MEMBERS of Chepstow Round Table fear they might have to ‘Fawke’ out for new signs after displays advertising the free Chepstow Community Fireworks event on Saturday mysteriously disappeared.

Three signs costing around £300 have vanished from the roadsides in the town in the run up to the annual event.

The signs which adorn the roadsides on the A48 and A466 on the outskirts of Chepstow went missing in action on 20th October and despite enquiries being made the culprit has not come forward.

Round Table members, who run the event at the Comprehensive School every year, are mystified and are worried that it may affect their fundraising efforts.

A Round Table spokesman said: “We have absolutely no idea who has removed the signs. Last year the fireworks raised over £3,000 for local good causes.  It is our biggest fundraiser of the year so we want as many people as possible to turn up to make the evening go with a bang.”

The colourful signs are a key part of efforts to inform local people about the event as well as leaflet drops, press articles and social media.

The spokesman continued: “We just want our signs back and for as many people as possible to turn up on Saturday.”

Entry to the event is free, although donations would be very welcome. Doors open at 4.30pm.  There will be live entertainment, food and stalls.
