Also, while this street is narrow, there are also speed humps, which if there are large caravans or carnival equipment potentially to come down this road I believe the access is simply too narrow to allow this much traffic. It is a very busy road as it is at the moment and I think further development down this road would cause an increase in traffic collisions. There would be a high risk of flooding where the proposed site will be located. There are pools located by the site and would have to be removed, this area is a very 'boggy' area and holds the habitat to many wildlife.

  • SATURDAY 31St OCTOBER Buildbase FA Trophy Rushall Olympic (A)
    Good evening and a very warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Rushall Olympic, we do hope you enjoy your short stay with us before having a safe journey home. Rushall have made a solid start to this season’s campaign suffering only one defeat in their first 7 league games. A competitive club that are always in and around the playoffs, they will be looking to continue that form. Managed by former Barwell players, Liam Macdonald and Nick Green, they will have done their homework on us, so as ever we will be expecting a tough encounter. A well run club from top to bottom and in their second year with an artificial pitch the club is a good role model for non-league football. Both clubs know that this encounter between us will take place again at Rushall on Saturday in the Buildbase FA Trophy, it’s ironic how these consecutive fixtures seem to happen. We finally got our first win against Nuneaton Borough, which has brought a lot of relief to all connected with the club. I’m sure that will bring a lot of confidence, let’s hope we can kick on from here and get back into the mix on the league front. Finally for tonight, I’m pleased to announce that Jason Ashby owner of UK Flooring Direct has agreed to extend his sponsorship for a further 3 years with the club. He has also made a five figure donation to our fundraising effort for our 3G pitch project. If you read this Jason, all of us at Barwell thank you for your commitment once again and wish you, your family and your business all the best for the future.

  • Club History
    BOLDMERE ST MICHAELS FOOTBALL CLUB CLUB HISTORY The Mikes were founded in 1883 as a Youth football team attached to the local church Bible class. They played friendly matches against other local church teams until 1912. Eventually, the desire for competitive football became evident so the teams entered a local league. As the years passed, the boys wanted to continue playing football together so moved into open age football. After progressing through several minor local the club entered the Birmingham & District Amateur League. In 1920-21 season was successful with the capture of the Aston Villa Cup, The Birmingham Shield and the Cadbury Cup. However a split in the club occurred and a team called `Boldmere` was formed to play elsewhere. Several seasons later the two teams reformed and adopted black and white colours for their playing kit in 1925. Either side of the Second World War, Boldmere was amongst the leading amateur clubs in the country and immediately after winning the Birmingham & District Amateur League Championship, the club entered the Central Amateur League for the 1937-38 season, finishing 8th out of twelve teams. The following season saw an improvement to 5th place. In Easter 1939 Boldmere ventured into Europe to play in the Verviers Tournament in Belgium. Under the captaincy of legendary Captain Harold Spencer, The Mikes triumphed and returned with the trophy to be greeted by the Lord Mayor at Birmingham New Street Station. However before a ball was kicked in the 1939-40 season, footballing activities ceased as War broke out on 3rd September 1939. With hostilities over, Boldmere marked the return to normality by taking the opening post-war Central Amateur League Championship on goal average from Coventry Amateurs.

  • Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This Appendix
    Appendix 2: Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This appendix provides an overview of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Areas (HECAs) which fall within Lichfield District. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within each of the documents is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Heritage Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council February 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 2a Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential impact of medium to large scale development upon the historic environment. The character area covers 5,645ha lies wholly within Lichfield District boundary and to the west of Tamworth. Archaeological and Historic Documentation Archaeological work within the character area has tended to concentrate along the A5 and the M6 (Toll) roads. The information on this character area mostly comes from the HER data, whilst VCH has covered part of the area. Historic Environment Assets Summary The current understanding on the later prehistoric landscape of the character area suggests that it had mostly been heavily wooded until Bronze Age, when some clearance may have begun to take place to support a small scale pastoral economy. The earliest evidence for human activity from the character area dates to the Mesolithic period; however, this comes from flint artefacts and probably represents the presence of mobile hunting groups and transitory occupation.

Last Saturday we played Halstead in the FA Cup, a match which we were obviously expected to win. Sometimes that’s a no-win situation unless you win the game very convincingly. We got off to a bright start and could have been more than 3 goals up at half-time, and although the 2nd half didn’t start how the 1st finished we picked up the pace and shifted the ball Club Officials: very well to end the game very much in control with a real positive feeling amongst the lads. Myself and Darren can’t fault the lads in the way they are progressing and taking on new ideas. This puts us in a really positive position coming into this game. Unfortunately, we lose Matty Richardson, who is moving to America to continue his studies, but we are confident that the squad numbers will soon be back to where they were, so watch this space. Let’s hope come 4.45pm on Saturday we are off the mark as the buzz around the ground is fantastic at the moment and the fans and committee deserve some positivity.

Goals are being scored and Honorary President chances that were wasted over the previous two seasons are finding the net.
