April in the ForestThe three years of GrowWithWyre have finally come to an end. The partnership betweenthe Forestry Commission, Natural England, local authorities, conservation charities, local or-ganisations and landowners has achieved a great deal for the landscape, wildlife and communi-ties of the area.(See information on separate page.)This month we will be finishing the SensoryTrail around the Discovery Centre. Using nativeplants and sculptures inspired byWyre’s wildlife, people can enjoy the sounds, smells, coloursand textures of the natural world. There is a story telling circle, a giant xylophone, a squirrelassault course and a clearing where you make an Andy Goldsworthy-style “Celtic Circle”. Asall these features are easily accessible, they can really enhance the value of a visit for anybodywith a sensory or mobilityimpairment.

A few friends and I used to play a rather naughty gamewhen we were in a tea shop or restaurant. If the place wasfull-ish and neighbouring tables were occupied, we would raiseour voices slightly and say things like,“..and his blood wassplattered halfway up the wall!”, or “Mind you, with behaviourlike that no wonder he got such a long sentence”. You couldguarantee a noticeable hush from adjacent tables.
Conversation (of a rather more sensible sort) is incrediblyimportant to us human animals. What pleasure these smallexchanges bring, and how much we miss them when circumstances mean we have toforgo them. How sad that daily we read that the elderly and housebound can go dayson end without small human interactions of this kind. I would hope that in Bewdleywe don’t have this problem, because we all talk to our neighbours. I know that friendsoften say that “popping down to the town” didn’t take the twenty minutes theyallowed, but something nearer an hour because they exchanged a few words with somany acquaintances. I know that St Anne’s has a pastoral group who visit those whocan’t easily get out, and I’m pretty sure there are other setups like this, as well ascountless neighbourly kindnesses that happen every day. Sociologists can point to theabsence of these sorts of networks as being indicators of dysfunctional societies.
So I’m glad that I can recommend a Bewdley trip down town for an impromptusocial occasion; as long, that is, as you aren’t in a hurry. I’ve got half an hour now I’vewritten this. I can feel a need for a tin of tomatoes coming on.

It took just anhour and a half for5 of us to clearthe riverside pathbetween thebridge and the Bewdley Schoolon 3rd March (two hours if you include thecup of tea at the
Merchant’s Tea Rooms). Just a few points:There were 10 bags of assorted rubbish collected, of which 5 bags were recyclables.A lot of the rubbish was very old, so the rateof accumulation may not be as fast as itwould first seem.We couldn’t (and wouldn’t want to) collectbags of dog poo flung into the undergrowth.If you’d like to hear my opinion on peoplewho do this, give me a call.…and it was easyIt was no problem to arrange loan of equipment from Wyre Forest District Council (Green Street depot). Just call MarkBrown or Christopher Phillips of the Environmental Maintenance Team via theWorcestershire HUB on 01562 732928.They will also have the bags of rubbish takenaway at the end. So how about you andsome friends, or your organisation, tacklingsome other litter hot spot?

HELP EVERY CHILDTO HAVE A GOOD CHILDHOOD
When we see a sullen adolescent lad lurkingon our street corner in a hoodie, or amouthy young teenage girl who gets into acar with older men we are likely to watchour purses, cross the street and mutterabout youth who are ‘out of control’. Whyshould we care about kids like this? Butwhat if the teenager on the corner is someone in urgent need of help? The scandal is that every 5 minutes in this country, a child under 16 runs away fromhome. They are unhappy and feel unsafe andunwanted. Often they are fleeing neglect,conflict or actual abuse at home. A shockingproportion (1 in 4) are forced onto thestreets by their parents or carers, so theywill probably not even be reported missingto the police. This leaves young teenagerswho run away (sometimes as young as 8) in real danger of exploitation, crime or exposure to drugs and alcohol. Here is howyou can help today! By working with peoplein the local community you can help to raiseimportant funds for The Children’s Societythrough fundraising activities and events. Ifyou are interested and want to find outmore, with no commitment, call RosannBoyce on 07715 122494 or emailroseann.boyce@childrenssociety.org.uk .There is a house-to-house collection in mostof Bewdley April 14-28th. If you can help byvisiting houses near where you live, pleasecontact Susan Price (402199). If someonecalls at your door, please support him/her &so help children towards a better & happierlife.

