1. Flex-ability Class, Monday 5th
November
Karen, who has been running
the daytime ‘Flex-ability’ class at the Village Hall for the past few years, is
starting an evening class on Monday 5th November to open it up to others who
find mornings inconvenient. It will be on Monday evenings but she wants to get
the collective best time. So, if you are interested, get in touch with your
preferred time, as soon as possible, please. You can contact Karen via her
website www.k-fit.biz or 07954 544595 (call
or text).
Please check the Village Hall noticeboard or the online
noticeboard at www.birlingham.org/noticeboard/
for the start time.
For those not aware, ‘Flex-ability’ is Posture
Alignment Therapy; the health benefits for all are many, and further details can
be found on her
website.

2. Changes to Bin
Collections
The days on which
recycling and refuse collections are made changed on 15th October (at very short
notice). In future, bin collections in Birlingham will now be made on Tuesdays.
Brown bins will now be collected on the same day as green bins. The revised bin
collection calendar for Birlingham can be viewed at http://www.birlingham.org/docs/bin_collections_2018_oct.jpg.
You
can now also recycle household batteries, textiles and small electrical items by
placing them out on the same day as the black bin collection. The reason
for recycling these items on the black bin week is to avoid any potential
confusion with items that are recycled via the green bin.
- Please ensure batteries are placed in a small clear tied bag (e.g. a
sandwich bag or clear used bread bag) and put on top of the black bin.
- Textiles (such as trousers, skirts, jumpers, t-shirts, bed sheets and
towels) must be placed in a carrier bag (to keep them clean and dry) at the
side of the black bin. Stuffed items, such as pillows and duvets, cannot be
recycled. However, you should, of course, donate any good quality clothing or
textiles to charity shops.
- Small electrical items (toasters, hairdryers, kettles etc.) can be placed
on top of the black bin.
