This year it was our turn to visit our French Twinning partners over the Spring Bank Holiday. 50 Upper Culm residents enjoyed a weekend of French hospitality.
The Forestry Commission intend to fence part of the land behind Culm Davy, which many residents of Hemyock will be familiar with. They have only allowed us until the 2nd July for consultation, and they seem to have only put up two small notices on the route to the Culmstock Beacon.

After a short history of making pickles and chutneys from produce grown on the farm, members enjoyed guessing the many ingredients used in chutneys from Rumwell Farm shop for their April meeting.
Notice of Annual General Meeting: To be held in the Longmead pavilion at 8pm on Monday 7th June 2010. All are welcome.
Many people have expressed their shock, disbelief and even anger on reading in the last issue of the Pump that our four churches will, in time, be served by a half time Priest. Whether you are a regular churchgoer or not you will be aware of the work carried out by those appointed to the position. Just as a teacher works for many more hours than those spent in school it is more so with a Priest who is on call day and night and with us during our darkest hours as well as those of immense joy. As Rev Sherwood said we are in limbo and there we will remain until a higher power decides on our future or David feels called to elsewhere.
