A drone is a piece of technology that flies in the air and you operate it from a remote controller. These days, as technology has progressed, it is unusual to find a drone without an inbuilt camera of some sort. Drones are getting cheaper and better, meaning they can almost fly themselves with intelligent flight functions such as ‘follow me’ and ‘return to home’ modes, making flying much easier. Drones have in the past been misused meaning regulations apply to owning one. You must have a licence to fly a drone and can only fly one under 250g in confined spaces which is what we had to do to take these pictures! Thanks to Julian and Challis Stokes for letting me take this photo from their garden to get this view of the church which has never been seen before. Cillian Rogers 2 Welcome to another bumper edition of The Parishioner! In this issue we’re pleased to include pieces by two younger members of our parish. The photo on the front page was taken by Cillian Rogers using his drone, and he has written about it on page 2. We have also started a new feature, Lisa’s Book Nook, with book reviews by Lisa North, starting with historical fiction. If anyone tries any of her recommendations, we’d be pleased to hear from you at [email protected]. We hope that articles by and for the younger members of our community will become a more regular occurrence, enabling The Parishioner to welcome a wider range of contributions as highlighted in the recent Community Hub Survey. We are always delighted to receive articles/creative writing from our readers (of all ages!), and wish we had more space. Of course we have to prioritise seasonal items, and other pieces will be saved for future editions, so if your articles can’t be fitted in straight away, don’t let that put you off. We also love to receive photos so if you are doing something interesting in the parish, take your camera along!

Come and browse, make an offer for the thing you can’t live without and then enjoy a delicious afternoon tea in the Gallery Cafe. Flanders & Swann come to Yarpole! 7pm, Saturday 13 November in St Leonard's If you're looking for a great night out, we've got a terrific show coming to St Leonard's with pianist, singer and actor Michael Lunts. He has performed for us before, and many people asked if we could book him again, so here he is! This time he's performing songs from the fabulous Flanders & Swann, together with poems by John Betjeman. Wallow (along with that hippopotamus!) in some gentle nostalgia and hum along to those familiar songs. Not to be missed! There will be more information, including how to book tickets, in the next Parishioner. Proceeds to St Leonard’s Management.

Assuming the government allows us, Art Society Teme Valley lectures will be back in Ludlow Assembly Rooms on the third Wednesday of the month, starting on 15 September. We have room for social distancing in the auditorium, but hope that most people will have had two vaccines and will not want to be separated. The high quality lectures from nationally recognised lecturers begin at 2.15pm. Lecturers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their subject. The subjects are all related to the arts. The Arts Society Teme Valley adheres to the creed of the national Arts Society that “art is for everyone.” Subjects in the 2021-22 programme range from the modernist artist Paul Nash, to blue pigment used in Morocco. Members and past visitors will come along safe in the assumption that they will have an entertaining and enlightening afternoon. If you have not been to an Arts Society lecture before, I urge you to take the plunge and give it a try. Visitors are welcome paying £8 on the door. There is a social opportunity after the lecture, over cakes and tea or coffee.
