Another boost for fitness in Abbots Bromley
When the survey for the Abbots Bromley village action plan was carried out, there were requests for exercise/fitness classes to be held in the village.
With the start of new exercises classes on Friday mornings in the village hall, those living in the Abbots Bromley area have more choice than ever. The new classes will be run by Alison Jones and cater for different ability levels.
These new classes will complement the existing fitness sessions already run by Barrie Taylor on Monday evenings and Tuesday afternoons in the village hall.
Abbots Bromley news feed now available
An August 2006 update to the welcome page on the Abbots Bromley village web site has seen the addition of two new features.
Firstly, the local news items, previously not very obvious on these pages, have now been brought onto the front page. The five most recently updated news items are summarised on the right of the screen with links to the full text of each of the news items.
Secondly, an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed of the news items is now available allowing those who use feed readers to consolidate local news from Abbots Bromley into their daily reading. The icon on the top of the news panel provides the link required for your reader. RSS is an increasingly popular way of keeping track of changes across many different web sites without having to keep visiting them. There are many free RSS readers that can be downloaded and used to organise multiple feeds. Also, the new version 7 of Microsoft Explorer will include an RSS reading capability.

2006 Best Kept Village Competition Results
Although not repeating the outright win of 2005, Abbots Bromley has been judged second in the large village section of East Staffordshire.
The best large village, and overall best kept village in East Staffordshire, was Barton Under Needwood. Barton will become the new home for the trophy totem that has been on our village green for the last year.
Congratulations are also due our neighbouring village of Newborough which was judged the best kept small village in East Staffordshire.
