There will be a “Blue Light Disco” on Saturday night. Sam Davis of the Police-Citizens Youth Clubs organisation in Armidale who is behind the Glen event said it would be at the Masonic Lodge from 7 pm and was meant for people from 10 to 15 years of age.

PCYC is an organisation which aims to get police and young people connected in an informal way. There isn’t one in Glen Innes, though discussions with the council have been going on about setting one up.

Sam Davis said: “The main focus when we do a Blue Light Disco is to develop a positive relationship with the police”.

Saturday will be a busy night, with fireworks in the early part of the evening and then musical events at the Services Club and the Club Hotel. There will be no alcoholic bar at the Blue Light Disco but there will be at the two Services Club and Club Hotel concerts later.

The organisers are also thrilled about the number of cars which they reckon will turn up for a display on Bourke Street on Saturday.

Sue Waters said about 40 vehicles added up to “a terrific car display. We’ve got hot-rods, vintage cars, restored cars and replicas coming.”

One of the organisers of the car display was Peter Hogan.

He had put out the invitation and cars were revving up from all over the region.

The organiser of the street stalls in this year’s Chill N Glen says there are many more this year than last.

At the time of writing, Sue Waters of Carelle’s on Grey Street said 73 stallholders had signed up compared with just over 50 in 2017.

Last year, space on Grey Street was limited but this year the limits have been extended.
