25th June - Melksham Carnival
For those without links above, take a look at the TransWIlts and Melksham Hub Cafe pages.

Some of these events coming up in our diary on the forum.  Times given are starting times.

Overnight notification that today's event at Trowbridge has been POSTPONED - no new date given yet that I'm aware of.

Edit (08:15, 21.2.2022) - postponement was announced at 7 p.m. last night with "We will let you know when we reschedule." in the extra text - so that confirms no new time/date as yet.  It does make sense to have delayed the litter pick until after the storm has passed -  indeed it's probably there will then be more clearing up to do.
