Create a logo for Bagni di Lucca events
The Municipality of Bagni di Lucca has launched a competition to create a logo for the events of the area.

Entries close 3rd October. Details on the poster below.

Well done volunteers
A wonderful group of volunteers has got together to renovate the tired railing along the river in Ponte a Serraglio. Money raised from two events at the casino earlier this year was used for materials. Now the volunteers have stepped in to do the work.
The old sign beside the bridge has also been cleaned.
Thank you to all the workers!
