Editorial
Dear Readers,
There cannot be many of us who will regret the passing of 2021. In 1992 the
Queen used the expression annus horribilis in her Christmas broadcast. We
can only hope that 2022 will not attract the same epithet!
Tennyson’s poem In Memoriam rings all the more true:
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Covid has changed all of our lives and may well do so for the foreseeable
future. Nevertheless, it has shown how resilient people can be and that the
people of the Blackdowns are not easily intimidated by the scare we have all
had.
So, as we go headlong into the New Year, may you all have a healthy and
prosperous 2022 with the constant hope that we will soon return to some
sort of normality.
With all our best wishes for the season
Jon, Josh & Dave

Nick’s Thought
As I sit at my desk to write this we are in the middle of Advent. Advent is a
time of waiting and anticipation, waiting and anticipating the birth of the
Son of God, Jesus Christ, on Christmas day. Consequently, having missed
the chance last month to wish you all a Merry Christmas, may I convey
my hope that it came with joyous celebration, and that you were able to
gather with friends and family to share in some fellowship and enjoy some
downtime before returning to the rhythms of everyday life.
On the whole I think we Brits do waiting fairly well. We stand in the Post
Office queue or bus stop and exchange polite conversation with the person
next to us. Or maybe we take the chance to check our phones for the sports
results, or these days, listening to our favourite podcast or audio book on our
headphones. Nevertheless, most of the time we patiently occupy ourselves
until the real work of the day can continue.
Consequently, this waiting time is put to good use catching up with friends,
enjoying a hobby or feeding our minds. But, waiting is not always like this.
Sometimes, we’re not prepared to wait and we want to race, metaphorically,
to the front of the queue. I think that’s especially the case in January when
we set our goals and plans, and make resolutions for a new and better year.
However, in doing so we become so focused on the end result, and many of
us get quickly disheartened when we don’t see immediate results.
Let’s be honest, 2021 hasn’t been the year we were expecting! There have
been moments, when I’m sure we’ve all become disheartened and it feels
a bit like we are not seeing the results of the precautions and vaccination
programmes.
Accordingly, in these moments, we’ve all had to learn to be a little more
patient. But, as we begin a new year there’s an opportunity to reflect on
those moments that we thought were times of inactivity and waiting. In
doing so, what we might actually start to discover is that they were in fact
times of enormous activity and enrichment, as we learnt new things about
ourselves, and the people and places around us. Things, that if we’d been
racing to the front of the queue we would have missed along the way.
5
And through these discoveries, some of us may have in fact, gained a renewed
lease for life and hope for a brighter future.
In his letter written to the very first Roman church, St Paul uses the following
words to encourage the fledgling Christian community as they began to get
disheartened, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation.”
Easier said than done, I know!
But it’s in this hope that our faith in Jesus is founded that, in time, we will
enjoy a better future, and in our case, a return to a greater sense of normality.
So as we enter this new year and begin to set out our goals and plans for the
future, let us do so with a transformed sense of anticipation and hope; but
also with a renewed patient outlook, embracing the wait, and the enrichment
of the queue!
Let me finish by wishing you all a happy New Year, and offering my prayers
and best wishes for the a prosperous and enriching 2022.
Nick
A letter from Bishop Ruth
The light of a star to guide us
What will 2022 bring I wonder? Two years ago Covid was just a vague
murmur coming from the East. How could we have known it would have
such an impact or for so long?
How might this year be different? Well, there is much to look forward to.
We expect to have a new diocesan bishop joining us. We will be celebrating
70 years of the Queen’s reign. The World Cup is on … and we have a chance!
And then there are all the other excitements of anniversaries, milestones and
hopes and dreams we all have.
As we begin this new year my mind turns to those Eastern travellers long
ago who saw a star in the sky, set out on an uncharted journey which took
maybe up to two years, and eventually found a King. Not the sort of king
expected but One who opened up new horizons for the whole world. One
who offers us love, forgiveness and a way back to God.
6
7
At this time when we are asking questions that search for deeper meaning,
this seems a story which resonates. What sort of journey will you take this
year? At a recent clergy pre-Advent retreat we were reminded that it is not so
much us walking with God but rather God walking with us. So, no matter
what twists and turns the road takes, or even if we slip from following in
God’s Way, He will never give up on us and will never let us walk alone.
This year, as last, we shall be seeking to dwell on some words from scripture
and allow them to permeate into our being. The following verses from that
passage, seem to offer us the light of a star to guide us as we navigate our
journey in the year to come.
‘Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your
gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry
about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace
of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts
and your minds in Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 4: 4-7)
May you know God’s presence and grace as He walks with you into this
New Year!
With love

