Very pleased to be invited by the Calthorpe Residents’ Society to show our display and hear a presentation by Sir David Eastwood, Vice -Chancellor of the University of Birmingham, on the “Role of a Global University”.
Lots of interest in our project, an opportunity to explain and thank Sir David for the valuable contribution made by students of Birmingham University. Projects were completed by Marketing Management and Civil Engineering Students. Last year also excellent support by the University Conservation Volunteers who together with Archeology students investigated the lift bridge foundations. Busy also with litter picking and delivery of leaflets.
Particular help from Lawrence who has greatly improved our Facebook reach from between 700 to 1500, by 10 times with a peak of 37,000. Lawrence continues to help despite working in Canada for one year. ... See more

Scrub Bash by Leasowes Park. We are looking for volunteers this Saturday the 16th of November to join Peter Fisher to help with clearing scrub grown over the summer along the route of the canal in Leasowes Park. Meet at the Leasowes Car Park (B62 8DH) at 10am till 12 or 1pm or at the site where the canal narrows just off Westdean Close (B62 8UA). Work involves cutting back brambles, saplings and tree growth. Work is in the bed of the canal so may be wet with a few inches/10cm of water in places.
Please bring tools for the type of work expected especially garden gloves. ... See more

Despite the rather gloomy weather we had a very good day out for people with disabilities and their carers from SENSE. A chance to enjoy the autumn colours. For the first time a visit to the BBC Visitors Centre at the Mailbox to see Dr Who props and Peaky Blinders. This was followed by a visit to the top of the Cube to see the views. ... See more

Thanks to SENSE for hosting our AGM in their smart new building in Selly Oak. Thanks to all those who attended. The minutes of last year’s meeting were approved. Andrew, our Chair, reviewed the achievements of the past year; Tony gave his financial report on a successful year and the accounts were approved. All the existing officials were re-elected. Hugh showed pictures of activities over the last 6 months, including new slides showing the restored canal as a tourist attraction. Tony was very pleased to receive a question on the importance of early filing of the accounts; the 2018 accounts were submitted to the charity commission web site on the 8th of January (Is this a record?!). A detailed review of the meeting will appear in the Winter edition of our Lapal Link Newsletter due to be printed in December and available on our website. ... See more
