Hemyock

Come and enjoy the Hemyock WI’s Pudding Night in the Forbes Lounge on Tuesday 19 February at 7.30pm

The first 2008 meeting of Hemyock WI took the form of a celebratory meal at the Half Moon on the occasion of their fourth Birthday. It was disappointing that Daphne, Margaret and Angela were unable to be there due to illness but all who were present agreed it was a lovely evening.

The pavilion has a kitchen as well as changing rooms, toilets and sitting area, making it an ideal venue for children's parties etc.

The next meeting of the Hemyock History Group is set for Thursday 14th February. Regular meetings will be arranged on the second Thursday of the month. This meeting will be jointly given by Brian Clist and Chris Dracott and will be on lists. Lists of Hemyock folk over the centuries including Muster Rolls, Protestation and Land Tax returns and a number of other historical 'lists of people.'

Many of us were delighted to be able to join in the carol singing organised by the Friends of St Mary's for the Festival of Trees in Advent. Accompanied on accordion by our Musical Director, Ron White, numerous well loved carols were sung before the group walked to the church when more singing took place before we were all able to enjoy the refreshments arranged by the Friends.

Looking back to the beginning of the August saw a very wet and muddy Honiton Show, which many of our members participated at. We had members showing stock, crafts, cookery and our boys pulled Tug-Of-War and even though they didn't take top place, they still managed to appear on Spotlight the same evening on BBC One!
