Newsletter March 2022

March already, and Spring is springing in. With the days lengthening, we can look forward to sunnier times ahead.

The PC are doing just that and looking forward to the 4 day bank holiday in June which will be a jubilee to celebrate the Queens 70 years on the throne. There is a group organising village events for the Sunday; all offers of help appreciated. We are also hoping to have a beacon on Smalldown Hill as part of the National chain of beacons. We are all praying that the weather stays fine, and a memorable weekend will be had.

There is also a national drive to plant as many trees as possible under the heading ‘The Queens Green Canopy.’ This is an excellent project, as we all know and appreciate the good trees do not just for the environment, but for our own wellbeing. The Show Society has taken this on board, and in partnership with the Sports Club, will be tree planting at Weston Town sports field. Thanks to both organisations for that.

The PC is still short of a member, so please, if interested in village affairs, contact the clerk, clerk@evercreech-pc.gov.uk and we would be delighted to have you join us.

Keep well, and if digging and tidying up the garden, don’t do too much too quickly. Spring is the season of bad backs!
