Some tools will be provided, and a green waste skip will also be available for disposable of compostable green waste. Please do come and join if you can. We will also be holding an informal lunch in St Stephen’s Church – all welcome.

The Annual General Meeting of the Albert Square and St Stephen’s Association will take place on Tuesday 12^thJune 2018 starting at 7.30pm in St Stephen’s Church on St Stephen’s Terrace. The AGM is a great opportunity to find out what has been happening in our local area over the past year, meet your neighbours, and to get involved in ASSA over the coming year. At the meeting, a chairman and committee will be elected to run ASSA for the next year.

All local residents living on Albert Square, Aldebert Terrace, St Stephen’s Terrace and Wilkinson Street are very welcome and light refreshments will be served.

Thank you to everyone who took part in Saturday’s Trash and Treasure event. It was great to see so many stalls set out on the street, and business was brisk throughout the morning before the heavens opened at lunchtime.

The event will return next year!

At the recent ASSA committee meeting, it was suggested that we start a regular monthly pub meeting, where neighbours can get together informally over a drink and get to know each other a little better. We’ve agreed that we will meet on the first Tuesday of each month, starting next week on Tuesday 6th February, from 8.30pm in The Canton Arms. Please do come along if you are free.
