It has been noted that there is an increased amount of litter along our lanes and open spaces, which will become more noticeable as the vegetation dies back for winter.

If you like living in a grot free village, please join on Saturday 10th September as we tackle the litter that has accumulated in Fairfield & Stoneybridge. Meet at the Village Hall 10.30am, wear suitable clothing and footwear. IF WE ALL GAVE ONE HOUR OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BE GROT FREE.

The launch of Foodie Fairfield on Saturday 3rd September was a success, huge thanks to all local food producers, BRMG Radio and to all our customers & supporters. We look forward to seeing you next month (1st Sat. of each month) and we are aiming to keep Foodie Fairfield “fresh” with some additional stalls.

There have been some positive comments on social media:

• ‘The food and drink we purchased today are delicious and great quality’,
• ‘Very good thanks to all organisers and contributors’
• ‘Great visit to Fairfield Food Fest today – wonderful bread – fresh veg and of course cake!!!!’
• [the sourdough] ‘it really is yummy’

If you have any suggestions or would like to get involved, email admin@fvca.org.uk

Fairfield Village Community Association is launching a new food market – Foodie Fairfield – to provide an opportunity for people in the Bromsgrove area to buy good quality local produce direct from the producers.

The stalls at Foodie Fairfield will show just how much great food is produced in or around the Bromsgrove area.  There will be a wide range of locally-sourced bread, meat, cheese, eggs, vegetables and fruit along with a host of other items such as savoury pies, cider, fruit juices, honey, jams, cakes, and many other goodies.

A spokesperson for the Association said that local people are keen support local small businesses.  Foodie Fairfield will help those people to reduce their food-miles by enabling them to buy food from local farmers and artisans.

Foodie Fairfield will be held in Fairfield Village Hall on the first Saturday morning of each month.  The first event will be on Saturday, 3rd September.  The event will be held in Fairfield Village Hall and the doors will be open from 9 o’clock until noon.  There is ample, free parking behind the hall so buyers will not have to struggle carrying their purchases a long distance.

Further details about Foodie Fairfield can be found on the village website (www.fvca.org.uk) or on our Facebook page.

We need three residents of Fairfield, Wilmoor & Stoneybridge to join the committee, meeting approximately 5 times a year, each meeting usually lasting an hour, in the evening at the pub.  Your role will be to help provide the required checks on the Chairman & Treasurer, to act as a sounding board, put forward suggestions and represent the views of the community.

The Association has done a lot of good work in the community, whether it is organising events, keeping our village tidy, coordinating Neighbourhood Watch, SmartWater rollout and lobbying for improvements. Please do give five hours a year for where you live.  If you can help email chair@fvca.org.uk
