Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Monday, December 15 2025 @ 07:42 am UTC
Mike Cooper has completed his walk in aid of Injured Servicemen by walking into Malmesbury Abbey Cloister gardens on Sunday 11th April together with a group of friends and representatives from 9 RLC Regiment based at Hullavington 4 miles from Malmesbury.
There has been a recent increase in the amount of dog mess which has been left around the village. Some of it is bagged, but then thrown into gardens or fields. The Parish Council are appealing to owners to clear up the mess left by their dogs. It is not only a health risk, but is unsightly and unnecesary. Dog bins ate located around the village for owners to use. Remember there are substantial fines for not cleaning up after dogs.
Mike Cooper set off on his walk from Hemyock to Malmesbury in Wiltshire from St Mary’s Church on Easter Sunday morning with the Easter bells ringing around the valley. The walk is in aid of Help for Heroes which rehabilitates injured servicemen returning from Afghanistan and Sports Aid which assists the disabled compete in the 2012 Olympics.
A big "thank you" from the Culm Valley Players to everyone who supported the Pantomime of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs either by coming to see it or sponsoring it or both. We had great fun doing it and raised £1661.22 which was divided equally between Devon Air Ambulance and St. Margaret's Hospice.
Devon and Cornwall Police are trying to revive the lapsed neighbourhood watch scheme.
Burnett and Hazel Case would like to thank everyone who sent them cards and best wishes on the occasion of their diamond wedding. Thank you!
Well, do you like it or loathe it? - the new size Parish Pump that is. Comments have varied from - much preferred the smaller size to so much easier to handle; it seems to have even more adverts (they help pay costs); it's harder to find news items they seem to be all over the place to lovely to see so many different things intermingled. A case as always of not being able to please all of the people all of the time! It seems as the village has grown so has the Pump. I'm sure Tony Grosse had no idea the magazine would reach such proportions when he began it many years ago. We are grateful to the various contributors that bring the news to us in each issue and of course the editorial team who painstakingly spend time putting everything together.
The Parish Pump postponed Thank You Tea will now be held on Saturday 17th April in the Church Rooms at 3pm.
