We hope you all had a good Easter break albeit an early one this year and are now starting to enjoy the milder weather and lighter evenings. April is a lovely, cheery month which always seems to be full of the promise of good things to come.....
And we start with the Hagley Music Festival. This wonderful community event runs across sixteen days offering a full, varied programme and something for everyone to enjoy. Please turn to page 31 for more details and a link to their website.
We’re delighted to bring news and hopefully the sound of more church bells. Taster sessions for budding new bell ringers will be happening at both St John’s in Hagley and St Leonard’s in Clent on Mondays and Wednesdays. Check out “Ringing Richard” on YouTube to whet your appetite and head over to page 37 for more information and contact details.
And while your still on this page please may we bring your attention to the Home Run Hounds at the foot of the page - they’re hoping for blood donations from your lovely canine companions to help other sweet doggies who may be in need.
We’d like to put a call out for the Hagley Hub which runs in St Saviour’s Church Hall every Tuesday. This low key, community event has been up and running since November last year and is proving to be very well received indeed. However more volunteers are needed to keep it active - if you are interested and would like to help then please see Steve Colella’s Community report on page 11 for more information.
That’s it for this month. Have a bright and cheerful April all you lovely people and we’ll catch up again with you in May.
