Hemyock

The latest meeting of the Hemyock WI was held in Forbes Lounge, Hemyock on April 1 with Lyn Taylor presiding.

After the usual business of apologies and minutes, etc, names were taken for those wishing to attend the group meeting on April 10 at Clayhidon. Lyn read the sonnet composed by a group of "would-be" poets over a glass of wine, which will be Hemyock's entry in the group competition. There was then a report of the visit to the European Parliament by Brenda Calcraft.  Lyn asked for the wall hanging squares to be completed and returned to her as soon as possible.

The Hemyock Singers will be performing Mozart's Requiem at the Parish Churches of St Mary.

In January we entered four teams into the Countryside and Safety quiz. Well done to all who took part, especially Marcus Busch, Carly Veale and Jeremy Turner for coming fifth.

We also won the east Devon group dodge ball, which again, representing the group we came first at Okehampton later on in the month. We also won ladies 5 a side football and U18 men's football. Also we played skittles against Axminster and lost by 15 pins. The East Devon round of Stars in their Eyes took place in February, congratulations to Mark Davis who came 3rd as Daniel Bedingfield.
