History Society 
Our next meeting on Wednesday February 15th 2012 at 7.30pm will be a talk by Sylvia Beardshaw 
‘’The Boys on The Board’’
On the men from Chaddesley who fought in World War 1.

The Chaddesley Corbett Village Hall Management Committee would like to thank Trish McManus for her commitment to the village hall. Trish is retring as Hall Manager to take up a full time position elsewhere.

Marie Pardoe from Harvington is taking over the roll of Hall Manager.
We wish both Trish and Marie well.

Bill Waldron, our existing Lengthsman, has decided to leave and of course the Parish Council is very disappointed with his decision. However, we would like to thank Bill for all his hard work on behalf of the Parish over the last few years, which has been very much appreciated by everyone.

This means that we now have a vacancy for a new Lengthsman. The position involves highway maintenance to include digging ditches, siding out footpaths, removing overgrown vegetation, drainage work, etc. Training will be provided by Worcestershire County Council. Remuneration is at the rate of £12 per hour, up to 300 hours per annum on a regular weekly cycle. The position is open to contractors or on employed status. A full job description and further information is available by applying to the Clerk on 01299 851654 or by e-mail to: clerk@chaddesleyparishcouncil.org.uk.

The appointment would be effective March 2012.

“What sweeter music can we bring than a carol for to sing?” 
So asked the choir of the Nativity Play and indeed there could not be a much more appropriate way to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
Congratulations to children, grown-ups and donkeys. To the many actors, singers, musicians, hand bell ringers, stage crew, set builders, lighting, sound, front of house, caterers and general helpers who all came together to create this spectacular and moving production.

Most of all we must thank and congratulate Richard Vale who produced and directed the show. From the 40 year old costumes, original script and stunning glass star, he has maintained the tradition that Rosemary Brinton-Butler started all those years ago. But he has enhanced it for 2011 with exquisite details – an authentic Aramaic birth announcement, wonderful wise men’s shoes and a poignant reflection of just how special the babe born in Bethlehem would be. Rosemary would be proud of him, as indeed all of us in this Parish can be."
