Welcome to Dawley Bank Horticultural Show 2011.
DBHS would like to thank the family of Mrs May Adams for their kind donation of a Rose Bowl Trophy for the Cookery section. The Rose Bowl is a lasting tribute to May and her contribution to the Dawley Bank community over many decades. May loved Dawley Bank and Dawley Bank loved May.
It has been a turbulent year; severe frosts and snowfall followed by
exceptionally warm spring and wet June. Gardeners opinions are
divided as to the extent of weather effect reporting that legumes and brassicas seem unaffected with the hard fruits being slow to ripen.
Everything in the garden may look coincidental but remember nature has a powerful plan all of her own and it is best respected; with hard won experience the canny gardener can achieve stunning results.
Growing your own vegetables is an amazing experience, the process is almost magical, in a few short months seeds from a packet or plants from the green house are transformed into food on your plate– read more about the benefits of growing your own in our allotment update.
‘Never underestimate the vestigial charm of dead stems and seed heads the Jerusalem sage in winter is the epitome of shabby chic.’
DBHS is an open show rules are kept to a minimum usually apply to size of exhibits because of limited space; all age groups and abilities are warmly welcomed the emphasis on fun and participation.
The Pet Show will be held on field at rear of Queens Arms, Gerald will be bringing his pal the great white cockatiel. We are pleased to be sharing the day with The Bank Community Group Dawley Bank Day celebrations so look out for the antics of Percy the Play Bus and a
balloon modelling stilt walker!
Good Luck
Carol

DBHS would like to acknowledge the lifelong commitment of Elsie Hayward to Dawley Chrysanthemum Society. Elsie was a founder member of the society she lived to be 93 years old and left a gardening legacy to the people of Dawley.
Over the last year DBHS members have attended many community events running games stalls and making floral willow chaplets to raise funds for our annual Horticultural Show and pet show; Wellington Christmas Lanterns, Dawley Lanterns, Granville Trust , Albrighton Trust, Wellington Midsummer Fair, Hadley Fun Day, Hollinswood Fun Day, Madeley Orchard, Environmental and Archaeology Day. DBHS has also been involved with clearing Old park Primary School pond. The pond had become stagnant all wild life had left for brighter more environmentally friendly climes. Work will resume after school summer holidays when the remaining clay will be removed and the pond liner cleaned.

The application has finally been submitted there is wait of 20 weeks for the outcome which should be any day now!!!

The Dreaded Tootsie-Kana
by Spike Milligan
When the Tootsie-Kana comes,
Hide yourself behind your thumbs;
Tie a dustbin on your head
Stay indoors; go to bed
When the Tootsie-Kana goes,
Peel and apple with your toes;
Buy a sausage ; paint it red—
Tootsie-Kana falls down dead.

Eldest
by Christopher Paolini
At first Eragon thought it a
Lethrblaka, one of the Ra’zac’s mounts. Then a ray of light escaped the clouds and struck the figure crossways from the west.
A red dragon floated above them, glowing and sparkling in the sunbeam like a bed of blood-red coals. His wing membranes were the colour of wine held before a lantern. His claws and teeth and the spikes along his spine were white as snow. In his
vermilion eyes there gleamed a
terrible glee.

Project Linus UK – A Hug in a Blanket
“Give someone a hug today. There isn’t enough love in the world.”
These were the poignant but inspiring words of the mother of murdered teenager Jimmy Mizen. We cannot reach out to every distressed child but we can help to provide them with tangible evidence that someone cares, along with the physical reassurance that comes with being snuggled up in a quilt and the lift to the spirit from the bright colours and cheerful patterns sewn into it.
Project Linus are a 100% volunteer organisation whose aims are: To provide a sense of security and comfort to sick and traumatised babies, children and teenagers through the provision of new home made patchwork quilts and knitted/ crocheted blankets; To give an opportunity for needlewomen across to UK to contribute to their local community.
Project Linus started in the UK in March 2000 as a result of a quilter’s desire to help children in need. It has now spread to cover most of the UK. To date we have delivered over 116,000 quilts and blankets. We always try to get the blankets delivered to children who are local to the makers.
In Telford and Wrekin, during the first six months of 2011, eight quilts have been given to children at the Refuge, eight to the Children’s Ward at the Princess Royal Hospital and thirty-two to Social Services for foster children. These forty-eight quilts have been made and donated by local quilters. They will never know the child that received their quilt.
A number of Quilt Making Days takes place during the year, materials and support are available. Would you like to join us? Project Linus appreciates all the work that goes into producing the quilts.
Donations or sponsorship towards the cost of cotton fabric and wadding, mileage, stationery and postage are always welcome.
To contribute in any way please contact the local Co-odinators; Heather Russell Tel: 01952 404 565 or Jan Williams Tel: 01952 504 908 For further information see the web site at www.projectlinusuk.org.uk
