PRESENTATION - Residents of Almeley and the surrounding area will be delighted to know that Mrs Irene Bray who has been Postmistress at Almeley since 1983, has been presented with a framed certificate to mark 20 years of loyal service to the Post Office. Not only was she awarded with the certificate, she is to be presented with a gold watch and matching bracelet, to mark this auspicious occasion. In addition to her dedicated work as Postmistress, she has also entered the Hereford Times Best Private Gardens Competition and the Business Garden Competition. All the bedding plants in her very colourful garden have been raised from the seeds, which Mrs Bray gathered in her garden last year.

VILLAGE PLAN - the next Working Party Meeting for the Almeley Village Plan will be at the Bell Inn, Almeley, on Friday, August 29. Of the many suggestions lodged in the boxes situated in the parish 114 items have been sorted from the overall entries and will be discussed. It would appear that one third of the houses in the village are involved in these proposals.

ACTIVITIES GROUP - Little Sister, a female vocalist and male guitarist, entertain on Saturday, August 16, from 8 pm, with music from the 60's onwards. Proceeds go to Almeley school. People from the village and beyond will receive a welcome at the village hall.
