Looking forward to seeing you all at the village hall tomorrow. for a coffee and a bit of festive cheer.   There will be some lovely cakes, a choice of coffees with a little nip of something stronger included if you wish, and lots of chat and goodwill.  

Is there a new neighbour who might like an invite to join you, or someone you know who is on their own who might not feel able to come without some support?   Please invite them, it would be lovely to see everyone.   10.30 – 12 in the village hall this Saturday 29th November.

Yes, its that time of year again and the Coffee Morning crew are busy planning a festive treat for you all next Saturday 29th November.   Rumour even has it that you might be able to request a little snifter of something stronger to put in your coffee!  So, whether you like your coffee straight, as it comes, or you feel like putting a bit of a spring in your step on Saturday morning, come along and see us!  

And of course a coffee morning would not be complete without a cake or three, and the bakers are promising some very nice festive surprises.  Tell you neighbours, bring your friends, and lets make it a festive morning to remember.  

See you Saturday, 10.30 am      “Jingle bells, jingle bells ……. …….

Yes, its the last Saturday in October – can you believe that? This Saturday 25th October, and the nights are drawing in, there is a chill in the air, and the leaves are turning.   

But none of that applies at the coffee morning, because there is a warm welcome, lovely cakes, and excellent company to be had between 10.30 and 12.00 this Saturday.  Come and join us.   Rumour has it that there will be bun loaf and victoria sponge with another mystery offering still to be created.   Go on…….. you know abit of cake is always a good thing on a Saturday morning!

 

Saturday 27th and it’s coffee morning. Come along from 10:30 and enjoy good company and amazing cake. All from £3.00

We have been asked by Sarah Sartain, Friends of the Soldiers of Shropshire Museum, who organises Talks at the Castle, if we could promote their Autumn Winter Programme.  The flyers below give more information and there is an eclectic programme of speakers which may be of interest to you.  

We are so lucky that Geoff Butter saved this wonderful scrap book which was compiled by our village WI members in 1965.   It gives us a real snapshot of life in each calendar month in the village as well as nationally.   What a treasure!

And now, thanks to our volunteer Pete Bruty, this treasure is uploaded onto the Adderley Heritage website for you to enjoy as well.   Go and have a look.  Some of you will remember people who are in the photographs, or, who knows, you might find one of a younger you!!

Go to Adderleyheritage.co.uk  Go to the Search box and type in Scrap Book WI and all will be revealed.   Such a treasure trove……..  If you then want to look at a broader range of images type in Adderley WI and you will find images and articles created over the years by people in our community.   

If there is information that you can add or something you would like to correct on any page please let us know 

 

It may not seem like a big deal if that balloon flies away, (unless you’re a toddler, then its the end of the world).   It may seem like a lovely idea to release one in remembrance of someone, and an even better one to release lots of them to celebrate a special occasion….. BUT DON’T!!

They can kill or maim livestock and wildlife, by choking, trapping or strangling and swallowing one can lead to a slow and painful death.  Vets bills to operate on a cow to remove such blockages are astronomical. 

 A number of balloons have just been found on a farm in Adderley, one of which had been partially eaten by livestock.  We are asking you to do two things:

1.  Don’t buy these balloons or if you do, never release them outside.
2. Keep your eyes open and if you see one when out walking pick it up and bin it safely.
