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.'
I write to thank everyone who so generously donated money and gifts to be sent to the marines of 40 Commando serving in Afganistan. The Royal Marines Association Gibraltar Club of Mid Devon has been the central collection and distribution centre for this operation and we would like you to know how things are going.
Why not come along to our Market Brunch at Hemyock Market on Saturday 16th February & 15th March from 10.00 until 11.45
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!
It is for you and everyone else in the Cullompton Deanery Bishop Bob will give some short and inspiring talks. Canon Mark Rylands, Diocesan Missioner will chair. Andrew Maries will lead the music.
On Wednesday December 5, members of St Mary’s Guild met for their monthly meeting in the Church Rooms.
Frugal lunches of home made soups, bread & cheese will take place on Wednesdays during Lent in the Church Rooms. Starting Ash Wednesday 6th February, from 12 noon. All are welcome.
On behalf of the Friends of St Mary's Church a big thank you to everybody who supported the Festival of Trees in Advent. In spite of the very cold weather the attendance was very good over the three days and people were able to still enjoy the spectacle over the Festive Season as the trees remained in place until 2 January.
Christmas is over and a New Year begins, A New Year full of opportunity and expectation which has been rather blunted by various bodies warning of an impending credit squeeze and a fall in the economy. All of us face rising energy charges, from fuel for our cars to the electricity that powers our homes. In addition, there are the hidden charges that will be added to the price of goods in our shops and will eventually find their way into our wallets and purses. Dry and settled with plenty of sunshine developing today.
Early frost and local freezing fog patches will clear during the morning to leave a fine day across the region with a good deal of sunshine. Patchy low cloud affecting parts of the south coast and Scilly Isles though. Maximum temperature 13 °C.
Remaining dry through the evening and overnight. There will be clear periods allowing a frost to return, though some low cloud and fog is also likely to form by dawn. Minimum temperature -4 °C.
Another quiet day is on the cards weather wise, with low cloud, frost and fog soon clearing to leave lots of sunshine. A gentle breeze, but feeling pleasant again. Maximum temperature 15 °C.
Dry and sunny at first on Thursday, but clouding over with some showers developing later. Further showery rain during Friday. Skies brightening again on Saturday. Often breezy, but noticeably milder.
