work party

SUNDAY 13TH APRIL 10AM - 1PM. WE NEED YOU!
FOR ONE DAY ONLY! BIG WORK PARTY PLANNED TO BOOST TERMINUS BRIDGE RESTORATION
Do you have any skills that could help us move closer to our goal of restoring the walls of Terminus Bridge at Paulton end of the Somersetshire Coal Canal?
We are looking for skilled and unskilled help to boost progress on this critical piece of restoration. We are really keen to complete the walls, but with only one (excellent) person working on it, it's proving difficult. Ideally we would have stonemasons, bricklayers and/or general builders helping out - for one day only! We also need unskilled help to support the bridge builders and to speed things up.
In return for 3 hours of your time on Sunday 13th April 2025 (10am-1pm) we invite you to join us for a drink afterwards at The Red Lion in Paulton. We will provide a drink and some food (plus a delicious slice of cake from local cake maker Fairy Cake House) for your efforts! If we can get a large group of people, we could smash this next stage, which will allow us to put the next stretch of the canal back into water.
Please consider coming to help, even if you think you might not have the right skills, we have plenty to do and it's all in the name of helping your local community. If any businesses think they might be able to help too, we'd love to hear from you!
Meeting Location: Paulton Dry Dock, next to Paulton Basin.

Museum reopening

Community Café Programme It has been with some reluctance that the Museum is forced to close the Community Café programme.
The Museum originally had a large grant to set up the Community Cafes (and as a spin-off the History Club). The money was originally made available just before Covid struck, but we were permitted to keep hold of it until we could resume operations when we re-opened.
Unfortunately, that funding ran out last September and we have been unable to secure any new money.At that time the Trustees decided to fund the project until the end of this coming March, but unless further grants were available, we would have to close the project and give Helen Vella, who manages the programme on a part-time salary basis, 3 months notice.Unfortunately, sufficient additional funds have not been forthcoming and the decision has been made to close the programme from the end of March.Over the past few years, the programme has been a great success, due in the main part to Helen Vella’s enthusiasm and management skills. The Trustees thank Helen for her valued contribution and wish her well for the future.

Emergency Information

A woman called 999 last Saturday at just before midnight…she said very little but a man’s voice could be heard in the background 🤔She asked for police, but the line dropped out before she was put through to us.We tried to call her back but these attempts failed and worried for her safety, we visited her home in Wisbech - where a woman with an injury to her eye opened the door 😞 We arrested one man on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and has been released on conditional bail while investigations continue.Did you know that pressing 55 after calling 999 alerts police operators that you need help but are in a situation where you can't talk? 👀 📱Pressing 55 lets the 999 operator know your call is genuine, and they will try to track your location. If you can't speak, listen carefully to the questions and instructions from our demand hub call agents so they can assess your call and arrange help. Find out more info on our website: https://orlo.uk/Silent-999-calls_7C4w
