HERITAGE GROUP – The group had a really successful inaugural meeting with a fascinating presentation by Maj David Seeney on Dinedor’s secret army of the Second World War. Some of the audience were able to learn more about their fathers’ activities and we were all left wondering where the secret hideouts were. All are invited to our next open meeting on Tuesday at 7.30pm in Dinedor Village Hall. We hope to learn more about the history of the area with a presentation by Huw Sherlock and PJ Pikes of Archenfield Archaeology on Bullingham’s deserted medieval village and talk about how we can learn more about our own protected site. Admission is £2. Inquiries to Barbara Ferris on 01432 870696.

BREAKFAST GROUP – Launched in June, the Small Business Breakfast Group met again on July 4 for its second meeting at Sue Lim’s Blue Ginger Gallery, Cradley. Commencing with a continental breakfast at 7.30am, the meeting focussed on the subject of marketing for small local businesses. Chaired by Miles Meager (Mi-frame Picture Framing) the meeting welcomed a mixture of business owners from the original group as well as newcomers to give a good cross-section of local businesses; 13 in total. These included branded clothing (such as printed t-shirts) from Cradley’s Ashvale Business Centre, a design engineer, graphic designer, and a representative from Malvern’s Centre for Well Being. Kate Kavanagh from Whitewells Farm Holiday Cottages, who has a well-established business at Ridgeway Cross, said she found it helpful to be made aware of other businesses in the community, as her customers often ask for recommendations on a variety of local services.