Community News
We are about to make some changes over the coming weeks to thereception and waiting room area at the medical centre. The reasonfor this is the lack of room space for Doctors and clinicians. In orderto improve and increase the services we offer our patients we havere-located the repeat prescription ordering desk into the main reception just inside the front entrance. Here you will be able to re-order your medication over the counter or drop your requestinto the green box on the wall next to the counter. We would like to remind patients that in addition to visiting the surgery to re-order yourmedication you can also either post your request (we can post back if you enclose self-addressed envelope), order over the internet (registration required – see bottom of your repeat ordering slip or visit https://bewdleymedicalcentre.appointments-online.co.uk to register) or by telephoning the surgery.The opening times for repeat prescriptions are changing slightly; they willbe Monday – Friday 9am–12pm and 2pm-4pm. All other general enquires, eg results of tests, collecting prescriptions/letters will be dealtwith at the main desk located in the waiting room. Then we can use the prescription officeas an extra consulting room. These alterations will also give us the opportunity to give amuch needed “make over” to both the reception area and the waiting room. Finally we are looking at updating our telephone system, which should deliver a quicker andmore efficient service to all our patients. The Doctors and staff would like to thank all theirpatients for bearing with us during these changes and we will endeavour to implement themwith as little disruption as possible.

TAILS OF ATAILS OF A
VETERINARY PRACTICEVETERINARY PRACTICElife at Riverside Vets as seen byGavin the practice cat.
Spring seems to be puttingforth its first tentativeshoots and I am pleased to
report that I am once again able to findsome of patches of sun in which to have mymany daily cat naps.With Easter just around the corner I wouldlike to caution all the dog owners out thereto keep their chocolates out of reach of anycanine friends. Chocolate can be very toxicto dogs and as they are often not as discerning as us cats, they will sometimes eattheir humans chocolates at this time of year.
If you are worried that your dog may havemanaged to get into some chocolate then always contact your vet straight away for advice.My vet has been talking to me about my regular flea treatment this month. Apparently, even though I am an indoor cat, I still have to be treated each month as fleascan get in to my home on other animals andeven by hitching a ride on my humansclothes from when they go outside. I havelistened to what they have to say and haveagreed that I will put up with having thetreatment applied as it helps to keep mehealthy and itch free.
Time for a snooze in the sun; more from meagain soon,
Gavin
Letters to theEditor
Dear Margaret the Editor
Your editorial is a little sad this month,. and Iwant to cheer you up by thanking you forwhat you do for us and the excellent Bridge.What a very good cover picture of the Highstreet. Neighbour Roger Underwood deliversour magazine. What you do is worthwhile and much appreciated. The presentation is re-markably good.Many townsfolk advertise and they provide uswith a window into their services.Separately I am sending you short piece frommy wife Ruth’s autograph book.
“ There is so much good in the worst of usAnd so much bad in the best of us,
That it ill-becomes any of usTo talk about the rest of us “.
Ruth and John Williams
Thank you for your cheery words. I hope I sound a bithappier this month! Ed.
Dear Editor,
Thank you for allowing me to be a contributor from time to time even though I shall be leavingBeau Lieu to begin a new life in Southern Ireland. Perhaps I can send tales of a Bewdley womanand her adventures in the land of the shamrock!Leaving the town where I was born and bred is always difficult, even though I’ve left and returned many times. I’m making the most of the wonderful Spring weather and taking in thethriving bird life on the river before I leave.Today a mystery was finally solved concerning the English geese that like to take over the riverbank on Severn Side North opposite where the bandstand used to be. Everyone knowsthat geese can be aggressive and they certainly frightened me as a child. I did think that it wasperhaps something to do with nesting that they came ashore. Today, as I came home from thePost Office, a couple were feeding the geese copious amount of bread on the path. They wereproud to tell me they came twice a week to feed the geese. It’s a shame they don’t linger andsee how many adults and children are afraid to use the path after they’ve gone home.
Alex Austin
Dear BridgeI’ve reported a few times the amount of litteron the B4196 Switchback road by the Bewdley flyover bridge. It would take only afew hours to clean up the road. Also wouldyou think it would be a good idea to have aSpring clean up around Bewdley with an encouragement to shop owners and homeowners to maybe put a lick of paint here and there, and maybe a Bewdley in Bloomcompetition? We have such a beautiful townand think with a little effort from all it wouldlook great this summer.
Mr. A. Langham

