Trio crowned winners of Easter bonnet competition
MEMBERS of a local over 60s community group have been getting creative this Easter, throwing their hats in the ring for an Easter bonnet competition. The Over 60s Club, who are based at Oakfield Community Centre on Brettell Lane, Brierley Hill, held an Easter celebration party that saw members embrace their creative side with the hope of being crowned designer of the best Easter bonnet. As well as the creative competition, bingo, a raffle, a buffet and other activities, organisers also arranged for local nurse Paul Smith - locally known as "the Singing Nurse" - to take the group through the decades with song.

Cllr Adam Davies said: "It's always a pleasure to come along and support the Over 60s group and to see the members enjoying themselves with friends old and new. "There were some really great entries to the competition, so a big well done to everyone who entered.
