BROOKVALE Community Association’s annual general meeting: The honorary officers were re-elected and the meeting also received updates on the village hall extension and the community garden, which is to be established in between the hall and Victory Park.

Committe meetings usually take place on the first Thursday of every month.

The association is always keen to welcome volunteers to become involved and is currently looking for help with final decorations to the hall. Please get in touch if you think you can help.

BASINGSTOKE Careers Fair: Takes place from noon to 2pm, next Wednesday, at the Basingstoke Discovery Centre, in Festival Place. With over a dozen employers, a similar number of training and support providers, four recruitment agencies and a job seeker workshop at 1pm this sounds like a great event.

BCoT Open Day: Hot on the heels of recent evening events Basingstoke College of Technology has an open day from 10.30am to 1pm on Saturday, November 15.
