CHANGE-RINGING

THE BROKEN CROSS

CLUB DAY

In the cricket match that was played in the afternoon, Badsey scored a victory over Bretforton, but in the tug-of-war Badsey's mighty men were unable to stand against the Railway navvies. We are pleased to be able to tell you that although our village had a regular 'day out' on the 22nd, we did not see or hear of a single case of drunkenness.

A MESSAGE FROM THE VICAR

My Dear Parishoners,

THE FLOWER SHOW

TO BEAUTIFY ...

CHORISTERS XMAS PARTY 

The Badsey Choristers were entertained to tea at the Vicarage on Tuesday, December 29th. After tea the time-honoured games of the season were solemnly proceeded with. The party would have passed off without accident but for the fact that whereas the bran-pie proved quite irresistible, the pie-dish proved quite the reverse and entirely collapsed beneath the weight of attention bestowed upon it. A magic lantern exhibition by the Vicar, who showed a good many slides of his own manufacture, brought a very pleasant evening to a close.

THE REGISTERS

In the absence of entries for August the following extract from the Badsey Marriage Register may interest our readers:

Anno Dom 1654:  John Snow and Elizabeth Frost - July: 24
