CLOSURE: The town council may have to close the office in early November, as the final parts of the office extension are completed.

A notice will be placed on all town council notice boards to advise you when this will happen and also on the office itself.

So please be patient and remember that this is for the benefit of the town.

The office staff have managed to work through the upheaval of the office while the work is being carried out, and at last week's policy and resources meeting, they were thanked for this.

CHRISTMAS tree lights: This year, the switching on of the lights will be held on Friday, November 26, outside the offices in Franklin Avenue.

Like last year, it is proposed to use the Ambrose Allen Centre.

If any local charities and organisations would like a table at this event, then contact Nicki Barry on 0118 9813360 for a form.

Also, do you know of a star or celebrity that will do the honours? If so, contact Nicki Barry on the above number.

CHRISTMAS fayre: Burnham Copse PTA Christmas fayre is on Saturday, November 27.

On October 30, there is a roller disco for all the family; a trip to Somerset for an illuminated carnival on November 15; a jazz night on November 20; and finally, a Christmas shopping trip to London on December 4.
