Hi there. Please can you also add the Shree Geeta Bhawan Hindu Temple to the Faith section? This is the first Hindu temple opened in the midlands and has been there since 1969. It was originally the St George’s Presbyterian Church. Have a look at the wikipedia page I have created for the temple too. Just search for Shree Geeta Bhawan in Wikipedia.

I have recently been given, (as an item for a Tombola Stall) an unused Rolled Gold Propelling Pencil still in it’s box and complete with instructions. These show that the pencil was manufactured by:-
W.H. Collins & Co Ltd.,
Excelda Works,
Rookery Road,
Birmingham 21
As i feel that this is too valuable for a tombola stall, I started looking on the Internet, starting with Excelda Works and immediately came to the Hands on Handsworth page. Hope you find this helpful.

The Uplands Allotment are owned by Birmingham City Council but there is a commitee of local people involved probably best to go along there on a Saturday morning to contact someone.

Hey,
I was wondering if you could possibly help me. I work for a charity called SOVA. SOVA is a leading national volunteer mentoring organization working with those socially and economically disadvantaged in England and Wales. I work as a Mentoring Support Officer and I would like to know if you have any volunteering roles available with Uplands Allotments. I have tried to contact the direct number; however I am having difficulty speaking to some one. You can contact me on 0781 1357 385.

Kind Regards

Imran Rasool. ( MSO )
