FRENCH SCOUTS AT BADSEY – Resistance Leaders among them

The strong bonds of friendship which already exist between Britain and France were further strengthened last week by the visit to Badsey of a party of French Scouts.  They were visiting the area as the guests of the 5th Evesham (1st Badsey) Group, who are in camp at Old Post Office Lane.

They came from Verdun and, known as Troupe Monjoy College Buvignier, are linked with the Badsey Troop through Scout Headquarters in London.

ALDINGTON – The year 1892 will be remembered as producing one of the lightest crops of hay on record, and we must go back as far as 1874 to find a season equally deficient.  The quality, however, is particularly good, and most of it was got together without much damage from rain.  Wheat, though short in the straw and in places thin on the ground, is likely to yield well, and will give a much better result both in quantity and quality than last year.
