Doors open at 7.15pm for 7.30pm and tickets are £4.

Starting at the Red Lion, Stiffords Bridge, on a dry day, the route crossed fields, past an orchard, past recently ploughed fields and grazing horses, to Cradley joining Chapel Lane near the Chapel. Cradley Brook was never far away as views towards the Malvern Hills from the Herefordshire side were admired as were the early snowdrops and hazel catkins in the hedgerows. Once back at the Red Lion, nine people stayed for lunch and Garth was thanked. There is not a walk next week but the following week on Monday, March 22 a five mile walk around Guarlford will be led by David Allen (01905 831988). Please meet at the church (GR 813453) at 10am. This is a walk postponed earlier because of snow. On Friday, March 26 there is a four and a half mile circular walk to Howlers Heath and back starting from Bromesberrow Church (GR 743336) at 10am. The leaders are Phil and Joy Bunyan and it is hoped that the wild daffodils will be in bloom.

This means that the school now has two new classrooms, freeing the former teaching space for use as a hall, something the school has never previously had. In addition there are a new main entrance and two new offices. Finishing work remains to be done, but the new facilities are already in use and the children are delighted, while head teacher Karen Surrall, who has driven the project forward from the beginning, admits she cannot stop smiling! Others who have good reason to be pleased are the many local individuals and businesses whose fundraising and financial support have ensure the achievement of this major project. Among them are the team of mums – Alison Winters, Kay Meredith, Ella Norris and Kate Smith - who produced and marketed this year’s Beauty of the Malvern Hills calendar which alone raised a remarkable £6,000 for the building fund.