Bewdley Local Produce Marketopens for 2012
Following a short winter break, Bewdley’spopular local produce market is now openfor business again in Load Street. Holdingthe Sunday market in its traditional locationhas been well received by local people andvisitors alike, bringing added interest and vibrancy to the town centre. The main focus remains on quality food fromlocal producers, with a number of local craftstalls also proving popular. “ We have had a good response from stall-holders wanting to sign up again this year”
said Peter Miller of Bewdley DevelopmentTrust. “As a result of the positive feedbackfrom traders and customers, we are lookingto develop the range of food and craft stallson offer during the year, with a view to expanding the size of the market”The Grow with Wyre project which ended in March this year, has invested in the marketas part of its programme to support local sustainable rural businesses. It is also part ofa wider initiative in the town to encouragepeople to grow and buy more local food. In support of this aim, a series of trainingdays in Smallholding and other Rural Skills isrunning in 2012, and these are open to people in Bewdley and the surrounding ruralareas of Worcestershire. There are stillsome places available but they are filling fast. For further details please contact BewdleyDevelopment Trust on 01299 405516info@bewdley.org.uk or look on the Townwebsite www.bewdley.org.uk.

Choral EvensongChoral Evensong
The service of Choral Evensong has been sung in churches and forcenturies, using the memorable, dignified words of the Book of Common Prayer.
This summer the lovely country church of St Leonard’s, Ribbesford is thesetting for a celebration of this rich tradition.
This impressive Church has a long history of being a place of prayer. Its traditional English Parish Church appearance and the countryside thatsurrounds it make it a popular place for worship throughout the year.
There will be services on the second Sunday of each month sung by choirsfrom Birmingham, Gloucester and the Wyre Forest, starting on SundayMay13th.
Each service will begin at 4.30pm, last for about forty minutes and will befollowed by refreshments afterwards.
Why not come and experience the peace and beauty of Evensong for yourself?
For readers who haven’t yet seen St Leonard’s, the original church for Bewdley, it iswell worth a visit. Go down the High Street and keep going until just after the bypass bridge. There is an avenue of horse chestnut trees and church is at theend. There is free parking adjacent to the churchyard.
Further information from Rev Keith James (Parish Priest) 01299402275 orDiane Taylor (churchwarden) 01299403983.

