It may be the middle of summer as you read this but some people have already begun collection items to put on their shoeboxes for the annual Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoebox appeal.
This fund exists primarily to help students in higher and further education, with the purchase of their books and equipment, by making discretionary grants.
An Ice-cream day will be held on Saturday 5 September at Beamley Bungalow
Following on from our press release in the last Pump about a Grant that we have been awarded, we can report that the Ball Machine should be with us by August - just in time for Club Coach, Dan Loftus to use on our coaching courses in the holidays, which is great!

Thank You to all those who supported the Hemyock Indian Take-Away in April. Wintry showers in the west. Sunny further east.
Icy stretches possible in the northeast initially as rain and hill snow clears to leave much of the region with sunnier skies for the afternoon. However, showers continuing across Cornwall and west Devon, turning wintry. Feeling cold in brisk winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C.
Blustery, wintry showers persisting in the west, bringing a chance of icy patches and accumulating snow on hills. Clear skies and lighter winds in the east, allowing a widespread frost. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
Ongoing wintry showers in the west. Dry further east with plenty of sunny spells. Cold, but less of a wind-chill effect than Wednesday, with the breeze moderating throughout the day. Maximum temperature 7 °C.
Cold again on Friday, though sunshine for many as showers ease. A change this weekend as it turns more unsettled with rain moving in, but also with temperatures increasing slightly.
