Who’s for the Game?’ tells the story of the men from four prominent Birmingham sports clubs who lost their lives in the First World War. The four memorials to the men are within a mile of each other and for a time three of them were located at Moseley Ashfield Cricket Club. The story of the men is peppered across almost all the battle fronts of the War. Jessie Pope’s poem, which gives the book its title, is now seen as jingoistic, but these men were anything but blinded by propaganda. They died as they played, giving everything for their team.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Author Donald McDonald supping a pint at his local, the .arms, with two framed posters of his novels: A Village Tale and 9/12 Another Day.

The .arms in Kirkby-on-Bain dates back to at least the 16th century and was frequented by WWII pilots stationed in Lincolnshire – the bar area has beams embedded with coins, said to have been put there by RAF personnel during the last war to ensure they had beer money when they returned from their missions!

Black History Month: 'Standing Firm in Power and Pride'; a tribute to resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress.

‘Proud to Serve’ chronicles the journey of one police officer between 1999 and 2004 as he worked with key community influencers and colleagues to tackle the challenges of policing diverse communities. Whether working to recruit more black and minority ethnic staff into the West Midlands Police, engaging with counterparts in India and the UK to tackle ‘Forced Marriages’ or simply making communities safer in Cyprus, this illustrated book straddles continents as that journey unfolds.

‘Proud to Serve’ contains various recollections, including from Paul Lewin, founding chair of the West Midlands Black Police Association, who said of his work, ‘Our legacy has been about learning from the past, living in the present in order to build and improve for the future. I am proud that we did our best. Ultimately, this will be for others to judge’.

Stories Behind The Headlines: From roving reporter to Land Rover PR chief by Colin Walkey
Price: £9.95
Publisher: Brewin Books
ISBN: 9781858587875

The first reporter to race to Britain’s worst hotel fire. The dramatic trial of a priest-turned-IRA commander. Two murders in one day. These were just some of the stories Colin Walkey covered as an evening newspaper reporter in Cambridge and Coventry.

In Stories Behind the Headlines Colin Walkey tells how reporters discovered stories, and some that never got published. Later, working in PR at Austin Rover, he reveals what really happened behind front page headlines about strikes at Longbridge, and the failed takeover of Austin Rover by Ford.

As PR chief at Land Rover for a decade, he tells untold stories behind the takeovers of Land Rover by British Aerospace and BMW; and the international Press launches of the Land Rover Discovery, and new Range Rover in 1994.

Walkey discloses how he created a Land Rover adventure for journalists to follow the trail of Hannibal and his elephants over the Alps more than 2,000 years ago. And an arduous expedition to part of the world that no living person had ever explored…

Teme Over Time: A History of Worcestershire’s Teme Valley by Stephanie Mocroft

Price: £15.95
Publisher: Brewin Books
ISBN: 9781858587868

How the county of Worcestershire came to acquire a slice of the Welsh Marches has never been explained, but Worcestershire’s Teme Valley is certainly a place where England meets Wales. This tranquil backwater once rang to the boisterous humour of the Black Country when September drew thousands of fresh-air-seeking factory workers to “holiday” in its hopyards. As those memories fade, it is time to commend the peace and beauty of the region to a new generation of admirers.

Teme Over Time is a generously illustrated celebration of the landscape and history of Worcestershire’s unique valley, an area which keeps, to this day, an impression of being a little lost in time.
