St Cyr’s restored, the post box on Old Hill Lane, off Taits Hill Road, has been removed. After repeated reassurances that it would be replaced, Royal Mail have now changed their minds.
Rugby Club restart
September has arrived, and the rugby season with it!
Although things are very different, the club will be restarting more rugby activity from this weekend, particularly regarding the return of Mini & Youth rugby from Sunday 6th September.
The club has carefully planned this, with arrangements put in place to manage things in accordance with guidance from government and the Rugby Football Union.
Matches against other clubs are not yet allowed. So all Dursley groups will be training at home for now. To manage the numbers we have staggered arrival and departure times to prevent overcrowding.
We will, as always, manage the car parking carefully and do our best to avoid any problems on the roads. We will also prevent people using the Village Hall car park.
Training will also be continuing on weekday evenings for some groups, along with some bookings and events in the clubhouse. For the time being there will be no matches on a Saturday as this is not yet allowed.
Any queries, please direct these to Simon Bilous, Club Chairman.

Parish Council Vacancy
Another vacancy has arisen as Cllr Trudy Chinn has decided to stand down after three years on the Council.
She has made a very valuable contribution to the council and we are very grateful for her hard work. Fortunately, when there was a vacancy recently, a second person expressed interest in joining the PC, so hopefully, this vacancy can be filled quickly and easily!
