Friday, April 13, at 7.30pm the Roving Crows (rovingcrows.com).

The Roving Crows are a Ledburybased Celtic band drawing influences from genres including rock, folk, blues and jazz. They will play in our newly reordered church in Welland at a cabaret-style event.

Music, food and drink! Tickets are available from Welland Post Office or from Dave Richardson on 01684 592088.

Saturday, May 5, at 7pm the Camping and Caravanning Brass Band will return to St James’ Church to give a concert. With members of the band from all over the UK, they will bring a large following from the visitors at the Blackmore Park site.

Saturday, June 16, at 7pm the Tredegar Orpheus Male Voice Choir will give a concert in the church.

With a large following from this area, another entertaining evening is planned. With supporting local artistes we again hope to fill the church. A post-concert supper and bar will also be arranged.

The 362/363 bus service is now second to none through Welland, and Worcester every 30 minutes!

The cost works out cheaper than existing car park charges into the centre of Malvern, so it makes good sense to take it.

You can catch the bus from either Marlbank Road or The Pheasant, depending on where you want to go and the new timetables are available from the Worcestershire Hub website, the bus stops themselves and, shortly from what I have been told, the shop (however, this is going to be sometime in the future). We are very lucky to have this service so It is important to use it or we will lose it in the future.
