Bishopton Week



The Bishopton Week Group, made up of local volunteers, are hoping that the events that have been lined up will be fully supported by the local and neighbouring communities.

 

Bishopton Art Group is holding an exhibition throughout the week within the village library during normal opening hours.

 

Congratulations to the particpants and winners of the first event of the week, the Fun Run. Registration for the Fun Run was at 5.45pm on Tuesday evening at Bishopton Community Centre. A mini-fun run for toddlers started at 6.00 pm and for everyone else it started at 6.30 pm. This year the Fun Run followed a new route avoiding main roads. Several ladies added to the festive atmosphere by taking part in fancy dress.
