Tour of Britain
With The Tour racing through the Borough on September 8, it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase your town or village as some of the world’s most famous cyclists race through in a mass of noise, colour and fun all live on ITV4, building on the wonderful efforts of your communities for the 2018 race!
All schools on the route will be closed for the morning to enable the children to support the riders. The race starts at West Bridgford and finishes at Mansfield.
- The route through your community and approximate timings will be available soon
- Start planning celebrations and have a chance to start assessing potential items you can purchase through external suppliers for common items such as bunting, flags and banners
- Make the most of showcasing the efforts your councils, groups and individuals invest in celebrating the race
- Business owners on or near the route can join in the celebrations before or on the day
- There will be the County Council’s Best Dressed Town or Village and land and water art competitions
Wysall Book EXCHANGE
The Wysall Book Exchange is now up and running! It has been provided to the village by the Village Hall Social Committee and is located in front of the Village Hall. It is painted bright blue so can’t be missed.
Come on down and see what’s on offer and help yourself to any book that takes your fancy. If you have any books/DVDs that you would like to share bring them along and just place them on the shelves.
In time we expect to also have a collection of children’s books and DVD’s as well.

This is a photo of the pile of rubbish collected on Saturday 28th February 2021 which I think you may have seen. This included 8 tyres , an office chair , multiple large oil containers and enough bottles of booze to sink two battleships . A mini army of near 30 volunteers all socially distant from each other remaining in their bubbles retrieved this from deep ditches , high edges and green grass!