“Every day is different”An Interview with Bishop John Inge, Bishop of Worcester
At the end of March Chris Salter was given an exclusive interview with Bishop John whenhe came to visit Bewdley. Hereis his report.
he question of “What does abishop a do?” is certainlysomething I couldn’t haveanswered before last Tuesday.I was fortunate to meetBishop John of Worcester inBewdley last month for aninterview for the Bridge.
Did you know Bishop Johntravels to the Capital mostweeks, gets up at 7am everyday and prays before breakfastin the cathedral?
Bishop John describes his job as “varied and inspirational”, with “No two days being thesame”. Bishop John told me: “I suppose my job wouldn’t appeal to those who didn’t knowwhat it really included. I love meeting new people, seeing new things and helping people in a diverse range of situations”.
Bishop John used to be a chemistry teacher in Kent, describing his choice of career as“important, but not as important as the church” as he later discovered. As a child he livedin Kent with his parents, both farmers who encouraged him to go his own way. Now in2012, Bishop John lives in Worcester with his wife, an American writer, and two daughters.
The Bishop talked me through his experience of trying to drive a combine harvester as achild, where he made “wiggly lines” and knew this wasn’t where his passions lay!
Bishop John’s day to day life is massively varied. For example, on Tuesday of a week back inFebruary, he attended a meeting at the Faith and Order commission in London. The following day, he took to the streets of Worcester, collected prayers from the peopleand took them to the Cathedral where he would pray for each and every one of them.
The Bishop of Worcester also spends time in the hundred or so C of E schools across thediocese, including local high schools such as Wolverley Secondary and St. Catherine’sPrimary in Kidderminster. “When I was teaching, I could say what the next day would entailevery week, but now, every day is a surprise. I’m also interested in music, architecture andhistory”, he said.
Bishop John, in the words of our very own Margaret Ashmore, is an “incredibly interestingman”. As somebody who feels that the “Church is getting too much negative press”, it’scomforting to know that there are such compassionate and inspirational people leading theway. Huge thanks to Bishop John for your time!

We always begin by ringingrounds, in which the bells arerung repeatedly in a descending scale, with a slightpause after every otherchange. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 56 7 8 (pause) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 81 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (pause)Some variety is then introduced by ringing“call changes” in which the conductor shouts instructions at suitable intervals. For example, the conductor may call “6 after 7”so that we change from ringing 12345678 to 12345768 (C B A G F E D C for the musical). This is repeated until the conductor shoutsanother instruction eg “4 after 5”, when wechange from 12345768 to 12354768 or fromC B A G F E D C to C B A F G E D C, whichwe then ring until further instructions aregiven. The length of time between suchinstructions depends on the skill of theringers (and how easy the bells are to ring!).So a typical sequence of changes would be:12345678 6 after 712354768 4 after 713257468 2 after 512345768 4 after 512357468 2 after 313527468 2 after 713572468This final change (known as “Queens”) isconsidered particularly musical, and weusually pause at this point to savour it! Ringing will continue for an appropriate time,by the end of which the conductor will havecalled the bells back into rounds before westop. Mike Robinson

Community News
I have recently met a couple of people who say they feel sorry for Guide Dogs. Their perception is that the dog wears its harness most of the time and is‘stuck’ in the house. The owners I have met certainly do not carefor their dogs in this way. Dogs were bred to work. Dogs want toplease. Dogs love treats, either edible or a toy. No working dogwould ‘work’, despite its training, if unhappy. Guide Dogs are wellfed; their health is of paramount importance; they are ‘wanted’ bytheir owners (some of whom wait a long time for the right match)and are both loved and valued. The association continues to support the owner through the dog’s working life and ensures thedog’s well-being. Owners will free-run their dog regularly and oftenthe dog will be in a family environment, meeting people of all agesand other dogs. I hope this clears up a common misconception. Happily Pippin continues to make good progress. It did take a long time to get into a routine. She walks well on lead; her recall is good and apart from sneaking onto the settee occasionally is ticking the boxes. The 2nd Bewdley Brownies are having a tombola to raise money for Guide Dogs at the endof March, and a street collection will take place in July. Many thanks for all the support so many of you give to the charity.

