"Community News" - Have you completed and returned the QUESTIONNAIRE?
The questionnaire was included with the recent Community News that is
delivered to every house in the area.
As Your Information Shop publishes Community News we need to have a good
response to the questionnaire in order that we can apply for Grant Funding.
If we do not have a reasonable response
and funding cannot be obtained then the long-term future of Community
News is likely to be in jeopardy.
If you have then thank you for completing a questionnaire.
If not please complete one before 16th May.

St George's
Day special peal at Norton in Hales 10 am Saturday 24th April
Readers will be pleased to know that at Norton in Hales the Bells and
Clock with its unique Carillon are all now fully working.
Work has been going on in the St Chad's Bell Tower since early April to
replace the worn and rusted wires which connect the bell hammers to the
1868 Carillon and the later dated Clock. As well as chiming the traditional
quarters and hours, the Carillon plays a well known hymn tune at 9, 12,
3 and 6 each day. Carillons like this one are quite rare in England and
usually found only in City Halls or municipal buildings, whereas in Continental
Europe they are much more common.
The work has been funded with help from Norton Parish Council , The Shropshire
Association of Church Bell Ringers, and the Tower's own funds.
The Bell frame, which supports a total weight of 27 cwt (about 3 tonnes)
carries the 8 bells at the top of the tower behind the louvres. Its made
of cast iron and steel and itself weighs about 2 tonnes. Its just been
cleaned and repainted. The bells are hung for traditional "full circle"
ringing by a local team
and you can hear them ringing for regular services at St Chads. These
bells vary in age but the oldest is dated 1636, and the ring was last
augmented & rehung in 1967, when 2 further bells were added. They
are a popular venue for visiting ringers and the next opportunity to hear
them will be Friday 23rd April (St Georges day) at 10 am.
Anyone interested in learning to ring is welcome to join us any Sunday
morning 10 30 am.
Speed Watch Training - Sunday 23rd May
Training in the use of the speed gun etc will (it is planned) to take
place on Sunday 23rd May at 1-30 in Odd Fellows hall
