What a brilliant event. As a resident of Audlem and having participated in the event for several years I believe this years event was one of the best. I would like to thank ASSET and the army of helpers for making the event possible, (and run so smoothly). It’s great to see so many people coming into the village to watch and support the event, it’s also great to see the number of locals lining the road, all of the way from Hankelow, it really makes the event special. Finally a thank you to the Hankelow end, it’s great to assemble on the green and have an opportunity to start the day well fed with super bacon baps and coffee. Several drivers commented on the event and the great village we live in, events like this make Audlem special, long may it continue.

An umbrella was left in Kingbur Mill on Sunday 26th July. If it's yours, you can reclaim it at Williams Newsagents.

Do we still have a local taxi??

Can highly recommend Jason Rudd 07966 653634, based in Hankelow. First class work, neat and tidy.

I've used Clement Giraud of the Clement Tree Company. https://www.clement-tree.co.uk. Mobile 07733 266898. A couple of weeks ago he did some major tree surgery to my large flowering cherry tree and a pine tree. Two years ago I had him do similar work. He's a pleasant young man, cleans up after himself and at my request leaves me with all the chippings to add to my compost heap. He can also take it away if you wish. I have been happy with his work.

I strongly recommend Tom Evans. He and his dad (Dennis) have been trimming our hedges for several years. Very reliable, excellent work and always leave our garden looking clean and tidy,
His mobile number is 07927 094738.

Hi – Does anyone know a good tree surgeon? More than pruning / trimming, I need someone who can fell a couple of large branches at height, safely, and then dispose. Thanks.

It was wonderful to see so many attend George's funeral on Wednesday afternoon, sadly we were unable to attend as Jan's haematology appointment at McMillan clashed. But I'm pleased to say that the result was encouraging. George would have approved.

Hi Steve, Mark Seabridge 07837400089 does excellent garden work.

Hopefully many of you will have seen that we're holding an exhibition of art from Audlem St James Primary School this weekend and have a charity busking spot running on Saturday afternoon.

Although there is no parking available at the mill at any time (except for holiday guests), please could I ask that the forecourt is kept free of cars over this coming weekend. This weekend's holiday guests will have access to their parking space before and after the busking.

hello everyone, due to a shoulder condition i am unable to trim my hedges. I have been let down by my usual tradesman, can anyone recommend someone? Thank you in advance.

Congratulations to everyone involved in George's service and internment. What a lovely event for a true local village icon.
Too many people to name individually but we all know he would have been very proud at what you all did.

Hi just reporting as I forgot my phone number on there;

Hi there,

I'm just looking for someone to do 3 small jobs in my late mothers house, with 2 tennants there;

1-replace a heating element in an oven (already bought the element to be delivered)

2-secure an overhead cupboard to the wall as it's coming loose

3-remove and replace a bit of damp wood that attracted some insects in the kitchen.

Let me know if anyone can help.

Great job with the stoning by the gate and over the bridge too.

Thank you – it is appreciated.

Nigel.

Thanks

The Village Fete August 30th
just a reminder
if anyone would like to donate any items towards our Bric a Brac , Tombola, Bottle Tombola stalls, they would be gratefully received . we can arrange drop off and collection of any contributions. please contact audlemfete@gmail.com

As this is likely to be quite a village event, just wondering if someone could film it using a drone?

This is a long shot, but if you could help it would be great...

Towards the end of May, there was a piano advertised – for FREE – in the Buy/Sell section. With the school holidays – and it being a busy time of the year, I was unable to ask the right people. ........ It is no longer on the site, but I wondered if there was a way that you could contact the 'seller' to ascertain whether they managed to 'find a home' for the piano – as, if not, we would be interested.

The link was: https://www.audlem.org/buysell-page-2-0-23831-1.html

Any information would be great. I can e contacted by email or on 07816 681 691

This application could present a double whammy in that if it is remotely successful I expect that the planning bid for land just across the road will rear its ugly head. The Americans have an expression for this. It's called mission creep.
Other than to make a lot of money can anyone explain what the immediate village demand is for yet more houses?

Hi All,
Please Note.
The Path / Gate way entering TPF ( just up from The Bridge Pub), will be having some work done to it on Monday 20th.
Approx time 10.30am-1pm. Extreme caution please.
The path is being graded and stoned.
Thank You

I criticised AOL for getting the location wrongly reported.
AOL are correct and I apologise for this.
However I still feel that Little Heath has carried a huge amount of developments recently and my sentiments are unchanged.

Hi Iain,

We’ve used Chris Fennell in Market Drayton before for kitchen appliance repairs.
He’s on 01630 655965 or online at Chris Fennell-online.co.uk

Thanks Shona