11Blackdown Ladies
The Blackdown Hillbillies opened the December evening with a rendition
of Bye Bye Loneliness. It certainly was farewell to isolation as husbands,
partners and visitors joined in with songs from the past
Robert Garret gave a very informative talk about his passion – The Honiton
Pottery that was based at the top of Honiton High Street
Pre-1914 Foster and Hunt, who made household ware and mugs, owned
it. In 1918 Charles Collard, a talented potter and artist from Torquay
purchased the business. He put it on the map with his new hand-painted
designs and shapes. The business changed hands several times over the years.
In its heyday it counted Selfridges and Next among its prestigious customers
and had 45 employees.
During the golden days of coach travel Honiton was a stopping place for
coaches travelling to the Southwest. Passengers eagerly bought souvenirs
made by the pottery. After the close of the factory in the 1990s Honiton
Pottery became ‘collectable’.
The convivial evening continued with more music, singing and a shared
supper served by Cindy Beaumont, Nicky and Philip Needham. Thank you
to everyone who helped to make the meeting so enjoyable.
Overall we are disappointed that many former members have not joined us
since lockdown. It was decided the Blackdown Ladies will have a break until
March 3rd 2022 when the future of the club will be discussed.

Otterford Parish Council
OPC met in Otterford Parish Hall on Tuesday 14 December. Attending
were OPC Councillors Mike Canham (Chairman), Charlie Field (Vice
Chairman), John Marsden, Lucy Montgomery, Phil Wright, SCC Councillor
John Thorne, and the Clerk. This was another very short meeting.
Report from County Councillor
Extracts from SCC Councillor Thorne’s report:
COVID – the Omicron variant of Covid has now been confirmed as being
present in Somerset – it isn’t yet clear how many cases there are. Vaccination
remains the best form of defence against COVID. Extra walk-in clinics
have been held at weekends to help boost the number of vaccinations being
given, including some pop-up clinics. The Vaccination centre at Firepool
in Taunton is open until 10pm until at least the end of December. More
information can be found here: www.somersetccg.nhs.uk/health/local-
services/health-services-during-coronavirus/covid-19-vaccinations-in-
somerset. Additionally the Somerset Coronavirus helpline 0300 790 6275 is
open from 8 am to 6 pm every day.
18According to Age UK, more than 2 million people in England over the age of 75
live alone, and more than a million older people say they can go for over a
month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member. People can
become socially isolated for a variety of reasons, such as getting older or
weaker, no longer being the hub of their family, retiring, the death of a spouse
or friend, or through illness or disability. Loneliness affects the health and
wellbeing of many older people in the UK and is one the biggest issues of
today.
The Blackdown Healthy Living & Activity Centre has launched ‘The Riverside
Club’ to help combat loneliness. The aim of the Riverside Club is to bring
people together to have fun, mentally and physically; laugher is the best
medicine. A typical day would start with a cuppa and biscuits, a themed quick-
fire quiz or word wheel, followed by an art, craft, baking, musical, travel or
historical activity, then some gentle exercise followed by a two-course lunch.
The afternoon might include some lively activities such as balloon tennis,
seated basketball or skittles, giant board games, group games or some external
entertainment. It’s different every week as our days are planned/themed
appropriately to fit the time of year.
The Riverside Club is open on Mondays and Thursdays, from 9.30am to 3pm. If
you would like more information or wish to join us, please contact Lynn
Pulman on 01823 680687 or email riverside@bhlac.org.uk
19Road defects reporting – Online reporting of road defects has been changed
and you can now report 21 different issues via www.somerset.gov.uk/roads-
and-transport/report-a-problem-on-the-road. Take a photo of the defect if it
is safe and legal to do so, upload it to the site and mark it on an interactive
map. An engineer will be informed and they have three days to visit it and
assess it. The fault will then be either repaired within 28 days (quicker if
it is an emergency), or added to a works programme, or monitored. You
get an email confirmation that the report has been received, a link which
allows you to track the progress of the job and an email conformation when
the repair has been completed. You can report: potholes/road damage,
blocked drain/gully, damaged pavement/cycle path, damaged signage/
bollard, overgrown vegetation, problem with crossings, signal fault, bridge/
wall damage, damaged drain covers, flooding, hazards, mud, problems
with markings, pavement/road obstruction, weeds on pavement, snow/ice,
problem with roadworks, flyposting/graffiti, parking issues, problem with
road closures. There is no longer any need to email or phone the council to
report these issues.
New Somerset Council - elections to the new unitary council will be held
in May 2022. Parish council elections are being brought forward a year to
be held at the same time. Next year’s unitary elections will be on existing
divisional boundaries with two councillors being returned from each
division, so the total number of councillors will double from 55 to 110. The
number will be reduced to 85 by 2027 after a boundary commission review
to redraw the divisions which will then be called wards. The unitary will
be a ‘continuing authority’ which means SCC effectively continues under
a new name and absorbs the district authorities making it easier for staff to
transfer and contracts to be moved across.
Broadband - The delivery of superfast broadband via CDS has been rated
‘Red’ in a Quarter Two performance review presented to SCC’s cabinet.
Translated, this means the project is behind. Councillor Thorne is pressing
for answers as to whether steps are being taken to improve matters. The sorry
tale continues. Meanwhile, Bishopswood residents interested in pursuing
the voucher scheme cannot as Otterford is included in the Airband contract,
which makes us ineligible!

