MARKET DAY: Nailsea Farmers’ Market was back on Saturday, February 15, 9am-1pm, with food + drink, community and craft stalls along the High Street which will be closed to traffic all day. Sadly it was cold and wet. New market organiser Hugh Thomas was in charge. At No 65 High Street the Q&A information desk was manned by Nailsea town councillors from 10am-noon. This month it is councillors Graham Parsons, James Turner and chairman James Tonkin in attendance. Nailsea MicroPub usually has early doors for those wanting good cheer. See our What's On page for the next date in March...

Backwell Camera Club is pleased to welcome Alison Webber on Thursday evening, March 6, at the WI hall.
Alison said: "As someone who is on the autism spectrum, I have expended a great deal of time and energy creating different versions of myself in an attempt to fit into society’s expectations of how I should behave.
"I refer to this disguise as the 'Cloak of Conformity' and the 'Corset of Expectation'.
"The corset shaped me into an idealised form while the cloak displayed a version of me to the world which said, 'look I fit in'.
"The Cloak of Conformity and the Corset of Expectation tells the story of my relationship with photography and autism and the ways in which my photographic journey has helped me realise that the cloak and the corset have been suffocating my creativity and that by discarding them I can ex-press my true identity."
Backwell Camera Club invites readers to what promises to be a highly interesting presentation and evening.
Doors are open from 7.30pm and meetings commence at 7.30pm prompt.
A small door fee is payable.
Backwell Camera Club is a club for photography enthusiasts of all abilities to exchange hear speakers and take display the results of members photoshoots with images taken at home and away.

PINKIES POSE: Here are our photos from market day which starred the Nowhere Fundraisers for Cancer Research UK stall launching its fortnight of fabulous activites in Nailsea to a variety of stallholders and shoppers on a busy traffic-free High Street. The last three photos in the slideshow below were taken at 6.30am in time to remind Nailsea People via our FaceBook page is was time to pop down to the village/town centre. Top are all our pink ladies and one pink suited councillor, plus the little piggy who went to market on the pork stall and as an alternative we had the boys in blue Nailsea Freemasons. Nailsea is run by Somerset Farmers Market and is one of its biggest with usually more than 60 food, drink, craft and community stalls and guest musicians. Thank you everyone who 'posed' - the weather was good and the sun was shinning as we left.
SKYLARK: Not 99 red balloons but one solitary early Wednesday morning, March 19, flight over Nailsea - Phil Williams asks if it landed at rugby club - anyone know? Beth Connock who took the main photo said: "The balloon came down at the back of Poplar farm. It was apparently a lovely flight and not cold!" Matt Bunker took the landing photo. He said: "It was in a field between Parish Brook and North Drove. Not where they expected I don't think and the recovery vehicle struggled to reach them. Given the boggy state of the fields where they border the rhynes, I'm not surprised." And Mike Petteford shared the airborne images, thanks everyone
