Nailsea School host Community Showcase

ALONG the perimeter of the construction work at Nailsea School is a line of Westcoast property posters saying ‘sponsored by…’.

But fear not Nailsea people as the High Street estate agent did not sponsor the £32 million new school nor is it paying for the demolition of the caretaker’s old cottage which is due to be knocked down within the next fortnight!

Westcoast is supporting the community showcase on Saturday, March 13.

More than 70 groups and organisations will be manning stalls at the annual Community Showcase hosted by the Mizzymead comprehensive from 10am to 2pm.

Self-help, charity, church and social groups as well as local business organisations will be setting out their wares.

Assistant head for specialised learning Trudy Jones said: “This is an opportunity for all community groups to get together and share what they can offer to our community, and has been very popular and well attended in the past.

“Exhibitors include private and charitable groups, children’s groups, support groups, church groups and the farmers market. 

“Some people will be exhibiting, some fundraising and some offering goods and services.

"“There will also be entertainment for children of all ages.”

A Westcoast spokesman said: “We are delighted to support this community showcase.

“As a local family-run business, we understand and recognise the need for a strong, diverse community that offers opportunities to teach, learn and enjoy whether you are young or old.”
