Important Information From Shropshire Council Re: Avian Influenza

Avian Influenza Poster

Due to the increase in cases across England and the outbreak of Highly

Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Shropshire, APHA has introduced MANDATORY

HOUSING MEASURES in Shropshire from Monday the 27th of January.

This means that all bird keepers in Shropshire must keep their birds

housed until the housing measures are lifted. This applies to poultry

and other birds kept in captivity including chickens, ducks, geese, and

other exotic captive birds.

Dog Poo ……. Not a nice subject or a nice thing to step in

Yes, its one of those things that we all hate and sadly one of those things that we are finding around the village again.  So to help those of you that don’t want to accidentally step in it, and to draw the attention of those dog owners who feel its ok not to pick it up, we have started highlighting the offending items with fluorescent paint (see image below).

Its not nice, or neighbourly to not pick it up and it upsets people who take care to clear up after their dog to know that others don’t.  Please carry poo bags when you walk your dog and dispose in the bins provided.  Thank you.  

Village Coffee Morning this Saturday – can you invite someone who may not like to come on their own?

Its always difficult if you have just moved into a village, or if you have just retired and didn’t really have time to get to know people when you were busy working.

If you live near someone who may not be aware of our village coffee mornings, why not just check if they know its on and invite them to come along.  People love to be asked

You might be able to tempt them if you tell them that there is an Apple and Pear Cake, a Carrot Cake, a Cherry and Coconut chocolate slice and a Lemon Drizzle on offer this week.  Something for all tastes we hope as well as good company and a warm welcome.

Hope to see you there!  10.30 Saturday 25th Jan, in the village hall.   

Remembering Adderley Through Oral History

As part of the Adderley Heritage project we are pleased to announce the first of a series of oral histories featuring Adderley residents talking about their life in the Parish. These memories are an important part of the history of the community and keeping a record of how residents viewed events is an important lens on the past.

Number one, featuring Barry Hale, has just been posted on Adderley Heritage, you can view it here:

There will be more to hear in the coming weeks so look out for news here and keep up to date with Adderley Heritage News here:

Coffee Morning Header

Yes, the last Saturday in the month is here, 25th January.  Hasn’t time flown this month inspite of the awful weather which has been so dull and miserable?   Well if its getting you down and you want cheering up abit, there is nothing nicer than a cup of coffee, an excellent home-made cake and a chat with people.

Join us in the village hall on Saturday morning at 10.30 when you can be sure of a warm welcome and a chance to catch up.  

We look forward to seeing you there.

We’re Moving!

Adderleyparish is moving! For the last 10 years the parish website has been hosted by a wonderful organisation called 34SP.com. They’re based in Manchester and they have an excellent support desk which has looked after us. However, for historical reasons the actual domain, adderleyparish.co.uk has been hosted by 123-Reg. While 123-Reg have been very good it has meant that billing has been a little more complicated. 

Sooooo we’re moving our domain from 123-Reg to 34SP.com. As there are going to be a few organisational changes over the next few months which means different people doing different things behind the scenes then this simplification will make life easier by bringing everything under one hosting company.

Why are we telling you this? Well if all goes to plan then you shouldn’t notice any difference and you will be able to access our news and information plus receive notifications for those of you who subscribe to updates just as before. The transfer process takes 5 – 7 days so if you notice things aren’t working as they should by all means let us know but hopefully in a week’s time we will have successfully completed the changes.

Fingers crossed.
