OUT AND ABOUT: What a busy and entertaining Bank Holiday, the Jubilee celebrations in the Big Meadow were a real festival of entertainment. A Jubilee Concert at St Laurence's Church, classical music by Novello, German, Handel and Quilter sung and played with a glass of wine thrown in, the vintage cars at Ragley with a wonderful collection of veteran transport, Salford village celebrations with a visit from Aynoc and Eli, and a visit to see Rowlatt and David Cook at Wickhamford to see their newly created garden.

Wednesday, June 19, Hillers Shop and Ragley Meats have an open day with lots of goodies including free strawberries and cream. Don't forget to come to Bidford School fete in July to say goodbye to the old school; the new school and library are certainly shaping up.
