This was compiled for the quiz for the sell out and successful Village in Bloom’s Bloomin’ Good Night last week. A bit of fun, and a way to test your knowledge of Acocks Green. It got people pondering long and hard. When we walk down the road we often don’t look up at shop signs. How many can you recognise?!
Village in Bloom team are putting on a fun evening of food, live music and light-hearted quiz. Also a chance to win some great raffle prizes. So support our village and get your ticket before they sell out! Everyone is very welcome.
The venue is local club The Pickle, just by Acocks Green train station carpark.

Lots of people were saddened to see the closure of our local Adult Education Centre in the summer.
Disability Resource Centre is a long established Birmingham charity who has plans to work in partnership with other Acocks Green–based organisations to explore the opportunity of acquiring the former Birmingham City Council–owned Adult Education Centre for the benefit of the community.
As part of this work, they are running a short community survey to gather local views and help shape future plans for the building. Please be part of this feedback which will help to support a really positive outcome for this grand old building in our village.
There are two versions of the form to choose from, whichever works best for you.

Come along and support Acocks Green Village in Bloom and Acocks Green Lions. Live Music and an array of stalls. And Christmas Lights for the first time in Acocks Green for a while!
Come along and help tidy our lovely local waterway! The Canal Trust will be there to support us. New volunteers always welcome and you can just stay an hour.
If you can spare an hour, come along with your spade/trowel, (or you can borrow one), and do something positive for The Green.
With all the rain the ground will be soft and make our job easier. Forecast looks better for the weekend. We have lots of bulbs to plant!
Community Updates – Why not come along and find out more?
Note Corrected date.

Village in Bloom have applied for funding to brighten up the Village this winter with some Festive Lights. They will be along the main canopy and on the lamp posts. Plans are being made at the moment but the aim is to have the lights switched on on Saturday 6th December. They are hoping to work with other organisations and individuals to have stalls, entertainment and a visit from Santa Claus!
To make it a success they need local people to help cover the costs, can you help?
Donate HERE if you would like to support the fund.
The much-appreciated calendar needs local people’s photographs. Don’t forget that it has to be identifiable as our area.
