LIGHT MY WAY: Throughout December the sparkling VW Christmas Dubs have been touring the town collecting for Bristol Children's Hospital. And on Saturday evening starting at Crown Glass Shopping Centre car park they set off on a grand cruz of Nailsea, Clevedon, Portishead and the surrounding areas with more than 120 Volkswagen's in aid of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal. People were urged to come along and give what they could in the collection buckets and a few more routes to go around Nailsea...SEE SLIDESHOW for dates and how to donate, thanks for photos everyone
ROLL UP: Nearly 100 food and drink stalls, live bands and fabulous stalls Saturday, December 3, was amazing at Nailsea town centre. Sadly a band singer went sick so Mulberry Junction was unable to play at Nailsea MicroPub but it didn't matter as the taproom was backed to the gills with North Somerset MP Liam Fox making a guest appearance! Former town councillor James Steel manned the Change Nailsea stall at Colliers Walk and it was refreshing to hear lively political debate though not quite on Speakers Corner level.. Unfortunately didn't see Nailsea Musicals promoting its next production the Little Mermaid despite walking up and down trice? We put on our Nailsea People Facebook page the lyrics of Rolling Stones 'this be the last time' but only time will tell,,,
Christmas in Nailsea 2022

A bridge not too far
foggy November morning
Lest we forget, Remembrance
11.11.11.
A Royal British Legion poppy appeal collection is Nailsea supermarkets was organised by Stephen Rowan.
He was supported by many local people doing shifts.
Nailsea in Bloom put the big poppies on the lampposts in the High Street and manned a stall at the October Nailsea Farmers' Market signing up those sponsoring the flower bed poppies and raising money for the Royal British Legion.
Nailsea Christ Church read out names of those who died at its evening service on Sunday, November 6.
Holy Trinity marked Remembrance Sunday, November 13, with a military parade from Church Lane to the War Memorial Cross for Roll Call.
And at Nailsea & Backwell Rugby Club gathering at 10.45am there was a service of Remembrance and a collection for the Royal British Legion poppy appeal.
Some rugby players were to the event in Bristol and Nailsea School joined others for a joint service of Remembrance.
North Somerset MP Liam Fox signed the condolence books at every church and council office in his constituency including the old at Nailsea Town Council offices at the Tithe Barn.
Earlier there had been fears that because both the Nailsea and Backwell RBL branches were having problems with membership that this would impact on the parades and services.
It all went ahead even is the Nailsea branch is no more.

Pink ladies at rugby club
Saturday, October 22
PINK PEOPLE : Fab theme and absolutely wonderful that more than £3,000 raised by the ladies who went to the annual event at Nailsea & Backwell Rugby Club. It was three pioneering women who started an annual fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness in our town back in 2008. Annabel Kew, Sue Morris and Rachel Sullivan launched Pink Ladies at a club dinner and apart from the Covid years it has been going every since with a different theme every year. Photos by Hannah Waghorn Roe, thank you very much
Nailsea 10th Apple Day
Saturday, October 22
WINDFALL WONDERS: Cider, cake and toffee apple-making was all part of the menu for the annual Nailsea Apple Day which for 2022 was on Saturday, October 22, at the Ring O'Bells. It is run by Nailsea Cider people. Apple days happen all over the UK and they are a great autumn festival that brings the community together to celebrate the apple harvest and sustainable living. This was Nailsea’s 10th Apple Day giving lots of people will be the opportunity to learn what their right arms are trying their hand as pressing apples, tasting fresh apple juice and get to know more about the cider making process. Children’s Hospice South West provide lots of the apples and usually man a stall to tell about the work they do supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families. The event included Cider House Rounders, Happy Band folk singing and Mendip Morris dancers PHOTOS: Courtesy of the Ringers
Eat:Festival for Nailsea
Saturday, October 8
EAT:NAILSEA: What a super duper food and drink fest, biggest and best in the series with another planned for December, wow. Big thanks go to organisers Bev and Sarah Milner Simonds who will help of Nailsea Town Council, North Somerset Council and Crown Glass Shopping staged a mega market scene in Nailsea town centre. We caught up with North Somerset MP Liam Fox buying a Rambo sausage roll and at the Nailsea cider stall. People of all ages and their pets enjoyed a fabulous feast of a day out. Our preview to the event is on our October front page HERE
Kaiser Keller play Nailsea
Saturday, October 1
Im Hamburger "Kaiserkeller" starteten die Beatles in die 'Rock'n Roll Ära'. Sie schrieben unzählige Meilensteine der Musikgeschichte, die zeitlos modern sind. Mit dem "Tribute to The Beatles" verneigen sich die Musiker von "Kaiserkeller" vor dem musikalischen Schaffen der "Fab Four". Der "Kaiserkeller" ist eine energievolle Rockband, die sich dem ursprünglichen Beatles Sound verschrieben hat. Das konnte die Band mehrfach ab 2016 unter anderem in England unter Beweis stellen. Sämtliche Klassiker der Beatles lassen sich an einem Abend nicht spielen, freuen Sie sich aber auf viele bekannte Songs zum Mitsingen in original Tonarten und so nahe am Original wie es geht. Für Beatles Kenner ein Leckerbissen, für Interessierte eine musikalische Entdeckungsreise in die gute alte Britische Rock'n Roll Zeit.
