Parcel wrongly delivered to Brownhill House

Dear Blogger

A large parcel has been delivered to Brownhill House, Brownhill, Ruyton XI Towns, Shrewsbury SY4 1LR

But it is not for us. The parcel comes from www.ageukincontinence.co.uk who have been informed.

But perhaps someone can claim the parcel before it is returned.

Join the Booster Army!

 

Can you spare a few hours to help with the vaccination and booster drive?

The vaccination centres and mobile buses all need marshals and administration help – without staff and volunteers we simply cannot operate. We'd appreciate any time you are able to offer.

If you can, please help.

Each day between now and New Year (excluding 25 & 26 Dec) we need;

  • Marshals
  • Administrators
  • Customer Service Centre phone operators
  • Door knockers to encourage uptake

Please join the Booster Army to help provide the vaccination service to our residents.

Even one morning or afternoon shift would help.

If you're able to volunteer to support the vaccination booster drive please sign up by getting in touch at boosterarmy@shropshire.gov.uk

Join CHRISTMAS ON THE BROWNHILL WALL

Dear Blogger

Remember last Christmas ..... or would you rather not.

The good bit was

MEETING ON THE BROWNHILL WALL -  Possibly the longest public seat in the country! 


If you have nothing planned on Christmas Day morning, why not

Come along, between 11.30 and 12noon, bring your festive tipple in a flask and claim a space from Brownhill House to the Church. 

Raise a glass/flask to a better year in 2022 and wave to each other, and passing cars, with something festive.

We look forward to you joining us, wherever you live in the village, with a plastic bag to sit on, something warming to drink and possibly, an umbrella in case of an unseasonable shower.

See attached pictures of last year`s gathering.

Last December 25th we said we would repeat the gathering at the end of Covid.....!!!!  Well, perhaps we will in 2022.

We had a very jolly turn out last year and lots of people were able to meet their neighbours for the first time - so lets do it again folks.

Best wishes from
Yoland

Park Hall the fun continues in 2022

Dear Blogger

Message from Park Hall Farm Experience.

The Fun Continues in 2022!

We hope everyone that has joined us on the farm for our Santa Experience has had a fantastic time! It has been a very busy time at Park Hall, and we have loved seeing so many of you this December.

After Christmas Eve we will be closed until the February half term in 2022 to give us chance to have a small break and make some updates around the farm.

We are excited to announce we will be kicking off February half term with a brand new event! There will still be baby lambs to see, plus we'll be adding lots of new activities to enjoy on the farm.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for news of when the tickets are released!

Apologies - Rob Rolfe pictures

Dear Blogger

On 3rd December, Rob Rolfe passed away peacefully at home in West Felton.

ROB ROLFE R.I.P.

Samuel Robert Henry Rolfe, known to his friends as Rob or Robin, died peacefully at home aged 86, on 3rd December 2021. Rob was one of the most important pillars of Ruyton XI Towns community, for over 40 years – he baked our bread.

Rob Rolfe and his wife Jean, were so much the centre and hub of Ruyton XI Towns from 1958 until they retired in 1998.

There are so many of us in Ruyton who remember the wonderful bread produced by Rob and his father, Gardiner, until his untimely death in 1980, when Rob & Jean continued the baking.

In 1956 Gardiner and Florence Rolfe bought Dickin`s village Shop in Church Street and in 1958 Rob finished his National Service and joined his father in the bakery and his wife Jean ran the shop.  When we came to Ruyton in 1969, I would take my order book down to the shop on Monday and Rob would deliver on Wednesday, he travelled all round the local area delivering bread and people`s orders.  Door to door grocery delivery is not new.

People came from far and wide to buy Rob`s bread, I remember a farmer`s wife regularly collecting a huge week`s supply, presumably to freeze.

After such an early start, Rob was able to spend his afternoons playing golf, which he loved, until earlier this year.  He did love a nice car, which he kept in immaculate condition, and was so proud of his latest motor, a Jaguar F PACE.

Rob and Jean were very sociable and had an active circle of friends.  They were known for their splendid Christmas parties which started about midday and went on into the night.  We will remember Rob for his beaming smile and cheerful chuckle.

When Rob and Jean retired to West Felton, he was able to play even more golf but also loved his garden which he kept in meticulous order, he was not happy when he eventually needed a gardener "They don't do it like I do it either"

Rob and Jean have been sadly missed since they left the village but Jean still supports any local events.

See attached the pictures taken by Margaret Lycett in 1998, when they left us without our locally produced Staff of Life.

The funeral will be at Shrewsbury Crematorium at 11.30 on Tuesday 4th January.

No black ties, family flowers only, donations to the Severn Hospice would be welcomed.
