ART AT THE STIRRUP CUP
For some months now, Steve Cohen has been arranging monthly exhibitions of art by local painters at the Stirrup Cup. Here are a selection of images from the December showing - the works are all for sale at very reasonable prices.
They have now been replaced by a new exhibition by Gloucestershire painter Chris Bingle, who paints wonderful still lifes and views of the Cotswold countryside.
MUMMERS REPORT
Men in dresses, borderline libel of an entire village and the wider BBC, and far too much alcohol - yes, it's Bisley Mummers.
KILL YOUR SPEED, NOT A CHILD
Although we are fortunate to live in a rural area, with little traffic by comparison to many other places, we do have a problem with stupid, inconsiderate driving through our narrow streets and lanes. In the summer of 2019 a parked car was written off near the allotments on Bisley Road by someone clearly driving at a fearful speed, and there have been numerous other near misses.
With this in mind, a Community Speedwatch group has been formed. Training and equipment are to be provided by the police, and villagers will be able to monitor vehicle speed on roads through the village, and give information to the police for enforcement.
To learn more, or to join the group, please talk to Tom in the shop or parish councillor Martin Brown (01452 770878).
On a similar theme, Mammoth Film - who made Agatha Christie's The Pale Horse in Bisley over the summer, donated £6,000 to village funds and villagers can now have their say on how that cash is spent.
The options are i) new equipment for the playgrounds or ii) some form of traffic calming on the village's roads.
To have your say, vote in the George Stores, the Farm Shop or the Green Shop.
SUPPORT BISLEY PRESCHOOL PLAYGROUP WITH YOUR ONLINE SHOPPING
Bisley Preschool Playgroup is struggling financially - if you shop on Amazon there is an easy way for you to support it at no extra cost. Simply use smile.amazon.co.uk - the prices are exactly the same as at the main Amazon site, but a percentage of your spend is passed on to the charity of your choice. You will need to select 'Bisley Preschool Playgroup' the first time you use the service.
You can also shop online via easyfundraising - it's free to join, and if you start your browsing there any retailer you buy from will make a donation to the preschool once you've finishing shopping.
Fundraising plans will be announced soon - see Bisley News - but anyone who is able to offer any other support is asked to email the Preschool or call Sarah Salter (her telephone number is in the latest Bisley News).
