BEETLE DRIVE
On Saturday 11th there was a Beetle Drive in aid of the Village Memorial Hall. In addition to the usual prizes for the first beetle drawn and most points, there were others for; most number of  'I never got a six to even start!', lowest score (hotly contested), and best drawn beetle. So there were plenty of smiling winners at the end!

FUN RUN
On the evening of Tuesday 14th there was a Special Parish Meeting at the Memorial Hall, open to all, to discuss the possibility of the village organising a continuation of the Oldbury Fun Run, perhaps combined with a "village day or fayre". A committee was formed to organise next years Fun Run on Father's Day (17th June): Craig Brown, Matt Clothier, Penny Pearce, Glynn Poole, Jackie Rudrum, Mark Sorrell, Ivor Stafford, Dave Stewart, and Keith Sullivan. Here are some members of the newly formed committee after their inaugral meeting which followed the open meeting.

FIREWORKS
On Friday 17th the Deckers Youth Club had their fundraising fireworks party down at the playing fields. It was well supported and to help keep out the cold there was Mulled wine, burgers and hotdogs.