21Planning Matters
There were no new or refused applications this month.
Granted applications: 29/21/0010 Erection of a porch to the front of the
detached garage/store at Hillview Cottage, Bishopswood (retention of works
already undertaken).
29/21/0008 Erection of a 2 storey extension to the side and single storey
extension to the rear of 1 Brook Cottages, Bishopswood.
The Council is working with SWAT’s planning department to resolve issues
over a planning application to restore Cobblers Cottage in Bishopswood.
Road Safety
Plans (but sadly not the provision of ‘STOP’ signs) to improve road safety at
the Corfe Hill crossroads are currently being drawn up by SCC Highways.
Separately, after three accidents in as many weeks, Highways will be visiting
the two crossroads above the Holman Clavel to consider if any additional
works should be carried out. (They should read, or reread, the Parish
Council’s various approaches over the last 6-7 years – all the answers are
there!).
Climate & The Environment Project
There are still some free compost bins (for Otterford parishioners) needing
a home if anyone wants one. There was no further news on SCC’s extended
Climate Grant. The Biodiversity Diary Project has now been launched –
take a look at the information on the roadside outside Neates House in
Bishopswood (near the Candlelight). Trees for the orchard – which we plan
to plant in the field opposite the Holman Clavel – should be arriving in the
next 2-3 weeks. There is still time to volunteer to assist with planting!
Date & Time of next meeting: Tuesday 11 January at 7.30pm in the
Wright Room, Otterford Parish Hall. NB: This is not a comprehensive note
of the meeting but a summary of discussions and matters thought to be
of interest to readers. A full copy of the minutes will be on the website
(otterfordparishcouncil.org) after the January meeting.

with the SBP regarding the out-of-date timetable on the bus stop. This
will be updated by the relevant bus service providers.
• Public Paths Liaison Officer (PPLO) – The parish PPLO had informed
Somerset County Council (SCC) that a gate in Churchinford needs
replacing. SCC have however advised that this gate is the responsibility
of the landowner and therefore the parish council will ensure that they
are advised accordingly.

• Speed Indicator Devices (SID) in Churchinford – Somerset Highways
have recommended that to proceed with the possible provision of
a Speed Indicator Device, the parish council should consider having
a data collection survey completed by the Somerset County Council
Highways department. This will provide the parish council with up-to-
date information regarding the scale of the problem of speeding vehicles
through the village. The parish council agreed to proceed with this in
Spring 2022.
• Community Speed Watch (CSW) – Cllr. Carter has now registered the
parish council with Community Speed Watch UK and has completed
the training. Once clearance has been provided by CSW new / additional
members of the community will be able to join the group.
Parish Event - The parish council are looking for volunteers from the parish
to form a planning group to assist with the organisation of an event in June
2022 to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. If you would like to get
involved and help to plan and organise this exciting day, please contact the
parish clerk.

