Barn dance: 14 November at the Edward Marsh Centre. Hosted by the Irrepressible Eve, this will be a fun-packed evening. We will also have a stall at the High Street Christmas event on 29 November - so come along and say hello. Planning ahead to 2027 has already begun, when we will be celebrating 40 years of twinning with Mer, and we will be hosting our French visitors during the Easter break. We hope to make a very special year to celebrate this special anniversary. If anyone would like more information on Kinver Twinning Association, please contact us at Kinvertwinning@gmail.com  

In May we will be halfway through our four-year term representing you as South Staffordshire District Councillors. Since being elected we have held 21 surgeries across the ward and have helped many people with a wide variety of problems. We will continue to hold surgeries on the third Saturday of every month between 10 am and 12 pm at Kinver Community Library. Our next surgeries are on 15March, 19 April and 17 May. If you have an issue that we might be able to help with please pop along or you can contact us by emails.dufty@sstaffs.gov.uk, p.harrison@sstaffs.gov.uk and g.spruce@sstaffs.gov.uk
