Are you interested in the history of our community?  Will you have a little bit of time in these long winter evenings in your armchair when you might be twiddling your thumbs and itching to do something bit more interesting than watching Soaps?  

Well, if that sounds like you read on………..

As you know we have been gifted the most amazing collection of historical documents about our village by Geoff Butter.   We have got Lottery Funding to preserve this and have finished building the Heritage website which you can view here.   

We’ve had all the images digitised and we have thousands of them to add to the website – there are a small number up already but lots more to come.   

We need your help to ‘catalogue’ them so that when they go onto the website anyone searching can find what they are looking for.   It’s a fairly simple job to do and we are giving people training in this so that they feel confident to do this in their own home when it’s convenient to them.    So if you use a computer already, a PC, laptop or Chromebook, and can spare a couple of hours to come to the village hall to be shown what we need it would be great to see you.

First session is set up for Friday 20th October 10.30-12.30 am at the village hall, but there will be others arranged if this is not convenient.  Come along with a laptop or Chromebook but if you don’t have a portable one come anyway but let us know beforehand so that we can organise something for you.  

There is one warning though – once you start looking at this material, you very quickly get hooked and forget what you are supposed to be doing as its so fascinating looking at how our community has changed and its rich history!    

If you would like more info before committing speak to Val or Paul Nash  07814 071 254 who will be happy to explain it a little more.

For many, many years Barry has brought joy to all of us with his beautiful displays of flowers around the village and at the church.  

Frequently Barry has been seen head down amongst his blooms, planting and tending his numerous pots and not only in the summer, at the end of the season Barry was once again replanting to bring colour to the village to brighten our lives during the dreary months of winter.  Unfortunately Barry has had the misfortune to break his leg and is no longer able to tend to his flowers.  

We all wish him a speedy recovery. 

The Parish Council has stepped up and made a great contribution in purchasing some large tub planters which have been installed around the village.   

Barry, our resident flower guru is now taking a back seat, so a call was made to volunteers to take on the planting and upkeep of the planters to continue Barry’s wonderful work.   We are 18 volunteers, a big thank you to you all.    Can you imagine that all this was done by one man! 

What a fantastic service Barry has given to the village.  His unwavering enthusiasm, his energy and tireless generosity over the many years is appreciated by us all and we, the residents of Adderley would like to thank him profusely for all he has done and for any plant advice he can give us in the future.

Thank you Barry!
