We have organised a Local History Fun Walk & Quiz for Friday 11th June to raise funds for the Cheslyn Hay Primary School. Only £1 each with teams up to six if required with 5 Sections with 5 Questions in each section including a photographic one. All questions are based on observations connected to local history, so that everybody, including any newcomers to Cheslyn Hay will all have an equal chance to win. It starts at the Talbot (the Dog) at 6.30pm and includes a short triangular walk round to the Colliers for more refreshments.
And the Coffee Morning coach trip to Chasewater takes place on Thursday 10th June leaving the Salem at 9.45am.
