VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED - The Bishops Castle Carnival takes place on July 7 and planning for the event is now well under way. Like all events of this type much depends on the faithful band of volunteers who turn up on the day and insure that the event runs smoothly and everyone has a good time. “Every year we get a band of faithful volunteers who turn out rain or shine”, says Anthony Jones, who is responsible for organising the volunteer groups.“ To these people we owe a debt of gratitude for their loyalty and hard work. Nevertheless the event is of such a size that we could really use additional staff on the day.

DONATE BOOKS - Donations of good condition books, CDs and DVDs are needed for the third great book sale in Bishops Castle public hall on June 8 and 9. Previous sales have raised money for the town hall renovation fund, for which the majority of the funding has already been secured from the Heritage Lottery Fund. “The two sales we have held so far have been a great success and enjoyed by both local people and visitors,” said Evelyn Bowles, one of the organisers. “We may well make this an annual charity event and so far we have received some very welcome and good quality donations. Many people have told us they have items for us, which they have yet to deliver. We would like to thank them in advance but need to stress that the volume expected is such that the sooner we can have their donations the better, as we sort and categorise every single item. This makes viewing and buying at the sale very much easier.” Donations can be delivered Monday to Friday between 10am and 5pm at the shop 18 Market Square, Bishops Castle, or Thursday to Saturday, 9.30pm – 5.30pm at Decorative Antiques, Church St Bishops Castle. Collection may be arranged by calling Sue Wilmer on 01588 630200.
