EVENTS | Could you find love this St Swithun’s Day? ❤❤❤

For one day only, Worcester St Swithun's is hosting a speed dating event, to celebrate St Swithun’s Day.

Plus as today is 'Cheer up the Lonely Day' all tickets are half price - just use the code Cheerful50 when booking.

Why St Swithun’s Day? The old myth about St Swithun’s Day is that whatever the weather is on the 15th July will remain for another 40 days. Thanks to that myth, and the success of ‘One Day’, the David Nicholls novel and Netflix series, some people consider St Swithun’s Day to be a particularly romantic day, as what happens on that day is likely to last!

Speed daters will rotate every 4 minutes, moving from pew to pew. The bar will be open so guests can enjoy a drink before the speed dating begins, or continue conversations over a drink afterwards.

Doors open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start, and booking is essential as spaces are limited!

IMPORTANT❗️| Drivers are reminded of the precautions to take on roads where deer may be present. 🦌

With between 42,000 and 74,000 deer-related collisions in the UK every year, Your Herefordshire is sharing advice from the British Deer Society on how to be deer aware and keep safe.

Deer can be encountered in Herefordshire throughout the year, and many drivers have noticed an increased number close to roads in recent months due to flooded fields.

In April and May, when the birthing season is in full swing, the number of the animals on the road can increase further. The danger of collisions also increases in October with deer on the move for the autumn mating season.

Warning signs are displayed around the Herefordshire area where deer are prominent and there is a particular history of deer collisions.

There are also steps motorists should take to help ensure the safety of themselves and others where deer stray on to the road.

🔹Beware during peak danger periods: Highest risk times are between sunset and midnight, and the hours shortly before and after sunrise.

🔹Drive with caution: During peak danger periods, or on roads where hitting a deer is a possibility, drive with caution and be on the lookout for deer near the road.

🔹Seen one? Look for another: Be aware that more deer may well follow the one you have noticed.

🔹Use your lights: After dark, do use full-beam when there is no opposing traffic. BUT, when a deer or other animal is noted on the road, dim your headlights as animals startled by the beam may ‘freeze’ rather than leaving the road.

🔹Don’t veer for deer: Don’t over-swerve to avoid hitting a deer

🔹If a collision with the animal is inevitable, then hitting it while maintaining full control of your car is the safest option. The alternative of swerving into oncoming traffic or off the road surface could be a lot worse. Motorcyclists are at particular risk when in direct collisions with animals.

🔹Look out for traffic behind you: Only brake sharply and stop if there is no danger of being hit by following traffic, and use your hazard lights.

🔹Stay safe and report the incident

🔹If you see an injured deer on the roadside:

🔹Pull over at a safe place

🔹Call the Police, giving as precise a location as you can, they have access to specialists who can attend the scene.

🔹Do not try to assist or move the deer as this can put you in danger.

🔹If you hit a deer while driving, your priorities, in this order, are:

🔹Keep yourself and anyone with you as safe as you can.

🔹Park your car in the safest place with hazard lights on

🔹Call an ambulance if human injuries warrant it

🔹Call the Police

🔹If the deer is alive and still visible at roadside:

🔹It is best not to approach it. Doing so may cause it to run across traffic causing another accident.

🔹Do not move or handle live deer, this needs a trained specialist.

🔹Call the Police

URGENT - ALABAMA ROT❗️| A suspected case of Alabama Rot has been reported in our neck of the woods, in the south of the county near Ross-on-Wye.

🔹Please SHARE to make people aware!

Alabama Rot is a disease that damages blood vessels in the skin and kidney and can be fatal.

If you walk your dog in muddy, wooded areas of the county please look out for:

*Lesions or ulcers on the skin. These could appear as a patch of red skin, or as an open ulcer or sore most commonly found on a dog’s paws or lower legs, but they can also be found on a dog’s face, mouth or tongue, or on their lower body
*Signs of kidney failure include loss of appetite, tiredness and vomiting.

If your dog is unwell or exhibiting the above symptoms please contact your vet as soon as possible as early treatment can save an otherwise fit and healthy animal.

A post shared by Raw Dogg said:

“Warning Please Read! Alabama Rot. 🚨

“We have been aware of issues of this nature from other customers but please read this from one of our regulars.

“Just to let people know that my dog has been ill with suspected Alabama Rot. The reason I say suspected is because you cannot be 100% sure unless the kidneys are biopsied post mortem.

“Luckily my boy pulled through - one of only 10% that do!

“We always walk in the Lea Bailey Enclosure. Please make sure you wash your dogs off after having been walked.”
