New town hosts welcomed

03/03/2022

Felicity Brain and Terry Jones were introduced to BID members earlier this week

Two new town hosts have joined the Banbury BID team to help with the organisation’s work in supporting local businesses and promoting the town. Felicity Brain and Terry Jones were introduced to town centre business leaders at a Meet the Banbury BID Team event on Tuesday.

A BID is a Business Improvement District – a business led partnership, created following a ballot of local businesses to deliver additional services to local businesses. Banbury BID brings together 539 levy-paying businesses and organisations in Banbury town centre.

Membership includes both national and independent shops, hospitality venues, salons, health, leisure and wellbeing centres, the cultural and voluntary sector and office-based firms. Jasmine Gilhooly, Banbury BID consultant said: “[Terry and Felicity’s] roles are essentially a communication and support role within the town – encouraging better information gathering and sharing, providing a conduit back to the Banbury BID team for any comments and feedback.”

All Oldies All Evening

Your favourite music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s

Spend your evening with us for brilliant memories from four decades of music - the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Each evening we dig through our massive collection of some of the biggest songs from three fantastic decades. From the 1960s we'll play the songs that were around at the time when England won the World Cup, man stepped on the moon for the first time, Dr Who was first broadcast, and everyone was groovy during the summer of love. From the 1970s it's the tunes that will bring back memories from the period when the sun never stopped shining during that long hot summer, people played with Simon, we went to see movies like Grease and Jaws for the first time, and we boogied at the best discos. From the 1980s we select songs that were around in the era of the first CD players and home computers, the iron lady, the first episode of The Simpsons and the Live Aid concerts. From the 1990s the music will evoke memories of Cool Brittania, Girl Power, Britpop and big puffa jackets. You'll be singing along with your favourite music from four brilliant decades all evening long!