Smeatharpe W.I.
On 25.11.21 Smeatharpe WI met at Churchinford Village Hall.
Carole Long, our President welcomed everyone and after the formal part of
our evening, Andy Lucker, our guest speaker, was introduced to us. Andy
spoke to us about, “Catching Baggage Thieves at Heathrow Airport”.
Andy, now a retired Detective Constable for the Metropolitan Police worked
for the British Transport Police at Heathrow Airport for the CID as a plain
clothes officer. He helped catch numerous luggage thieves. Andy featured
in the television documentary “Airport” 15 years ago. Andy screened an
half hour recording of the programme for us all to see him at work. His
talk certainly opened our eyes up to the tricks fraudsters use to try and
steal baggage. He advised us not to carry designer luggage but stick to good
quality luggage.

The November Meeting was a moving feast in more than one way. We
enjoyed our Christmas social with wine and other beverages but instead of
sharing food had to eat the food we had each brought. Unfortunately, our
booked speaker Duncan Small had a Covid scare and thought it best not
to come. Fortunately, our President Graham Salmon was able to present a
very interesting talk ‘Flora of the Silk Road – Turkey to China’. The plant
photographs were spectacular and it proved a useful geography lesson as
we learnt which plants come from which Countries along the ancient trade
routes.

to stay healthy, happy and safe with their colleagues, family and friends.
The scheme is funded by Somerset County Council and delivered by a
partnership between Spark Somerset and SASP.
Details were given of the flooding which occurred in the wider area following
heavy rain on the 20th October 2022.
New free online resources were now available for both professionals and the

42Yarty Gardening Club
We really started to get in the mood for Christmas at our
November meeting when our speaker, Angie, from Cottage
Flowers in Ilminster, showed us how to get creative with flowers
and foliage.
She began by making a beautiful table decoration; taking
its creation step by step to show us how we could do something similar.
Angie’s decoration was created on a bent wire framework attached to a birch
log, but any framework shape would work too. Moss was wired onto the
framework and then sloe twigs, adorned with lichen were pushed into the
moss, distributed along its length. Around these twigs, Angie wove some
battery powered LED lights to form the base of the decoration. It was then a
matter of adding the adornments; some berried stems of Skimmia and dried
hydrangea flower heads, a few red rose heads and some green baubles. The
finishing flourish of leaf shine on the Skimmia leaves brought the decoration
to life.
As she worked, Angie kept us amused with anecdotes about her journey
into floristry and lots of useful hints and tips. She said that dried hydrangea
heads are a great addition to any arrangement at this time of year. Paniculata
varieties are very good but any type can be dried by picking the flowers in
September or October before the frost and then hanging them upside down
in a warm, dry shed.
The next arrangement was an Advent ring which was supported on a glass
cake stand. The basis of this design was of course the five candles, pushed
into an oasis ring. Around the candle bases, was a bed of Skimmia leaves
with added foliage to give a variety of colours. This decoration had a palate
of soft peach supplied by carnation heads together with pale pink roses.
Some brown baubles, dried hydrangea heads and berried sprigs of hypericum
gave the arrangement depth and some beautiful white orchid heads added
glamour. The Advent ring was completed by the addition of some grasses
for movement and asparagus fern fronds dipped in platinum. We all agreed
that the finished decoration, though not using the traditional Christmas
colours of reds, greens, and golds, was very evocative of the Christmas
43season. Perhaps we should all experiment more with colour at this time of
year.
Angie then gave us a demonstration of how to make a traditional Christmas
wreath for the front door. She laid out her materials along the table to start
with, explaining that she normally chose 10 pieces of whatever foliage she
was intending to use. These included a variety of conifers such as spruce,
cyprus, bits of Xmas tree, bay, variegated holly, eucalyptus, ivy, and grevillea
leaves dipped in red. The base for the wreath was a straw ring which can
be pre-dipped in a water butt before wreath construction begins. [Using
a straw ring instead of florist’s foam is better for the environment because
oasis doesn’t fully dissolve in water or degrade in landfill or soil but instead,
it just breaks down into smaller and smaller micro-plastics.]
Angie demonstrated how to gather a bunch of foliage, using one of each of
the collected items, and wire it into the wreath at 12 o’clock. By rotating the
wreath as she went and adding special extra bits occasionally, she soon had
the wreath finished. The special additions were beech leaves sprayed copper,
sprigs of bottlebrush tree, pheasant feathers, ribbons and berries. Fir cones
were wired in separately as were cinnamon sticks and orange slices. The
whole wreath was beautifully finished with a large bow. I’m expecting to
come across a lot of professional looking wreaths on local front doors over
the season, although I’m sure it is not quite as easy as Angie makes it look!
She finished off the evening by showing us how to make a beautiful hand
tied bouquet, using a variety of lilies, carnations, roses, antirrhinums, berries,
bay, pittosporum, and grasses dipped in copper. We were all really inspired
to ‘have a go’ ourselves.
The club will not be holding a meeting this month. Our next meeting will
be on Thursday 17th February when we will be looking at ponds and water
features. Details to follow in the next magazine.

