Summer BBQ and annual awards on the garden behind Tytherington Village Hall, Itchington Rd, Tytherington, Wotton-under-Edge GL12 8QE  12:30 until 17:00. This is our opportunity to pay special thanks for the many people who contribute to make TRC a successful and supportive environment.

Don’t forget food is provided (with veggie options) but you will need to bring your own drinks – we will be providing squash etc for the kids.

If anyone has a portable music system suitable for the garden please bring it along.

Suicide is the biggest killer of people under the age of 35 and the biggest killer of men under the age of 50.If you are able to donate it would be much appreciated and you can do so via the link below. She is also looking for people to join her for a leg or two if you would like to. If you’re keen to get involved please reach out to Ashleigh (07432 562438).
