| Notice Important information from John Borda The closure of Lloyds will mean that there are no more banks in Newmarket. This has triggered a process to install a “banking hub”, used by all the banks for largely the same functions as they used their bank premises. Counter services are still available at the Post Office, and will also be offered at the hub, with the addition of other services by banks on a rotating basis. The plan is to open it before Lloyds closes. More info will be available when a suitable property has been selected. FOOD BANK This is moving from the Catholic Church Hall to the Turner Hall and will be open from mid to late mornings every Thursday. Volunteers welcome The British Racing School & Newmarket Charitable Foundation Are asking for volunteers (over 25) to host 16-18 year-olds beginning their careers in racing, who can offer a safe, welcoming home; agree to undergo safeguarding checks and can support such a young person starting out in the horseracing industry.
