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. Exceptionally hot again on Tuesday, then less hot from Wednesday.
Staying sunny and very warm into this evening with temperatures only slowly falling away after dark. Clear skies continuing overnight and staying rather warm, making it quite uncomfortable for sleeping. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Temperatures rapidly rising in the strong sunshine and becoming exceptionally hot inland by the afternoon. Very localised thunderstorms may develop later. Cooler on many coasts with sea breezes possible. Maximum temperature 33 °C.
Breezier on Wednesday and slightly less hot, with rather strong easterly winds in places. Remaining very warm on Thursday and Friday with a small chance of showers and perhaps thunderstorms.
