Good luck to everyone taking part in the Bedford 10K Road Run tomorrow (Sunday).
Summer must be coming, because the Bedford International Kite Festival has come around again. It's taking place this Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June in Russell Park, and this year in addition to the all of the usual attractions at this free event there's a lot more going on besides.
Mayor of Bedford Borough Dave Hodgson has given a warm welcome to Bedford to... the Mayor of Bedford! Bedford, Ohio in the United States, that is, whose mayor, Stan Koci, visited Bedford (Bedfordshire) with his wife last week during a European trip to celebrate 50 years of marriage.
