Army cadets from Thornbury took part in a 24-hour charity event to support the Royal British Legion. Following the cancellation of the Poppy Appeal on the last weekend before Remembrance Sunday, the cadets went above and beyond to raise money for the appeal. The event and challenges were devised for cadets and instructors from the whole area of Bristol Army Cadet Force – with Thornbury cadets joining detachments from Keynsham, Ashton, Avonmouth and Yate. Everyone participated in a 24-hour virtual harbour patrol base and ‘Stag On’ with a target set to raise £1000. Participants logged on to Zoom for the programme crammed full of challenges, competitions and alternative versions of lessons which included: rifle firing positions, building an improvised shelter and an alternative camouflaged face .
These are unusual times, and the state of affairs can change quickly. Please check the latest travel guidance before making your journey. Note that our writer visited pre-pandemic.
Despite being fairly rural, Somerset has some great, characterful cocktail bars as well as traditional inns. Its country pubs are brimming with history and individuality. Some donât have a bar but serve beer from kegs in a central room, or out of hatches. Many still have skittle alleys or corners set aside for table skittles. Expect lots of local cider, though the craft beer revolution has caught on, so many pubs also offer independently brewed beer. Lately a new movement has seen natural and biodynamic wines featuring on wine lists. In the countyâs arty pockets you can find talented mixologists too, who incorporate local produce into botanical cocktails.