News from Musgrove
Children who need care and treatment at Musgrove Park Hospital’s
emergency department (ED) can often be frightened and confused about
what is happening to them.
While our colleagues in ED provide outstanding care for our younger
patients, they don’t always have that extra bit of time to help with the non-
clinical part of their care.
Step in Sarah Smith – who has been appointed as our first ever play specialist
in ED, complementing the excellent work done by the existing team of play
specialists in our children’s unit.
“I worked on Musgrove Park’s children’s unit for 12 years and on occasions
colleagues on ED would request play specialist support,” she said.
“I have always taken great pleasure in the positive outcomes of children I
have supported and our children’s unit matron Louise Hill – formerly an
ED sister – noticed my smile and satisfaction following an intervention one
day – and that’s how this new role first came about.
“My main role is to create a positive and welcoming environment for our
younger patients who come into hospital in an emergency.
“When the child first arrives in ED, I look to build a rapport and relationship
with them based on their age and developmental level.
“Working with colleagues in the department we track and support the child
in ED and look at what we can do to enhance their time with us. That
could be something as simple as giving them a colouring book or providing
activities on an iPad.
4647
“It can be frightening for a child to come into hospital and a little distraction,
such as putting Peppa Pig on the TV or letting them hold and play with a
familiar toy during an intervention, can really make a difference.
“If a child has additional needs, we may create a care plan that explains to
them in non-medical terms what’s going to happen to them while they are
with us.
“A boy came into ED over the summer with a badly broken arm and he
had a pre-conception that we were either going to chop his arm off because
it was no longer any good or that we would rip it open and stick the bones
together!
“It was only by having a conversation with him that we could work out what
his fears were. I was able to work with our emergency nurse practitioner to
develop a care plan where we supported him during the day, and this meant
that he didn’t need to be admitted to hospital or even need general anaesthetic
for the procedure. This completely changed his hospital experience.
“Often the nurses who first see our patients at the ED front door will give
me a call if they see a child struggling a bit and we can start working with
them.
“I’ve had great feedback so far from colleagues and patients/parents. Back
during Easter time, a child with learning difficulties came in and I spent a
long time breaking down his hospital journey and we even sorted out an
Easter egg for his sister. His mum left a glowing review on a local Facebook
page, which was really nice to see.
“I feel so lucky to be one of those people who get up in the morning really
looking forward to going to work as I know I’m likely to make a real
difference to a child’s care and experience at hospital.
“The pandemic has certainly been challenging to my role, not least having
to thoroughly clean every toy after it has been played well.
“We’ve also had great support from members of the public and most recently
Andrew Whitehouse from the Historic Helicopters charity near Chard,
kindly fundraised for iPads and other equipment for children to use in our
ED.”

49Williams Pinto, a charge nurse at the hospital’s ED, said: “Sarah is often
very humble when she talks about her role, but I’ve found her to be a breath
of fresh air for our ED, not only in her own role, but how she also helps
our nurses to take observations when a child is sick and needs attention
straightaway.
“Sarah is always positive and has a smile on her face. I’m sure that our
colleagues and patients would say that the environment in our ED is always
so much better when she is around.”

