Tonight
via http://www.moselele.co.uk/2012/02/tonight/
There is a Moselele meeting tonight. I’ve just been a bit remiss in putting it on here. As usual it is at 8:00pm in the back room of the Prince of Wales. Remember that we will be using the new Book 1. If you don’t have it yet then print it out. We [...]

New Contender: Kit
via http://www.meowseley.co.uk/2012/01/new-contender-kit/
Name: Kit (Identity confirmed) We usually refrain from commenting on a cats name, after all a cat doesn’t pick its own name. In the case of Kit we hope he is named as a tribute to Knight Rider rather than a poor chocolate based pun. A cats identity should not be the basis of a [...]

New Version of Book 1
via http://www.moselele.co.uk/2012/01/new-version-of-book-1/
I am very pleased to say that we have completed revising Book 1. You can get the new version here. This version has many of the errors taken out and a few different arrangements. We were going to just let you know which pages had changed but in the end it was well over 40 [...]

New Contender: Towser
via http://www.meowseley.co.uk/2012/01/new-contender-towser/
Name: Towser (Identity confirmed) Agility – 8/10 Agility is the very bread and butter of being a cat and we think Towser has more than enough to make a sandwich, to pointlessly extend a metaphor. His owner has sadly undersold Towser’s ability at agility, but we can see lashings of potential. Towser is adept at [...]

New Year

Hello and welcome to 2012. I forgot to update the blog for the first meeting of 2012 but that doesn’t mean we’ve gone and knocked it all on the head. On the contrary, we intend to bigger and stronger than we’ve ever been before. We have lots of plans that include correcting all the errors [...]

John Madin - RIP
via http://wakegreenpark.blogspot.com/2012/01/john-madin-rip.html
There's some sad news to announce I'm afraid. John Madin, the famous English architect who was born in Moseley and designed our flats in Wake Green Park, passed away last Sunday evening.
John designed many the the buildings in Birmingham, including the Central Library, BBC Pebble Mill, The Birmingham Post and Mail Building, and the Chamber of Commerce. And our flats!
"Not far from the Calthorpe Estate and close to his parents' house in Moseley, on land at Belle Walk, Bromford Warden Housing Association appointed Madin to plan and design a block of 30 elderly persons' dwellings together with warden's accommodation and communal facilities. On the same site, Bromford Park, 249 two and three person flats and bedsitters with garages for the Bromford Housing Association were constructed in phases between 1967 and 1974. These schemes have since been incorporated into a gated community called Wake Green Park, which is managed commercially by Metro PM.
You can read a bit more about John designing our Wake Green Park flats in a previous blog post. You can also view a gallery of some of the buildings John designed here.
As always, if you have any news or views you wish to share on this blog, just send your blog post to hello@karenstrunks.com.

Are You Hangin’ Up Your Stocking on the Wall?
via http://www.moselele.co.uk/2011/12/are-you-hangin-up-your-stocking-on-the-wall/
This is a very simple, but timely, reminder that we’ll all be getting together at the The Prince of Wales to give Christmas a good celebrating. We rehearsed almost all of the songs in the Christmas Book at the last meeting. Some songs worked better than others, some surprisingly good ones. We’re encouraging everyone to come [...]

New Contender: Hobbes
via http://www.meowseley.co.uk/2011/11/new-contender-hobbes/
Name: Hobbes (Identity confirmed) Every now and then a cat comes along that touches the lives of everyone that it meets. A cat that makes you spontaneously clap your hands with glee. This is just such a cat. Agility – 9/10 We won’t beat about the bush here, look at the picture, he’s on the [...]

It’s Christmas

We take Christmas very seriously. We will be demonstrating this on Thursday when we have the first run through of the Christmas Songbook. We’ve got just about every Christmas song we can think of in there and we estimate it is 43% more festive than last years book. We will be in the back room [...]

New Contender: Doris
via http://www.meowseley.co.uk/2011/11/new-contender-doris/
Name: Doris (Identity confirmed) What’s this? The third or even fourth cat this year? Yes indeed, this is what it’s like at the cutting edge of the world wide web. Agility – 3/10 We’re used to owners embellishing their cats agility but Doris makes a refreshing change. Apparently she can’t be arsed. Fair play to her, jumping [...]

Good News: Ruby
via http://www.meowseley.co.uk/2011/11/good-news-ruby/
It’s only been a few days but Ruby’s been found. Actually she hasn’t been found, she came home of her own accord. If previous experience is anything to go by then we assume that the Birmingham Post will be clamouring for a press conference. We don’t know where she’s been but apparently she looked a bit thin, [...]

November
via http://www.moselele.co.uk/2011/11/november/
After the heady heights of Spookelele at the last meeting we’re back to the normal songbooks for this meeting. That isn’t a reason to be sad, no, the normal songbooks are great and they’re full to bursting with songs that we know. Next month will be Christmas songs all the way so this will be [...]

Emergency: Ruby
via http://www.meowseley.co.uk/2011/11/emergency-ruby/
Fortunately it’s been quite a while since we’ve heard about a cat going missing. Unfortunately it looks like Ruby has gone missing. As you can see from the picture Ruby is both quite small and quite cute. A dangerous combination when you’re a cat out on your own. She lives right in the centre of [...]

It’s Halloween, whooooo. As a special Halloween treat, this Thursday (3rd November) will be the first Spookelele. We have a new song book of creepy songs (songs with a tenuous link to the occult). As quite a few of these are completely new I recommend printing it out at you earliest convenience and having a [...]

Beauty’s Alive
via http://www.meowseley.co.uk/2011/10/beautys-alive/
Surely we can’t be the only people who’d come to the conclusion that this wouldn’t end well. In fact for months we’d been telling anyone willing to listen that little Beauty had obviously been eaten by a fox. It seems that she is in fact alive and well and living in Sparkbrook (apparently it was [...]

Name: Arwen (Identity confirmed) You will probably remember that it took us over four months to review our last cat, Barry, well this one has taken even longer. Arwen was submitted in April of this year but we have delayed the review in order to avoid potential accusation of contempt of court due to Arwen’s [...]
