During April the Dursley Conservative Club closed its doors for the last time after well over 100 years of continuous use. Home to several skittles teams and the Dursley Quiz League, as well as being a social club for members, the premises is due to be converted for new use, possibly a restaurant and flats. Elsewhere in town the work on the sports centre extension to the swimming pool continues with visible changes every week.
