Further details
Thurnemouth Day comes once a year; it's when the town puts on its party hat and celebrates its history. It's a big day for Trevor, who's been given the honour of officiating at the opening ceremony - if Maureen can get him there on time.
Joyce has promised Carol a place in the Choral Society's Choir for their production of The Messiah, but forgot to clear it with the dragon-like Musical Director, and John's plans for a fishing trip are scuppered by Joan's dodgy plumbing...
