Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Sunday, March 02 2025 @ 05:48 am UTC
It is ten years since the Parish Council carried out a Parish Appraisal. Much has happened over those ten years and we now need your help in making the decisions that will affect our future in Hemyock over the next few years. What do you think are the current issues and how would you like to see the Parish develop?
To thank you for your business, we will be serving mulled wine and mince pies from 11am until 4pm on Friday 19th December & Monday 22nd December.
The Blackdown Community Choir will be giving a free concert at Wellington Arts Centre on Sat 6th December at 7.30. Everyone welcome. All donations to this year's chosen charity - Devon Air Ambulance. The bar will be open!
It was all change at the Hemyock WI Annual General Meeting on 7th October. The retiring President, Lynn Taylor, warmly welcomed Brenda Calcraft the new President. Committee members were elected with Judith Major as Secretary and Sandra Featherstone starting her second year as Treasurer. Heartfelt thanks was given to Lynn for her enthusiasm and commitment over the past years since reforming the WI at Hemyock.
The total raised in the Poppy Appeal collection was £1438.41. This was slightly down on last year but still a very good amount. My grateful thanks to all those who helped with the collection.
Anyone interested in joining a casual walking group? A small group of older people meet once a month on a Sunday morning, and usually drive to a pub, walk for about 2 hours (4 to 5 miles) and end up back at the pub for lunch.
Hemyock Singers will restart on Monday 12th January, at 7:30pm in the Baptist Church.
It's that time of year again, Christmas, it is a nice time of year, but they come around too quickly. First I should thank all those who turned out and helped with the Big Litter Pick, across the whole District there where 28 Parishes that took part during the Autumn, increasing every year, out of 48 Parishes. What is noticeable is that not so much rubbish is being picked up, I think that the majority of our Community is being more careful in dropping rubbish. Unfortunately, there is a few that are not so careful, thanks must go to all those who do clear up behind the more careless. We will have another clear up in the Spring.
This year's Christmas Fayre will take place on Saturday 6th December, from 2:30pm to 4:30pm in the Parish Hall.
For many years now the Christmas period at St Mary's has been marked by the erection of a lighted star on top of the tower. This year it will not appear. Dry and fine with plenty of sunshine.
A chilly morning, with early frost and patchy fog soon lifting to leave a dry and bright day. Plenty of sunshine is expected across the region, though some patchy cloud may form into the afternoon. Winds remaining light. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
Widely clear skies allow for another chilly night with frost returning to many areas. Light winds for all, bringing some patchy fog in places too. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
Another dry and fine day after early morning frost and fog has cleared with plenty of long, sunny spells. Feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
Remaining dry and settled with plenty of bright or sunny spells by day. Still cold by night initially with the risk of further patchy fog, but turning milder by Thursday.
