Free First Aid Training

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment

Timberscombe Parish Council have organised a FREE First Aid course on Thursday 24th October 2024 at 6pm in the Village Hall. 

This training is open to all who would be interested, free of charge ( you may make a donation to the group if you wish but it is not required). No previous experience needed.

As I hope you are all aware, we have a village defibrillator situated in The Glebe telephone box. The Parish Council have also purchased a Bleed Kit, which will shortly be installed in the phone box too.

The First Aid training will cover basic life support, the safe use of a public access defibrillator and use of a bleed kit.  It will be run by The Minehead Community Defib Group, who gave us such excellent training a few years ago.

Could you please email me if you would like to attend as I need to let the organisers know how many will be present: la.webb@btinternet.com

Timberscombe Welcomes Young Talent to the Village’s Annual Show  

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment

On Saturday 17th August there were many stars and lots of sunflowers at Timberscombe, courtesy of Timberscombe 1st School’s European Art Curriculum Course Work, featuring Van Gough’s Sunflowers and Starry Nights and Monet’s Houses of Parliament, which graced the walls of the Village Hall at the Annual Village Show. We are very grateful to the young artists for sharing their work and thank the school staff who support and encourage them. Their work was appreciated by the villagers and friends who came to the show.

There were many old faces and many new folk who entered the variety of classes and the show also welcomed new visitors to inspect the produce, flowers, cookery, art and craft.

The organisers have always encouraged people to enter, regardless of their ability. Entries included exhibits from the very experienced to the raw novices. The standard was very high and the competition congenial and friendly.

It was an informal occasion and the usual convivial atmosphere was enjoyed by all. The afternoon was rounded off by the lively auction of produce.

Thanks are extended to all the judges who give up their valuable time to keep village shows going; to the stewards and all the team for organising and helping at the event.
