Timberscombe School Christmas Festival is this Friday in the Village Hall between 3pm and 5pm. Do please come along and support the school. Delicious refreshments, raffles, craft stalls and perfect Christmas gifts will be on sale to all help raise much needed funds. There will be a variety of outside stallholders to help make this a really village and community focussed event. As the St Petrock’s Christmas coffee and craft morning had to be cancelled owing to the stormy weather and power outage last weekend, there will be even more shopping choices available, including a beautiful home-made Christmas cake to be raffled on the church stall. Everyone is welcome. See you there!

Moor Harmony meets every Monday at Wootton Courtenay Village Hall to enjoy singing ‘a cappella’ (without accompaniment) a wide variety of music.  This ranges from African, West Gallery, folk through to modern day. We are led by a wonderful Voice Practitioner called Claire Stronach who makes our sessions very enjoyable and uplifting.

We begin 2025 sessions on Monday 6^th January at 1.00-2.00pm.  The charge is £9.00 but your first visit is free of charge.

So start the New Year finding a new hobby, restarting an old one and having the health benefit that comes from singing.

The below information has been reported to one of our PCSO’s. I am sharing for your awareness. Leaving to go to the village this morning a man was getting things from the back of a car. He asked me if I was Mrs ******** and when I said that I was he said he was coming to do a thermal imaging survey on the house for damp and insulation. He was adamant that I had booked the visit, I was equally adamant that I hadn’t. He showed me my request on his phone, I know that I didn’t email anyone. He argued that he had come a long way and that maybe I didn’t remember booking it, but I follow advice that if I want work done, I look firms up, not accept cold calls.

In Timberscombe Craft Group this week we will be making Christmas Wreaths. We will provide all the materials and will supply some Christmas cheer to all who participate.
