Anti-Sociable Behaviour

There has been a few reports of anti-sociable behaviour of late and local residents are urging you to contact the Police and/ or Stafford and Rural Homes on 0800 111 4554 to report any disturbances.

Please have details and times/dates to hand and as much information as possible.

Some examples are:

• noisy neighbours.

Practice Night Cancelled

Our planned practice night this evening is cancelled, due to other commitments.   Our next ringing session is on Sunday at 10am for Sunday Service.

Mrs Doreen Bolas 1926 to 2021

It is with great sadness to report the passing of Mrs Bolas. She lived in Ash Drive in the late 80's to the early 90's and prior to that she had lived down Shawman's Lane for many years. She was an active member of the White Heather Club and the WI. 

I always remember walking home from school chatting to her while she was tending to her Garden with Les Jenks who live in the flat next door to her.

She then left the village and moved to Telford to be closer to her Granddaughter and family.

R.I.P Mrs Bolas

P.S.  I'm hoping I have got her birth year correct, if I haven't please let me know.  If you would like to add anything to the posting, or add your memories of her, please just email me.

North Staffs September 2021 meeting at Broughton

We had been discussing visiting other towers during our practice nights at Haughton for quite a while.  Dick and Karen had just begun ringing in rounds just before Lockdown and so both had never visited another tower.  The September's North Staffs meeting was due to be held at Broughton, this seemed a fine opportunity to start. I arranged to meet Dick at the back of the church and we proceeded to Broughton picking Karen up on the way. 

In the car, we discussed how the Hall at Broughton had once been owned by nuns, but was now owned by John Caudwell (The Phones 4U chap). Full details of the hall can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broughton_Hall,_Staffordshire

After arriving at the Church we met and I introduced the North Staffs Ringers to Dick and Karen; Tim and Jan Hine, Selwyn Jones, from Stafford, Rob Barcroft from Horton,  and John Hall from Alton. Although a little 'thin on the ground', probably due to the fact it was the first meeting in person since Lockdown, we managed to ring some well struck, rounds and called changes, Grandsire doubles, Plain Bob Minor and Stedman Doubles.  Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and it was great to be back in the company of ringing friends.
