Business at Dusk this week

MIKE Williams Country Clothing in Russell St is the venue for this Friday night’s free Business at Dusk for members.

Jo and her friendly team will take members on a tour of the iconic business, outline the origins of the business, offer specials, draw prizes and send happy members home with a gift bag. Canapes and refreshmen­ts will be provided throughout.

The timing for this event is perfect as Russell St is the key to the well-progressed Outer Circulatin­g Road (OCR) project. Hopefully local traders on the OCR Stakeholde­r Reference Group will join us for an update on works.
