The Forum committee had planned that this meeting would be hybrid (in person and online) unfortunately this won’t be possible this month. This meeting will again be on Zoom.
The Forum is aware that there has been an planning application to install a telephone mast in the Ward and another application is on its way. The Forum doesn’t at present have a view or policy on this matter. This could be discussed at the meeting.
Our November meeting is our AGM. Please consider putting yourself forward to join the Forum Committee. Further information will be available at this month’s meeting.
Next Forum meeting AGM Monday 8th November 2021
Thank you to everyone who attended September’s meeting – and to those who attended the Stirchley’s Celebrating Communities Fund too.
The minutes from the meeting on Monday 13th September are available here.
On Saturday 18th September Stirchley Baths and Stirchley Library will be open for Heritage Open Day. Come along and take a look – or offer to help out on the day.
As a bonus this year the Church of the Ascension on Pineapple Grove will be open on Sunday afternoon (19th) and there will be tea on the Green. The Dads Lane Estate is nearly 100 years old, as is the original St Hugh’s Church. The ‘new’ church is almost 50 years old!
Stirchley History Group have been given a Ten Acres and Stirchley Cooperative Society confectionery order form (probably from the 1950s).
If you know how to make the following cakes please do get in touch;
Feathers, Cherry Wine, Boston Tart or a Pixie Pudding
The Heritage Open Days theme is Edible England so it would be great to have something to show visitors and recipes to share!
