Watchet Beach Clean

Our Winter Beach Clean and Litter Pick on Saturday 8th February 10.30am – 12noon, and we’d love you to join us.

Not been to one before? Here’s all you need to know…
– Meet at 10.30am on the slipway at West Street Beach. Wrap up warm, wear suitable footwear and gardening gloves. We’ll provide litter pickers and sacks.
– We’ll be picking up litter along the beach, along the coast path and around the town. After about an hour, all those taking part are invited to The Sanctuary for hot drinks and cake, after sorting what’s been collected.
– Come with friends or as a family group. We also look forward to welcoming Knights Templar School Eco Warriors! All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

– Spread the word! You can find a pdf version of the poster attached to this email and you’ll also find info to share on our Facebook page ‘Plastic Free Communities in West Somerset’. We’d love it if you could help us promote the event and encourage people you know to get involved

Join our Steering Group 💚

Interested in helping us grow the campaign here in Watchet and plan for the next event? We’d love you to join our small friendly group of volunteers who meet alternate months for about an hour to keep things moving forward. Next meeting Tuesday 4 March, 7–8pm at The Sanctuary (Swain Street, opposite the Post Office). Do drop us an email if you’d like to join us.

Timberscombe Gardening Club 2025 – A New Season

Greetings and hope you stay safe in the gathering storm Éowyn! Just a reminder that the Gardening Club, currently ‘resting over the winter’ will commence again on Monday, March 3rd, when the evening will focus on Roses and pruning. We look forward to seeing old members and new. Visitors are always welcome.

Perhaps you are spending your winter evenings by the fire – perusing your seed catalogues, so when the time comes don’t forget to sow a few extra seeds in preparation for our plant sale at the end of May. 

Subscriptions will be due at the first meeting; they remain the same; £10 per annum, then £1 for monthly meetings. Visitors £3.00. 

Thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm and support in 2024. In the mean time, you can see our programme for 2025 on the Gardening Page of Timberscombe Village Website.

Happy Gardening.

Carol, Erica, Elisabeth, Pauline
