With September upon us, life returning to normal after covid and schools returning after the summer break, we can now catch our breath and look and plan ahead with some optimism.

Thinking ahead, we were lucky enough to welcome a representative of the Lord Lieutenant of Somerset at our last meeting who addressed us on county wide plans for the celebration of the queens platinum jubilee next year.

He quite rightly pointed out that this would be the first platinum jubilee in history, and one that would be unlikely to ever be repeated, and as such we should mark the event with enthusiasm and celebration, and the council agreed.

He went on to detail arrangements in place, which are that there will be an extended bank holiday weekend on the 2nd-5th June. There will be no late May bank holiday.

There will be the traditional lighting of beacons across the county on the Thursday night. They are aiming for 70 county wide to celebrate 70 years. We are hoping that we will be able to light our traditional beacon on top of Smalldown hill, and that our colleagues in Milton Clevedon parish will be lighting one on Creech hill.

There will be a platinum party at the palace, a special trooping of the colour, and other events, but we are being encouraged to support a celebratory village lunch on the Sunday. This proved very successful and popular when done for the golden jubilee, and I’m sure will be again.

This and any other event that the village would like to organise will take a lot of organisation, so we are looking to volunteers of individuals and village groups to step forward and help turn this into a very memorable weekend indeed. Please contact the clerk if you are able to help at all, the village will be very grateful.

A quick thanks also to the sports club for assisting with the annual flower show, and the loan of their pavilion facilities. I know this has been a great help to the horticultural society.

The PC will be having a stand at the show, so for any queries, complaints, or offers of assistance, please pop along!