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra – Friday, 19 November 7:30 pm
University Great Hall, Exeter
Kirill Karabits: conductor; Felix Klieser: horn; Amyn Merchant: leader.
Mozart Divertimento in D K136
Just 25 string players of the BSO for this piece. These pieces can be played by
string quartet. They are small symphonies for string only ensembles. Here
the strings were on top form. Wonderful playing from the violins. On this
occasion, the first and second violins opposite each other with the other
strings in the middle. I would like to hear more Mozart small pieces.
Mozart Horn Concerto No.4 These concertos are wonderful pieces made
famous by the legendary horn player Dennis Brain whose recording is still
the one to have. Here however we were in something very special. Felix
Klieser is no ordinary player. He has no arms. To blow the horn he sits on a
chair operating the valves with his feet. He produces a rich warm tone and
his playing was something very special. The orchestra were on top form. We
are lucky that Felix Klieser is the artist in residence for the next two seasons.
Don’t miss any opportunity to hear him. You will be as amazed as I was and
moved. This was his UK concert debut. What an evening. I would love to
hear him play the horn concertos of Richard Strauss.
Bruckner Symphony ‘0’. This is early Bruckner possibly experimental. Here
we hear the thoughts and ideas that would come later. This performance
was very special with wonderful playing from the whole orchestra with
hints of the great things to come from this composer. I would love to hear
Kirill Karabits conduct the orchestra in the mature symphonies of Bruckner,
numbers four to nine. Would it be too much to hope that these might be
recorded by Chandos?
The next BSO concert is on 21 January in the University Great Hall Exeter.
The main work in this concert is Rachmaninov’s Symphony No.2. We all love
the second piano concerto and you will love this. The symphony had been
cut by various conductors over the years. It was the late André Previn who
restored it to its full length. This is now the version we have today. There
5556
are however two recordings which are legendary André Previn conducting
the LSO recorded in the Kingsway Hall in London (Great Recordings of
the Century), and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic conducted by Vasily
Petrenko (EMI 915 4732).
If driving to Exeter is not your scene we can offer a coach journey. The
pickup point is Lace Walk, Honiton at 5:15 pm, cost £10 return for all four
concerts. For more information contact Mrs Carol Scott, 48 Livonian Road,
Sidmouth (01935) 579716 or email Carolthearle@hotmail.com.
Amici Saturday, December 4, 2021 – King’s College Chapel, Taunton –
Conductor: Andrew Trewhella
In terra pax – and on earth peace
This concert opened with Gabriel Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine, Op. 11. A
beautiful work here sung by Amici, back nearly to top form. This is a piece
which needs to be better known. ‘God is asked pour on us his powerful
grace.
Fauré’s Requiem is a huge favourite of mine. Here we heard the lovely baritone
voice of Gareth Dayus-Jones with Imogen Ball as the soprano soloist in the
Piu Jesu. The work ends with the In Paradiso. Quite simply one of the most
moving in the throat moments.
Benjamin Britten is not my favourite composer. However, his Ceremony
of Carols was here wonderfully sung. Beautiful playing from the harpist,
Sioned Williams.
Gerald Finzi – In terra pax. His very introspective views of life stems from
the loss of his father and three brothers. The music is full of melancholy. The
use of baritone and soprano, Gareth Dayus-Jones and Kate Barnes, was very
moving. The work ends with ‘and on earth, peace goodwill to all men. Oh
how we need it.
John Rutter’s What Sweeter Music is something very special. Wonderfully
sung by Amici with a small orchestra. A great evening of music to calm us
all down.
Amici’s next concerts are as follows: Saturday, 5 March 2022 to include
Haydn’s ‘Nelson’ Mass venue TBA, Saturday, 18 June programme and venue
to be advised.

