Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Friday, December 26 2025 @ 01:30 am UTC
A big "Thank You" to the staff of the Post Office and Spar shops for helping and caring for all our parishioners, especially the elderly, during the recent spell of icy weather.
Do you enjoy a stroll in the countryside?
The organisers of the Pump are sorry to have postponed the 'Thank You Tea' on 16th January because of the uncertain weather. We hope to have another date in the spring to which all distributors and prospective helpers will be invited. We did try to contact everyone involved by telephone, e-mail or word of mouth, but many apologies if the message did not get through to everybody.
Yet again it has been a busy couple of months for Culm Valley Young Farmers who have certainly not let the recent cold weather get in the way of the busy schedule!
We have now retired from running the stall at the Saturday morning market for the Blackdown Support Group in Hemyock. We have done this for nine years including the odd Garage Sale and raised over £9,000.
The February meeting of the history group will be a talk by Rev Ron White in the Church Rooms on February 11th at 7.30pm
Join us as we travel to visit our partner French twinning association “Jumelage des Grées” which has been formed by members from four villages in an area situated near the Loire River not far from Nantes. We will be travelling to France 27th to 31st May and the costs are modest, just £90 for adults and £40 for children.
"Why me?" was the question I asked when approached to open St Mary's Christmas Fair this year. I was told it was because I had attended a great many and perhaps would have some memories I would like to share. It was later suggested I should put some of the memories I mentioned into the Pump; hence this article.
A musical evening of fun and variety...............
