Your Parish Church is seeking donations to install a Memorial Door for the porch at St Mary's and to upgrade the access path. We are delighted with the response so far and are over halfway to the £10,000 needed but we still need your support to reach our target Further details are on page 27 of the August/September Parish Pump or inside the church if you would like to make a donation.
LONGMEAD MANAGEMENT GROUP
With three matches remaining it loks almost certain that Hemyock's cricketers will win promotion from Division 5 of the West Somerset Cricket League. This is the club's third season in the WSCL and, after missing promotion by just two points last year, the team are determined to succeed this time around. They have won eleven of their fifteen matches so far this season with two others rained off. It hasn't been quite as easy as those figures suggest though. For instance, their victory over Milverton last Saturday was achieved by the skin of their teeth. Having dismissed their opponents for just 101, with Richard Drew taking three wickets for eight runs, Hemyock had lost eight wickets before scoring the winning runs, having their captain John Hurley to thank for an excellent innings of 61 not out.
Hemyock need another sixteen points to be certain of promotion and they may come this weekend when they visit Kilve. If not they have two home matches to complete the season versus Crowcombe on Saturday 30th August and Stoke St. Mary on Saturday 6th September. Both home matches start at 2.00 p.m. and spectators are always welcome at the Recreation Ground. That final match could be the championship decider if results go Hemyock's way.
Congratulations on what you have achieved already, and good luck for the final run in.
For the last 6 months a number of people from the valley have been researching the family and service life of those people at the start of the last century who served in the Great War. A book 'The Upper Culm Valley before, during and after The Great War' has been produced and will be launched in the Parish Hall on Tuesday 19th August at 7.30pm. There will be an opportunity to obtain the book at an exibition on Saturday 23rd August, 2-5pm in the Parish Hall where further information and memorabilia will be on show. Refreshments available.
Due to someone leaving the area a new distributor of the Parish Pump will be needed from October to cover High Street/Fore Street. If you feel this is something you can help with please contact me on 07773579809 asap. Many thanks, David
