Not so if you go along to Encore, the exclusive nearly new boutique in Moseley village. This is a place where not only can you find amazing bargains but you can also take along those forgotten clothes at the back of your wardrobe and turn them into spending money.You would hardly guess you are in a second hand clothes store until you see the prices, there are hidden treasures waiting there for everyone.

Set over two floors Encore has a fine choice of top labels and good high street brands for both women and men, including Dolce & Gabanna, Karen Millen, Prada, Ghost, Ralph Lauren, Armani, and Missoni. And they have a stunning array of accessories including shoes, handbags and jewellery.

You can find formal wear, work wear, party clothes and casual attire. All without facing the crowds in the city centre.

Encore is on Alcester Road, close to the main crossroads in Moseley, next door to the Junction pub. There is ample parking in the car park just a little further along.

Moseley Festival : a child of the 70s and still going strong …..!Pam Rutter, a driving force behind the organisation of Moseley Festival looks back at its history.

Anyone who has lived in Moseley for more than a year or two will know that its annual community Festival celebrates the vibrancy of our lovely, lively suburb and brings together thousands of local people.

Did you know, though, that there has been a Moseley Festival almost every year since 1974?

In those early years, the organisers called it the Moseley Arts Festival and it was centred at the St Martin’s Catholic Community Centre on the corner of Church Road (now the Hamza Mosque).

Fast forward to the 21st century. The present organising group has been together since 2003 and shows no sign of flagging!

Pam said: “This year the Moseley Festival programme is looking great, representing the energy, enthusiasm and talent of so many local people.”

Moseley Festival 2011 runs from Friday 8 July till Sunday 17 and includes such events as :

Friday 8: Partners in Crime at O’Neill’s

Saturday 9: Street Fair, Open Day with a brass band at Moseley Park, Magenta about Town

Sunday 10: Moseley Mastermind Quiz

Tuesday 12: Cheeky Monkey Comedy Club Edinburgh Preview at the Cross, Moseley’s Got Talent’ at the Prince of Wales

Wednesday 13: Morris Dancing on the Green

Friday 15: NotSoYoung (Neil Young Tribute Band) at Moseley All Services Club

Saturday 16: St Mary’s Choir and Singers at St Mary’s Church

Weekends of 9/10 and 16/17: Art Trail

Plus many, many more events besides.

Build your own Greenhouse out of old windowsKaren Leach, a local Moseleyite has taken the concept ‘on a shoestring budget’ to its fullest extreme with her construction of a greenhouse out of ‘found’ objects. She explains all.

“Maybe it’s a Constant Gardener-esque attempt not to think too much about anything, or maybe it’s middle age – but I’ve been becoming increasingly obsessed with our garden of late, and so found myself hankering after a greenhouse in which to nurture tender seedlings and grow tomatoes out of the blight-carrying wind,” says Karen. “But the idea of buying one of those budget plastic ones that lasts a season was depressing, and so were the prices of proper wooden ones. My tomatoes seemed destined to remain hunched in a coldframe.”

“Inspiration struck when I cycled past a skip full of lovely old wooden windows in Moseley, and we now have a beautiful greenhouse built entirely out of windows that would otherwise have ended-up up the chimney of Tyseley incinerator. It took a few months to collect enough windows (we did ask!), including some with coloured glass and one huge, arched beauty from Chantry Rd which forms the roof.

“There’s a minimal foundation of a layer of bricks (a quarry tiled floor is the next project), and then the windows are attached to each other simply with long screws from one frame into the next – the roof attaches in the same way, strengthened with a broad supporting post.”

Karen stressed that even for a DIY novice like her it was relatively easy. The hardest part was making all the odd sized windows fit into a neat rectangular structure, but she found a puzzle-solving satisfaction about that too. Oh, and there was a certain amount of channel-cutting to ensure that rain can drain off the roof properly – but she advises that if you choose your roof windows more for practicality and less for aesthetics, that might be less of a problem.

Karen made shelving out of discarded pallets and has now had the satisfaction of seeing her first generation of seedlings grow up in the added warmth, as well as an excellent crop of tomato plants.

So if you are hankering after a greenhouse but can’t see when you’ll have the funds to afford it then this is definitely a very rewarding way of getting a beautiful and functional greenhouse almost for free.

Sarehole Mill opens millpond to publicWith a £30,000 investment from Birmingham City Council Sarehole Mill has transformed the area around the millpond creating pathways and a viewing platform, making it a delightful place to walk around and see the mill from the pond-side.

This has enabled people to make a very visible and real connection between the water and the mill – previously the only view of the pond was from a very small window on the first floor.

The renovation has also provided much needed access to the first floor of the mill for wheelchair users and the less able. The mill is characterised by many narrow steep stairways, a delight for many, but impassable for some.

Without having to go up any stairs people can now gain access to the first floor – arguably the most interesting floor with the mill-wheel and engine room.

This is the first step towards curator Irene de Boo’s long term vision of running Sarehole Mill as a working mill, grinding and selling organic stone-ground flour.

The next phase to achieve this goal is to clean up the mill-pond which is becoming overgrown with reeds and is badly clogged up with silt. This is a huge undertaking which will cost an estimated £250,000, a figure that Irene is determined to raise through a package of funding during the coming years.

Sarehole Mill is open Tuesday to Sunday from 12.00 – 4.00pm. Access to all outside areas and the café is free, and to go inside costs just £3 for adults or £2 concessions and under 16s are free.

Moseley Directory hits the world wide webOwned by Swan Publishing this delightful local community magazine has now found its way onto the internet.

So if you remember an article or advert from a previous issue and can’t lay your hands on it then just go to www.swanpublishing.org where you will find back copies dating back to May 2010 last year.

And if you run a business or work for an organisation that sees Moseley as a target audience then you can find out all you need to know about the incredibly low cost advertising packages available. You can also look at distribution maps which show exactly where the magazine is delivered each month.

Moseley Directory is now taking a new direction with a greater emphasis on community news, so if you belong to an organisation and want to get your voice

heard or have a story you feel would be of interest to the local community then please do get in touch. And if there is anything you would like to see in the magazine that is not already there then please let us know, we are always on the look out for new ways to improve the magazine.

Having run the Moseley Directory since its launch in February 2006 editor Amy Watson, a Moseley local, has since launched My Kings Heath in March 2009 and Edgbaston Directory in February 2010. These two magazines complement the Moseley Directory perfectly and provide a valuable means for businesses to promote themselves to their local area.
