Welcome to Hemyock
Saturday, July 04 2009 @ 09:10 AM BST Welcome to Hemyock
St Mary's Summer Fayre
A Three Church Journey
 Three Churches featured in a talk by local Baptist Pastor Steven Reed when he was guest at the recent Hemyock Women summer BBQ. Around 30 women heard Steven speak warmly about three churches that had particularly helped him in his journey of faith – all of them interestingly from the Methodist denomination.
More Noticeboards for Hemyock
 Hemyock is a thriving community with a large number of events, all of which need to be promoted. This web site and the village noticeboard are two of the means of advertising. However the single noticboard is proving too small and it is thought that a further one or two noticeboards in the village would be helpful. The Parish Council together with the Parish Hall Committee and Longmead Sports Committee are considering the siting of public noticboards at the entrance to Longmead and in the Millhayes Hall area and the enlargement the exiting board at the Parish Hall. The increase in capacity will reduce the unsightly posting of notices on telgraph poles it is hoped.
Youth Council for Hemyock
A meeting which is hoped will be the pre-curser for the setting up of a Youth Council for Hemyock is to be held next Monday 6th July at the Garages of the old St Ivel factory. The Parish Council have plans to turn the Garages into a Youth Centre and need young people to feed in their ideas on the running of the project. Young people are invited to attend the meeting which begins at 7.30pm.
Serving those who serve since 1779
 It was said of the Duke of Wellington that he was ‘more afraid of his own men than he was of the enemy’. Which perhaps makes his Presidency of the Naval & Military Bible Society in 1816 all the more understandable with its core aim being “to spread abroad Christian knowledge and reformation of manners.”Richard Prendergast is Executive Director of NM&AFBS and as he spoke to a recent meeting of Hemyock Men, he unpacked both the history and the immediate positive impact the society was having on our Armed forces.
Archaeology Talk from Stephen Reed
 At our recent Thursday meeting, Mr Stephen Reed, an archaeologist from Devon County Council, presented a very informative and interesting talk on archaeological activity around Devon including the find of post-mediaeval pottery at the Churchill building site.

Open Garden at Regency House
