Friday18 Starts Next Week!
 1 week to go!
Friday18 is almost here! This time next week and for the 7 weeks after you could be enjoying an hour’s free live music in either Beeston or Kimberley.
Just make your way down to Beeston Square or the venue of the week in Kimberley and enjoy great music from local artists. It’s all kicking off on 19 June and running until 7 August.
Beeston Summer Fete returns next month!
 Following the success of its inaugural launch last year, the highly anticipated Beeston Summer Fete is returning for a second year.
Mark your calendars for Saturday 4 July as the event returns to Broadgate Park, Beeston, 12.00pm-4.00pm.
This year’s festivities will kick off with the return of the high-energy, community, carnival parade that will set off from Roundhill School, through the Beeston high street through to the park. Look out for drummers, stilt walkers, banners and bubbles as the We Love Beeston parade makes its way through town!
Grassroots sports thriving in Broxtowe
 As the nation gears up for another blockbuster summer of sport including the Men’s Football World Cup in North America, Women's T20 World Cup across England and Wales, and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, we reflect on our recent investments in grassroots sport here in Broxtowe, encouraging participation and nurturing local talent.
Another Great Year for Hemlock Happening
 Thanks to all who joined us at the Hemlock Happening last weekend. There was an unbelievable 8,500 of you in Bramcote Hills Park enjoying the event this year!
Music, performances, great food, Transformers, fireworks, stalls, a bunch of funfair rides, bees in the Green Zone – and even better, the weather held out too.
Did you attend and have any feedback for the event? We’d love to hear it!
NHS Resident Doctors Strike
 Resident doctors are due to strike from 7am on Monday 15 June until 7am on Friday 19 June.
During the strikes, there may be fewer doctors working than usual, and services will prioritise life‑saving and urgent care. As with previous periods of industrial action, this may mean longer waits for less urgent care and some disruption to planned appointments.
NHS organisations have plans in place to ensure emergency care is prioritised.
