Yarnscombe Newsletter by the Community for the Community Note from the Editors What a busy couple of months weâve had in the village. Comedians, singers, cider, pasties, cream teas â it can only mean that the parish of Yarnscombe is a friendly and hungry community to be part of.
Help Yarnscombe Yarnscombe has a busy and friendly village community, but as time goes on there are causes that everyone needs to support. For the last twelve months or so the Rescue Group for St Andrewâs Church have been actively engaging the parish in raising funds to undertake immediate and necessary repairs to the fabric of the building.
July is the month of the village fete this year being run by the Village Hall & Social Club Committee and the Parochial Church Council on the 14th. Everyone from near, far and wide are welcome join in and enjoy a BBQ and disco in the evening. See page 7 for the full details.
We are sure you all join us in wishing Richard Jewell of Sunnybank a speedy recovery following his recent accident. It is at times like this, as a rural community, we realise how important the Devon Air Ambulance is. It was able to land safely in the Village Hall car park. Get well soon Richard.
The Village Hall also needs your support to continue being a valuable community resource â this is a definite âuse it or lose itâ situation. Please consider hiring the hall for events rather than go âinto townâ. The events that have been organised by the Committee have been well attended and if you, the residents of Yarnscombe, want to keep a key social building âŚ.âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ. well, itâs up to you. So many groups use the hall for their regular events â short mat bowls, badminton, bingo, model plane flying â as well as being used for parties and wedding receptions. Donât forget The Eagle is a community newsletter with the content being supplied by you, the residents of Yarnscombe. So, if there is anything youâd like to share with the rest of us, please feel free to drop us an email at yarnscombe.eagle@gmail.com or drop a note through the door at Heather Bank or The Briars.
