The Hyacinth Bulb Show was held in the village hall on 22nd February.
This was the second year that the Guild decided to concentrate the bulb show on hyacinths, and it proved a good move, as there were 48 entries, giving an excellent display in all classes.
Best exhibit in the show was a bowl of three hyacinths – any colour other than blue, white or pink – entered by Brian & Sonia Boughey, which won the Ivy Cotton Challenge Cup.
The BTJ Challenge Trophy for the most points in the show was also won by Brian & Sonia. Second and third were Frances Evans and Mike Baggaley respectively.
Show secretary Chris Bulman thanked everyone for their support they had given, which had once again produced a wonderful display.
On 28th April, we welcome Dean Williams who will talk on Help for Heroes. Dean spent 27 years in the Army, including 10 years in the Infantry. He was also in the Royal Army Physical Training Corps Rehabilitation, in many recovery centres.
If you are interested in the work done by Help for Heroes, please come to this meeting, it starts at 8pm. There is no charge, but there will be a raffle.
Our meetings are usually held in the village hall on the fourth Thursday of the month, beginning at 8pm. For further information, please contact Mike Baggaley on 01889 270161 or m_baggaley@btinternet.com

We hope everybody has a lovely Easter break and enjoys some yummy chocolate? Our annual Easter egg hunt and bonnet parade were a great success again, and this year we were joined by the children of Green Lea, we must say a big thank you to all the children and parents who showed off their artistic skills and produced some amazing creations, and also to FOGL who volunteered to help run our Easter extravagance.
Due to the weather conditions, school closures and Easter, we have decided to continue our ‘under the sea’ theme throughout the next half term, and after our trip to the sea life centre Birmingham we are full of fishy facts to help us with our activities.
As part of our music and movement sessions preschool have join the reception class on a Friday morning for a yoga bears class, all the children have thoroughly enjoyed this activity and we must say thank you to Mrs Blaize our yoga teacher.
Preschool and Green Lea have had some wonderful news that Miss Swingewood our forest school teacher has given birth to a baby girl Dorothy, we were so glad to hear of the safe arrival, as Dorothy decided to make an appearance as the beast of the East hit!!! So on behalf of all the staff, parents and children huge congratulations to all the family.
