Dear Member, The new season is upon us and, with all our new facilities now in place (courts, pavilion and floodlights), it should be a good one! As you will see below, the committee has been working hard to develop the club and get more people playing tennis.
At the annual general meeting of Hemyock Singers the decision was made to look at formalising the separation of the Group.
The Tennis Club are having an Open Evening on May 1st from 6:30 onwards, at Longmead, with a local sports shop providing rackets or racquets to try out. There will be light refreshments in the Pavilion afterwards. Non-members and members are welcome
Reports presented at the annual church meeting of St Mary’s Hemyock with Culm Davy Chapel showed them to be lively forward looking communities. The buildings including the Church Room are in good repair and the interior of St Mary’s is to be redecorated during the summer months. Architect plans for possible alterations at the church had been on display and following an open parish meeting Church Council will be considering the way forward.
Carrying the flag of St George, Amie Sellick of 1st Hemyock Scout Group led members of the Tiverton District Scout and Guide Associations as they paraded through Tiverton for their annual service to honour the patron saint of Scouting and to remember the life and service of their founder, Robert Baden Powell.
