Hemyock WI - Come And Join Us
Hemyock WI is a thriving group of like minded women who meet for social and educational purposes on the first Tuesday of every month at 7.30 in the Forbes Lounge of the Parish Hall. We have a varied and interesting programme with something for everyone. Look at the calendar for details of our meetings.
Each month there are two competitions. All entries are items which we already have in our homes, (we are all busy people) and the winner is chosen by our speaker. The second competition is for flower of the month. (hastily picked from the garden on the way to the meeting usually!!) The money collected is sent to the ACCW charity annually.
After the speaker, we have refreshments, a fun quiz set by Brenda and a chance to talk to other members. Speakers have often remarked on the friendliness of our group so why don't you come along and give us a try. Ring Lynn Taylor on 01823 680104 for more information or to arrange to be picked up from your home if necessary.
A campaign is about to start, on the 6th February to canvass opinion on superfast broadband for this area. In order to be eligible we need to demonstrate lots of support. Please read the attached letter (pages one and two) from Devon CC and Somerset CC and respond. There is a website at www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk to register your interest. Here is a BBC article on the subject.

This website, hemyock.org, is a community-run website for local people to advertise their forthcoming events and achievements. It was designed as a central place where people don't have to search specifically for things and avoid the problems that local groups have in getting people to visit isolated websites. We get about 200 people visiting per day, or 6000 a month.
Whatever your age there will be a service at St Mary's suitable for you during this festive season and all are welcome.
