No Chelmund's Day this year

ONE of the most popular family events in North Solihull will not go ahead this year after organisers were unable to get the funding together in time.
Chelmund's Day started as a celebration of the Anglo Saxon from whose name Chelmsley Wood is said to be derived.
The event, held each July, has become a firm favourite, but it was confirmed earlier this month that there wasn't "sufficient funding" in place for the 2019 celebration.
In a post via the official Twitter account, the Chelmund's team said: "We are very sorry about this but plans are afoot to make 2020-2021 a BIG one!
"Apologies to everyone and stay alert, Chelmund will still be around during July!"
Previous events have included a mix of historical re-enactments, stalls and live music, with strong support from various local groups.
Interest in the area's Dark Age past has been reignited in recent years, with a successful campaign by residents to have the former Craig Croft shopping area rechristened Chelmund's Cross back in 2013.
