Hemyock

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
