MUCKY MUTTS DOG GROOMING
Sunscreen and sunhats were the order of the day for Tenbury’s free day of activities for youngsters in late June. It was great to see so many enjoying this free event and having a go at nearly everything. This was an afternoon of fun, with attractions including bouncy castles, a disco dome, tunnel inflatables, a magician, dog agility displays, face painting, henna tattoos, a climbing tower, merry-go-round and much more. Tenbury’s Mayor Sue Perry was busy fundraising with a soft toy tombola for her chosen charity ‘Youth of Tenbury’.

St Kenelm’s Church celebrated the 350th birthday of its bells on July 8th. The day started with Holy Communion at 10.30am, in which Canon David Sherwin gave thanks for the bells. The bells were rung throughout the day and Bob Davies and fellow bellringers from Clifton and Martley even allowed local residents to try their hand at ringing. It was also a special service for local deacon Rev Becky Elliott because she took her first communion service. Afterwards, parishioners were invited to a barbecue at the Rectory, followed by a fun dog show and a bell competition.

As part of commemorations of the 100th Anniversary of the end of WW1 people were invited to Bayton village hall to ‘Come and meet the Tommies’ of The Birmingham Pals Living History Association. The Pals represent the 14th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment (5th Division), staging living history displays about aspects of the Great War in an entertaining and interactive way. You could question the tommies about any aspect of the war and discover all about their kit and weapons and handle many of the exhibits. Additionally a local branch of the Western Front Association (WFA) had a large display in the village hall including many WW1 artefacts. The WFA is the leading worldwide organisation dedicated to remembering all those, from all sides, who served in the Great War of 1914-1918. They aim to educate the public in all aspects of the war through writing, talks, tours, commemoration and preservation of history.
