CPRE on Broadway. . .

........ Well, on Broadway village green, at any rate.This was the first time for nine years that we had participated in a local show, and it came about at short notice thanks to an invitation from the chairman of the local Agricultural and Crafts Society, John Keylock.

Frank Hill and Ray Ellis organised and transported the tent and displays and 'manned the fort' on what turned out to be a fine day in September.The support of wives, and some help with the interviewing by David Willour, helped to ensure

that the thirty or so interested passers-by received a good background to our history and objectives. An unexpected feature of the event was the high proportion of visitors from outside Worcestershire or Gloucestershire, including Wales, Scotland, Holland and USA. Nevertheless, several new members were gained and one even gave a £20 contribution.

We are intending to take our tent and displays to other local shows around Worcestershire next year.