There’s nothinglike having a go ata craft you havenever tried andproducing some-thing recognisable.I remember the scarf I knitted from a kitbought at a craft shop. Not just an elongatedrectangle, it also had a slit included so thatyou could fasten it securely. I wore it withpride.Sadly my next attempt at knitting (a modesttank top) didn’t get past the casting on stage,and was hurled across the room severaltimes before I donated the wool to a friendwho could both knit and count to seventyfive accurately. I have stuck with cross stitchfor a few years now, and am currently working on a wedding sampler for a friendwho remarried recently. I’m hoping he’s stillmarried when I finish it.In response to a recent Adult Learning sur-vey we carried out, customers indicated thatthey would be interested in art and craftcourses. We’re therefore organising a sixweek ‘Introduction to Craft‘ course, whichwill enable you to have a go at activities suchas printing, card making and producing giftbags and small household items by recyclingeveryday materials.A short course (fee required) could mean awhole new world opening up for you; we arealways keen to try new things at the library, solet’s make this happen. Come and see a member of staff for details.The results of the Adult Learning Survey arecurrently on display in the foyer.

WRIBBENHALLMILLENNIUMGREEN
On Monday 27th February morethan fifty people attended Wribbenhall Community Centre to hear Sarah Lange outline herrecommendations for the Millennium Green, following hermonth-long survey of local opinion.The meeting included local residents, representatives from theTown Council and County Council,and members of Transition BewdleyLand Group.A survey of 212 local households showed 37% of respondents willing to help towards the upkeep of the Green. The most popular idea for making the Green more attractive wasgrowing more flowers, followed by the provision of more benches.he report that Sarah presented was based on the questionnaire results and recommended:establishing raised beds along the empty fence line, together with an ‘adopt a bed’ schemewhereby local households could plant up and maintain their own raised bed; replacing the bottom bench; putting two to six large tree trunks both to act as seats and for small children to climb on; planting a sensory trail of scented and textured plants;forming a litter picking team;planting more fruit and nut trees;building a ‘bug hotel’ to encourage beneficial insects.Local volunteers are being sought for a formal planning group of four to six people, togetherwith a more informal working group of residents willing to adopt a raised bed, pick litter, andplant and prune trees.
For further information on the Millennium Green study, please contact Sarah Lange on Tel: 07958704409 or Email: sarahlange@hotmail.co.uk

TOWN COUNCIL NEWSTOWN COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON 5TH MARCH 2012
Grants to Local Community Organisations
Councillors agreed to make a number of grants (from an increased budget provision) to localorganisations including Community Transport Helpline, Citizens’ Advice Bureau, Bewdley Carnival, Bewdley In Bloom, Bewdley Youth Café and others, all of whom do a great deal ofvoluntary work for the community. It was also agreed to retain a small balance to cover anyfurther applications which might be made in the summer and autumn.
Working with Wyre Forest District Council
The Leader and the Chief Executive of the District Council gave a presentation to the Councillors as to the opportunity that now existed for certain duties and functions to be transferred to the Town Council. This was in the spirit of the localism agenda which encouraged local communities to take on responsibility for local services. It was agreed thebest way forward was to arrange a public meeting later in the year to get the views of localpeople as to what they felt should be a priority for any transfer and at what cost.
Road Humps Queensway Estate
Councillors heard from members of the public who wished to challenge the legality of thespeed humps on the Queensway Estate not least because the effect of vehicles going overthem was causing damage to the Riddings Brook culvert which ran close to Queensway andalso damage to vehicles including buses. The Town Clerk is to take up the issue with the localCounty Councillor.
Bewdley Medical Centre
Concern was expressed by Councillors at the news as to the possible relocation of the Medical Centre to Wribbenhall next to All Saints Church. The adverse effect on footfall andtrade in the town centre was a serious matter which the Town Council would strenuouslywish to avoid.

More from Gary
Since I got the short straw this month and had the typesetting job, Idecided I also got to choose what we made room for.
When Gary sent in his pictures for the month, he sent extras that I couldn’t bear to leave out. I hope you’ll bear with me as I put in
an extra page of his wonderful Spring photos. Margaret
“Margaret asked me where Itook the less obvious of thismonth’s spring images, but tobe honest, I can’t always re-member.I will say that they are all withinthe Wyre Forest. If we haven't got it here, thenI’m not interested.”
