With the coming of summer, the town is starting to come alive and June saw its fair share of events. During the week of June 10th to the 18th the Parish Arts Week was held to raise money for work needed on St. James Church. A busy week with an art exhibition, dancing in the town centre by the England's Glory Ladies Morris Dancers, concerts by the Willing Spirit Gospel Choir, Dursley Primary Schools and Rednock Swing Band as well as a film night and entertainment from the City of Bristol Pipes & Drums.

On the evening of June 17th, ex Lister apprentices from all over the country and around the world gathered in the Lister Hall for a night of reminiscence. Organised by Les Talbot, a 1960s apprentice, the event was a great success and many acquaintances were remade after a long gap.

Elsewhere the housing development continues at the Crest-Nicholson/Bymacks site and more progress was made with preparatory work on the Littlecombe development.
