There will be a Hamster Show at the Fillongley Village Hall on Saturday 7th February 2009. The show starts at 10:30am. Members of the public are welcome to come along to view the animals and speak to the owners.

The Fillongley is north of Coventry, on the B4908. From Coventry, take the Radford Road (Junction 1 of the Ring Road).

The Coventry Sikh Union holds their annual Vaisakhi Mela in the War Memorial Park. We went along today to see what was going on and to sample some of the food (Langar) on offer. The food may have been free but they were requesting a small charitable donation which seemed fair. We had a couple of plates and it was all good stuff.

We wandered around the stalls and fairground (most rides were £2.50 per person which seemed a bit much). We also discovered that the park has an aviary which we weren't aware of. It was fairly small and was mostly populated by various types of finches and a few cockatiels.
