UPON the invitation of the medical men of Droitwich, several doctors who had taken part in an International Medicine Congress in London were invited to the town. Approximately 80 doctors were taken to the Brine Baths, the hospital and for short motor tours of the district. They were delighted with all that they saw and impressed with the advantages of Droitwich as a health resort and cure.

POLICE constable AJ Bottrill, stationed at Alvechurch, was severely injured in a cycling accident which occurred at Hopwood. The officer had been to Northfield on police business and at Hopwood, when on the return journey, he caught up two other cyclists and was about to pass them when one swerved and a collision occurred.

He was removed to his home at Alvechurch in a motor car in an unconscious state suffering from a concussion. He had since recovered consciousness and was recovering favourably.
