We’re On The Move!

For the last four years the Adderley Parish website has been with one hosting service. The website has grown and it now has in the region of 1000 hits per month. Not a lot by the standards of big website but for Adderley with its population of 300+ that’s quite something.

We have big plans for the website so that it provides the information that parishioners want and let’s people do things that they can do elsewhere such as buying tickets for Village Hall events on line.

To make this happen we are moving to a new hosting service. The move should happen next week and could take up to five days (hopefully it will happen more quickly). If you find the website isn’t available for a brief period then the move will be the reason why.

So stay with us and we look forwards to bringing you a faster website with new features in the next week or so. Any questions you can contact us on 01630 695862 or send us a message on the Adderley Village Facebook page.

Sunday’s Cycle Event

You may have noticed the small signs appearing on lampposts along the road to Audlem advertising a charity cycle event. It is likely that this event will come through the village travelling down Green Bank and then continuing down the Norton-in-Hales Road.

The Parish Council have contacted the organisers to alert them to the potential for accidents on the Norton-in-Hales Road on and near the old railway bridge where the road goes through a series of bends and also narrows considerably. As farms are currently silaging and spraying there is the possibility of agricultural machinery being on the road on Sunday in addition to the usual traffic.

It is suggested that people in the village be aware of the potential for disruption if a large number of cyclists travel through the village on Sunday. The event is scheduled to run for the whole day.

Curry And Quiz Launches The Curry Club

Last nights Curry and Quiz Night was a sell out success. We packed out the Village Hall and a great time was had by all. A challenging quiz by Phil Gadd helped us build a healthy appetite for the real stars of the evening the curries! Provided by members of the community there was a wide choice from the spontaneously combusting Phall to a meaty West Indian and everything in between and something for the vegetarians and non-curry eaters. We had lots of rice (lots and lots) but best of all everybody had a great time and it was really, really nice to see a number of new faces.

The plan is to run Curry Nights on a regular basis with variations on a theme and possibly cookery demonstrations with invited chefs and cookery competitions. Keep an eye on the website/FB page for information.

A BIG Thank You to Ross Alkureishi who inspired the event, the Village Hall Social Committee who organised it, the amazing volunteers who worked so hard on the night, not forgetting the bar staff. Once again well done Phil Gadd for creating and running the amazing quiz.

Helicopters

At Last week’s Parish Council Meeting we received a report from the Helicopter Liaison Committee. The Helicopter Training School at Shawbury is taking delivery of a new fleet of helicopters to replace the existing  ageing models.

As a consequence the training staff will be receiving conversion training over the next few weeks so you may well notice increased activity in the skies over Adderley. This is temporary and things should return to normal after May if all goes to plan. If you have any concerns contact our representative on the liaison group, Councillor Andrew Swindale who can advise.

Contact details can be found on the Parish Council page of the website.