64Thank you to everyone who voted for us in the European Outdoor
Conservation Association vote last month. We were one of six organisations
shortlisted to be in with the opportunity of winning £12,000. Sadly in our
category we were pipped to the post by just 79 votes - so nail-bitingly close
which made it a bit difficult to swallow! On the plus side, we were pretty
overwhelmed with how many of you took that one minute to place that one
click. It’s so great to know that we can rely on you when it matters. Don’t
forget that however small, sometimes taking that one action can make a real
difference.
How gorgeous is this? This is a
rather beautiful meadow coral
fungus which was discovered
on our Ubley Warren reserve
by one of our Senior Reserve
managers whilst clearing some
bramble. You can see where
it gets its name from with its
wonderful coral-like branches
and fabulous colour. What a
lovely find!
The Somerset Nature Connections project team are back to help people
learn new skills, meet people and feel great, with more FREE 6 week
Nature and Wellbeing Courses in January. Learn self-care techniques such
as mindfulness, have a go at practical conservation work and get busy
with nature crafts and outdoor cooking. If you’re feeling a bit alone or
experiencing low moods, anxiety or stress, check out the details. Places are

Council for Somerset (CCS).
Community buildings across the county will be challenged to do something
different as part of Village Halls Week 2022 and make a pledge on social
media.
CCS will be raising awareness of the contribution village halls make to
rural communities, as well as inspiring the volunteers who run them to get
creative and improve their offer to local residents.
#VillageHallsWeek is taking place Monday 24 January – Sunday 30th
January 2022. It will be the fifth incarnation of the popular national
campaign which last year saw 800 halls complete an online ‘Domesday
Book’, to mark 100 years since their foundation.
Village halls in Somerset are already doing many innovative things, such
as making environmental improvements or taking steps to reduce isolation
in their communities. Edington Village Hall have recently installed solar
panels and Bicknoller Village Hall have put in place electric car charging
points. CCS will be working with hall committees during 2022 to take
further action on climate change. Stoke St Michael Village Hall set up a
Community Fridge and Book Share scheme during the pandemic and are
now working to ensure their hall is accessible to all, including the installation
of a new ‘Changing Places’ Toilet.
Sally Sargent, Community Buildings Adviser, said, “We’re pleased to
be supporting Village Halls Week 2022 which will be a celebration of
everything that village halls can, or could do, to improve their offer to
the local community. With Action with Communities in Rural England,
we’ve been highlighting the role and achievements of halls for some time
– from combating loneliness to supporting local businesses. But this year’s
campaign will be a bit different. We know there are some great examples of
halls that’ve gone the extra mile by putting on new activities and services for
residents, taking action on climate change or taking steps to become more
6768
financially resilient. Along with other members of the ACRE Network, we’ll
be celebrating these pioneering halls and challenging others to make pledges
to get similarly creative. During Village Halls Week we will be holding
two online events for halls trustees focused on the bringing the arts into
community buildings and addressing climate change”.
The volunteers who run these buildings – estimated to number more than
50,000 across England – are urged to contact their ACRE Network member
to access a campaign pack or visit ACRE’s website where they will find more
information about the campaign, along with ideas to help them get involved
and a copy of the pledge form.

TO PAY SUBSCRIPTIONS ONLINE
We have introduced BACS payments for those who wish to use this facility to pay
their subscriptions. This is up and running and is merely an additional method of
paying, it does NOT REPLACE CASH OR CHEQUES for those who still prefer
to use them.
TO MAKE A BACS PAYMENT
Using your own bank’s online facilities, pay £10 into the account detailed as below.
This is a single payment for 12 months and not a direct debit mandate.
When making a payment, please use the following format as the reference number
so that we know it is you who has subscribed:
XXXPOSTCODE
Where XXX is your three letter parish code followed by your postcode:
• CHU for Churchinford and Churchstanton
• BSM for Buckland and Blackwater
• OTT for Otterford and Bishopswood
• PIT for Pitminster and Corfe
For example: for someone living in Churchinford, their payment reference would
typically be as follows: CHUTA37RD
For someone living in Buckland it would typically be like this: BSMTA203SJ
For someone living in Otterford it would typically be like this: OTTTA203RS
For a Pitminster subscriber it would typically be like this: PITTA37AZ
If you are making payment for someone else or for more than one subscription,
please tell your distributor that you will be doing so, as there is not the facility
to add this extra detailed information to an online payment. Of course, we
will continue to accept cash and cheques. It is just that for ease of processing,
cheque or BACS/online payment is preferable, with cash payment being the more
time-consuming method to process. The intention is to make subscribing more
convenient for everyone who is comfortable using whatever means they prefer.
Our account details for payments are as follows:
