🚜🚜Tractor Fans this one's for you!

There are over 240 tractors of various marques (some static) heading to at Onslow Park this August bank holiday!

Those of you who can interpret 'three Doe-Triple D Majors' and the like, are in for a treat this year - Working Field Secretary Martin Lane has made sure there will be a fabulous display of pre-1940 and post-1940 tractors to the event at Onslow Park with a chance to see some of them in action in the field.

Bingo and music will collide at a charity fundraiser being held by Shrewsbury-based Lanyon Bowdler in September!

The Musical Bingo night on September 23 is guaranteed to get people in the mood for dancing as they mark off the song titles on their bingo card as the hits are played.

Belmont Hall in Wellington will stage the event, the host will be Andy J Wilson - a seasoned stand-up comedian who has a background in the London and Edinburgh comedy circuit, and the evening will raise funds for Belmont Hall and the We Are Farming Minds charity.

Tickets cost £6 per person and people can go along as individuals or as groups of family or friends. A range of prizes will be available to win on the night and people can sign up to take part by emailing [email protected] or calling (01743) 280281.

Nearly 400,000 British-grown sunflowers have been offered to Lingen Davies Cancer Support as part of its £5 million Sunflower Appeal 🌻

Lingen Davies was invited by Shropshire Festivals and Shropshire Petals to collect as many sunflowers as needed from the colourful fields at Shropshire Petal Fields - which is now closed until 2026.

The sunflower invitation was arranged by Dave Reynolds, who is training to run the London Marathon in 2026. He's pledged to raise over £2,000 in thanks for the cancer care his father-in-law received at the Lingen Davies Centre at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

The Market Hall Shrewsbury is appealing to members of the public for their memories and old photos of the iconic building, to be part of an exhibition celebrating its 60th anniversary this September 🖼

The post-modernist market hall opened on September 16th, 1965, replacing a 100-year-old Victorian Market Hall that had been denounced as unhygienic and in a poor state of repair.

Love or hate the 60s architecture - it's an important part of town life 💚

If you have a photo, picture or story that you think could be a part of the exhibition, email Amy Williams at [email protected].
