Table Top 4th September

Thank you to everyone who supported the idea of an open air table top sale at Sunnyside a week on Saturday. Unfortunately we did not have enough confirmed tables booked, and then we had some unavoidable withdrawals, so with regret it is cancelled. We hope to make our villagers arts and crafts available for viewing and sale at the Christmas Coffee Morning to be held at St Petrock’s later in the year. Details will follow in due course. The PCC.

Showcase Timberscombe

Thank you to everyone who attended Showcase Timberscombe last Saturday. We hope that everybody who attended found it worthwhile. The winner of the free draw for the hamper of local produce was Carl Hobbs.

Attendees took the opportunity to have their say on a number of issues and the Parish Council will be working through their suggestions at their next meeting in September.

60% of those who voted felt that the often damaged village tough should remain in its present position. The Parish Council will now approach ENP and SCC to discuss the best way of repairing the trough, protecting it from future damage and improving its appearance.

TIMBERSCOMBE NATURE WALK

SUNDAY AUGUST 29TH

Meet on Brewers’ Green at 3pm

Local ecologist Graham Boswell, who has been conducting a biodiversity survey for the parish over the summer, will lead a two hour walk on public footpaths to the famed Timberscombe Oak, looking at wildlife habitats along the way.  The views will be fabulous and the pace will be easy, but there’ll be some trudging up the hills and over rough ground: bring water, dress for the weather and wear sensible shoes.  Children are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Any questions: please ring Caitlin on 01643 841310 or email cait@globalnet.co.uk

 There is no charge for this event, which is hosted by the Parish Council.
