On behalf of the Traf News management and editorial committees, we would like to provide an update to the Trafalgar Community regarding our newspaper. As we navigate through these challenging times, we have experienced some operational and financial difficulties over the past 6 months. Despite successfully adapting to the pandemic, we have faced a reduction in advertising revenue which has greatly impacted the paper’s viability. Additionally, a few volunteers have had to step away for personal reasons. A joint meeting of the management committee and the editorial team has determined to place the paper into recess for the foreseeable future. Publication of Trafnews has therefore been suspended.

Thinking of joining the Trafalgar Men’s Shed and would like to know what goes on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 4pm?
