Kinver Scouts Fundraising Event
A fundraising event in aid of Kinver Scouts takes place on Saturday, April 19, from 10.00am to 4.30pm, at the Marsh Playing Fields, off High Street.
Children (of all ages!) will have the chance to take a train ride on 3.5 inch and 5 inch gauge scale models of steam and diesel locomotives built by members of the Kinver and West Midlands Society of Model Engineers. Each ride costs £1.00 and all proceeds will be donated to Kinver Scout Camp, which is raising funds for toilet facilities for children with disabilities and special needs.
The event is being organised by Mr John Raybould to commemorate services to the Scout Association by his father, Mr Alfred Raybould (1902-1960), who lived in Ladysmith Road, Cradley Heath, and was an assistant scoutmaster with the 1st Cradley Scouts.
In 1930/31 Alfred Raybould was one of the Midlands’ first recipients of the Gilwell Park Wood Badge, which is awarded for leadership skills. The two wooden beads, leather woggle and neckerchief which make up his much-prized award have been loaned to Kinver Scout Camp by the Raybould family and are on display at the scout training camp at The Compa, Kinver.
If you require any further information about the event, please contact John Raybould on 01384 866779.
Is this the new way to view property?
Advanced 2021 Media is a company specialising in the creation of streaming video for companies and individuals around the West Midlands. Although web video has been around for a long time (we've all heard of YouTube), 2021 have pioneered a way in which the technology can be used to help sell property and reduce carbon footprint in one go.
Many people who go to view houses have very little intention of actually putting an offer in (9 out of 10 views result in no action), yet the vendor still has to put up with the inconvenience, sometimes taking time off work to let people in to look around.
But the other aspect is the environment. Advantage West Midlands said that this technology was a positive way to reduce wasted journeys and should revolutionise the property marketplace.
As the property market becomes more volatile, vendors are looking at more ways of marketing their homes and this technology means they can attract thousands of viewers from all over the country, without having to clean the carpet every day!

~Kinver Tandoori - Still Open!
One of the most popular restaurants in the village, The Kinver International Tandoori, is currently having a major face-lift which has led some people to believe that it's currently shut, but it's not!
Although the doors will be shut for a few days in the week whilst a new carpet is fitted and some of the more major changes are made, the owners are keen to let people know that the restaurant will remain largely open and serving both take-away and eat-in meals.
To order your take out or make a reservation, call them on 01384 877448
