Haloween - Day of the Dead

31st October will be celebrated across America as Halloween, when children in their hundreds cruise up and down residential streets knocking on doors and proclaiming the challenging words "Trick or Treat" - they then spend the next week on a sugar rush resembling an epidemic.

Halloween is not a British festival so if any children come roaring round your street, make sure they know if you do not approve of this American introduction:  turn off all the lights round the front and back doors, pull the curtains and put up a sign like the one in tonight`s Shropshire Star which announces

                             "Sorry, no trick or treat thank yooooo"!

The last child who came trick or treating at my door was presented with a cabbage - much healthier than sweets - and that was about 30 years ago.

Almost as strange as Haloween is the Mexican 
                                                 
                    DAY OF THE DEAD FESTIVAL AT MARKET HALL

 

 

 

Pat Jones, from Beyond the Purple Door, is creating a special mural to mark the occasion.   People can get involved by drawing on a giant chalkboard to create the ‘mural wall of the dead’ on November 2 and 3, between 10am and 4pm.   There will also be the opportunity to toast lost loved ones with a drink as well as a chance to purchase some Mexican and Mexican inspired artwork.

 

The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, traditionally takes place on November 1 in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (November 2).

 

The festival is growing in popularity and is now celebrated all over the world. It focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for, and remember, loved ones who have died.

 
            There a lot of British soldiers who have died in present and past wars
                                            who we can think of on this day

Please note, although J.G. Parry Thomas was born in Wrexham the family moved to Oswestry when `Parry Thomas` was 5 and he grew up in the town and was educated at Oswestry School - so he is more of an Oswestrian than a Wrexham man!!!

Election - Police & Crime Prevention Commissioner

Our Memorial Hall has been booked all day on Thursday 15th November for the Police & Crime Commissioner Elections.
You should have received your Polling Card and a Booklet from the Electoral Commission by now (you can see the booklet at www.aboutmyvote.co.uk )
Information about the Candidates in our area should be available on this web site as well - though there was nothing there when I looked this morning.
If you are not yet Registered to enable you to vote, remember Registration closes on 31st October.

There is a Public Husting arranged in Shrewsbury on Friday 9th November - see this page:- http://bit.ly/PTYKfZ
There seem to be many points of view regarding these Elections - "pity it seems to be mostly Party Political" is common, "important change to make Police more accountable" is another, "total waste of time and money - I encourage you not to vote" is the view of an ex-Met Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair:-http://thetim.es/PU0lCn
But whatever your view, access to the information is important.

Anyone who can't access the on-line information is welcome to visit the Broadplace on a Friday between 11:00 and 3:00 and we will help you find what you want.

I have requested an email alert when Candidate Information is published - I will get Yoland to copy it round this distribution list when it comes.
