A big effort is to be made next week to clear off the debt on Holy Trinity parish hall, by a bazaar which will be held on Wednesday and Thursday. The committee have been fortunate in securing the Dean of Worcester to open it on the first day and Mrs Anthony Deane, who has close associations with the parish where she is still kindly remembered, on the second. Steps are being taken to run the bazaar on unconventional lines, and a number of sideshows are being promoted.

Recent renovations at the Territorial Army centre in Cromwell Road, Malvern Link, have transformed it into one of the finest in the whole of the Midlands. Alongside a new car park, new buildings include a garage large enough to hold two vehicles, a three-ton and a one-ton truck, with a servicing pit and workbench, and a well-heated miniature rifle range. At the rifle range, it is proposed every second Thursday to invite wives or girl friends of personnel to try their hand at shooting.

After a spate of small fires at Malvern's Dyson Perrins School, a special assembly has been held at which pupils were warned of the danger and asked to turn out their pockets in a bid to trace the culprit. And staff now think the incidents, none of which required the attendance of the fire brigade, will cease. Deputy head Mr Peter Buchanan said that following one or two hints, he thought the fires would soon come to an end.
