Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Saturday, September 06 2025 @ 10:41 pm UTC
We are hoping to encourage many more people to play tennis on our new courts at the beginning of the new season. Non-members may hire the courts (bookable at the Spar) and we're organising two Coaching Courses, taken by our LTA coach, Doug Scott, at very reasonable rates.
Now that Spring is here it would be appreciated if those people not living in areas where our hard working volunteer Litter Pickers operate, could play their part by clearing up rubbish and litter in their patch.
7th Feb & 7th March 2007
Letter received by Hemyock Parish Council from Cooks Coaches
The Friends of St Mary's met in the Church rooms on Tuesday January 16th.
Members met as usual in the Church Rooms at 3pm on Wednesday, February 7th. There being very little business of the day, Christine introduced our speaker Brenda Calcraft, who entertained and enlightened us with her knowledge and practical demonstrations of patchwork.
With the recent work being done on the Hemyock church clock, a few words of history might be of interest.
Over the past couple of years we have seen a profusion of plastic bracelets adorning people's arms. They are multicoloured and usually demonstrate the support of a particular charity. People of all ages wear them but they seem to be particularly popular with school-children, who often wear so many it's difficult to see any skin beneath them! These bands are not always a reflection of charitable support - they often carry simple but powerful messages like 'Love', 'Peace' or 'Stop Bullying'.
A new campaign in Hemyock urging people to compost their kitchen waste is being fronted by TV celebrity Kirstie Allsopp.
Exhibitors are being sought for Fibrefest 2007 this autumn.The plans for the fibre showcase at Bridwell Park, Uffculme, in September, are taking shape, and the deadline for exhibitors is Wednesday, May 30. Dry overnight, but rain returns tomorrow.
A largely fine end to the day will give way to a dry, albeit increasingly cloudy night. Winds will also strengthen, especially near the coast and over the moors. Milder and muggier than previous nights. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Cloudier on Sunday with outbreaks of showery rain spreading eastwards, turning heavy at times, with a small chance of thunder. Remaining windy, and feeling more humid than recent days. Maximum temperature 21 °C.
Staying unsettled into the new week with gusty winds, heavy showers and longer spells of rain, though occasional brighter or sunnier breaks are possible. Feeling fresher than on Sunday.
