Hi,

The Stars are back in the play-off places after seeing off Sheffield at the Adrian on Monday, the Warehouse Taproom out at Setchey has finally reopened after its fire, and Tuesday Market Place is doing double duty this weekend — a film under the stars on Friday, soul music on Sunday. A proper mixed bag this week.

Have a good one.
