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. Hot sunshine on Monday. Warm thereafter, but some showers possible
Bank Holiday Monday will be dry and settled with high pressure dominating, giving almost unbroken sunshine throughout the day. It will become hot in the light winds, with afternoon temperatures not far off breaking records for May. Maximum temperature 30 °C.
The fine weather will continue overnight. There will be lots of sunshine to end the day. Patchy cloud may develop overnight, but remaining dry. Quite a warm night too. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Another mainly dry, often sunny and hot day is on the cards on Tuesday. However, some patchy cloud is possible, and an isolated thundery shower cannot be ruled out later. Maximum temperature 29 °C.
The weather will stay warm through the week, though cooler than recently. There will be some sunshine at times, though a chance of a few showers, which could turn thundery.
