being made. This would be available at

- On 8 October, there would be an
event entitled Bemer-10 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the

activities, to which all were welcome.

was now complete bar sealing and planting.
- Plans for the Queen Elizabeth
Gardens were available to be viewed at the City Council Offices and
