Festival Fringe victim of air travel restrictions.
The Fringe event talk by Rebecca Abrams had to be cancelled as the author
was unable to return from Israel due to delays in air travel caused by
the Volcanic dust from Iceland.
We apologise to the disappointed ticket holders, to Keith Bradford at
Thornbury Bookshop and La Bruschetta who were providing the coffee and
cake but the cancellation was unavoidable.
All tickets are refundable so please contact Thornbury
Bookshop."
