Committee members receiving awards( left to right) Ann Roxburgh, Andy Roxburgh, Jenny Brewer, Adam Styler and Carol Miller.
Moseley in Bloom gets Gold! Moseley in Bloom struck gold for the fifth year running in this year’s Heart of England in Bloom competition. The locally based volunteer group and charity received the top award for its commitment to improving the environment of the village. It also set an unprecedented record by maintaining its position as winner of the Urban Communities category for the sixth year in succession. Carol Miller, Chair of Moseley in Bloom said: “We are absolutely thrilled. “It is evidence of the hard work put in by all our volunteers over the past year to ensure we maintain a cleaner and greener environment and that 12
Moseley remains one of the most attractive villages in the region.” So why did Moseley win? What makes it so special? To form their decision the judges were met by the Moseley in Bloom committee at The Exchange and after an presentation by them together with pupils from Queensbridge School they left to start their tour of Moseley. After looking at the now established bed on the car park they were taken to see the excellent on-going work at the Dovecote, just along the road they visited Moseley Hall Hospital which is
used as a rehabilitation aid for people who have suffered brain traumas. Taking in Moor Green allotments and Cannon Hill Park they arrived at Moseley Park and Pool to meet the children from the Montessori Nursery who use the Park as their outdoor classroom. The rest of the tour took in Woodbridge Road, Laburnum Grove, St. Mary’s Church and Churchyard ending on the Village Green to meet other members of organisations with involvement to Moseley in Bloom. Volunteers required: Moseley in Bloom are always looking for new volunteers to help with a variety of roles – not all of which require bending over or getting your hands dirty.

Crumbling Moseley building given a new lease of life Husband and wife team, Ayaz and Lauren have taken on the massive task of renovating the former home of the Asman-Carnegie Boys Club, just a few houses along from the Post Office in Moseley Village. The grand Mock Tudor property, built in 1898 has been vacant for around 6 years and now the enthusiastic couple are restoring the building back to its former glory.
Richard Cadbury, the wooden porch entranceway, the Mock Tudor timber paneling and the strikingly large bay window, which will serve as a magnificent area for their store window display.
This winter they will be opening a design-led haberdashery, fabric and yarn store in the property with a large open plan creative studio for inspiring creative workshops such as sewing, soft furnishing and knitting as well as events, parties and exhibitions.
In the meantime the couple has launched a website and online store www.guthrie-ghani.co.uk under their company name Guthrie & Ghani which offers a taster for the larger collection of products that will be on offer in the shop. The website also hosts their blog which features regular updates on how the renovation is progressing and inspiring creative ideas and tutorials.
The couple is keen to preserve the original features of the building. This includes a foundation stone laid by Mrs 16

Apple Day at Martineau Gardens Celebrate this season’s harvest of apples, grown in Martineau Gardens’ orchard. This family friendly event on 13 October from 11am – 3pm will provide an afternoon of family fun. Apples from the Martineau Gardens’ orchard will be pressed during the event with a traditional wooden press, to produce delicious apple juice. You can also take along your own apples and a bottle if you’d like to press them and take the juice home with you. The Garden’s seasonal harvest will be for sale including apples, home-made jams, honey (from the Martineau Gardens’ 28
bees), freshly-cut vegetables and salads. There will be delicious home-made cakes, salads and sandwiches and other refreshments on sale. Also, make the most of all that rain that’s fallen this summer… stock up on mulch for fruit trees and vegetable and flower beds. This is the perfect time to spread mulch around trees and plants to help retain moisture and enrich the soil.

Loudmouth with Eastenders' actor Nitin Ganatra at the UK Sexual Health Awards
How do you talk to your children about sex? This is a topic that many parents find embarrassing and difficult to talk to their kids about, but we all know that it needs to be done. Luckily there is a local theatre company that goes into schools to do just that. Loudmouth Education and Training spent their early years in Moseley and were finalists in this year’s UK Sexual Health Awards. They are now just down the road in Balsall Heath and go into many of our local schools to help our children have a healthy well informed attitude towards sex. Loudmouth is the first theatre company to be nominated for the Pamela Sheridan Award for innovation in sex and relationships education. The company uses theatre to make the teaching of sensitive issues safe, appropriate and memorable. The company was founded by Eleanor Vale (still a proud Moseley resident!) and Chris Cowan in 1994 and has reached over 250,000 young people with their innovative work on issues including puberty and bullying in 30
primary schools and alcohol and teenage pregnancy in secondary schools and colleges. Eleanor Vale says ‘learning about these real life issues is so important for young people and so we work hard to keep the price realistic so schools can continue to afford this work in tough times. We recently worked in Moseley School on growing up and puberty which was a great success. Schools can book Loudmouth from as little as £6 per student which includes up to a term’s worth of lessons to support the work.’ If you think your children deserve the best in extra-curricular education then ask your school about their sexual health education programme. You can find out more about Loudmouth’s work at www.loudmouth.co.uk

St Dunstan's School Front Entrance
Exciting changes at St Dunstan's School
Playground
A new and exciting £2m building project at St Dunstan’s School has been underway since February this year. The first phase will be completed for the children’s return in September. At the end of the project some of the new facilities at St Dunstan’s will be five new classrooms, new withdrawal areas where staff can work in small groups with gifted and talented children or those who need extra support in small groups, three new Foundation classrooms with a dedicated outdoor play area and a Research Library for children to work in. The whole school will become wireless, there will be new toilets, staffroom, admin offices and a new school entrance. This is a very exciting time for St Dunstan’s! 34
In October and November prospective Nursery and Reception parents can come along and see for yourselves the difference these changes have made to this well respected local primary school. There are going to be three open days so hopefully you’ll be able to make it to one of them. Two of them are in the morning at 9.30 on Wednesday 17 October and Thursday 8 November and the third is in the evening from 7pm on Wednesday 14 November.
