We apologize that the printed issue has not been distributed. It is sitting at the printers, but we are totally iced in and cannot get out! The ice down our driveway has been impassable for a week and will probably remain so until next week. Please share the electronic issue, available on our website.
All events and posters are on our website, and in albums of photos on our Facebook page. So visit our website www. theweymouthbridge.com or Facebook page for all the details. Please share this and ask others to subscribe.
