This month we remember the fallen and their ultimate sacrifice. Please do visit the poppy stall in the village outside Lex Allen Grove to show your support and by all means help out if you can. On page 13 you’ll find details of the Acts of Remembrance and Parades that have been organised in the community - also see pages 35 and 36 for the local church services.
Also taking place this month is Hagley Art Club’s annual exhibition. Pop along to the Community Centre to see what our talented local artists have been up to - for more information see their report on page 28.
The Hagley Library’s Summer Reading Challenge was a huge success and their best year so far. Read more about this and the fun day that they hosted on page 33. This is a wonderful initiative and hopefully one that will continue for many more years. It’s so uplifting to see the love of reading and true community spirit embraced by both the children who took part and their families who supported them. And we think the photo booth was awesome, well done to the wonderful staff and volunteers for this fabulous creation.
As we head ever closer to the season of all things merry we are pleased to bring you news of the Parish Council’s Annual Christmas Event. It will take place in the village on 30th November this year - more details can be found on page 8, we’re sure it will be a fantastic festive affair as always.
And on a light and loveable note we have a lovely report on page 32 from Home Run Hounds - yes, they’re tugging at our heart strings again ♥ If you love a food loving, kiss giving, tail wagging, dancing doggie then Solo is the girl for you - just beautiful and totally irresistible .... And we have the photo to prove it!
Have a great November, take care you lovely peeps and we’ll catch up again next month.
