 What’s on

 The Christmas Salmagundi this year is being held on Saturday 9th December, not the 1st Saturday as is usual. For those who haven’t been before or who have missed it in recent years, please make a note in your diary. The format is being changed a little this year with a number of local musicians providing acoustic entertainment later in the evening. It will be a bring and share feast , bring your own drinks , and this is a great way to meet with your fellow villagers, gossip and have some fun. The provisional start time is 6pm with eating starting at 6.30 to make this more acceptable for those with young children , but more details later.

Roadworks : I am sure everyone knows that at the end of this month a series of works on the road into Welcombe are taking place, lasting over a month. The alternative route is a long way round! Our local Councillor Jeffrey.Wilton-Love@devon.gov.uk has agreed to to talk to Devon Roads to minimise the impact of the works as much as possible, but it does seem likely that there will be day time closures.

Bookswap

“The New Welcombe book swap has got off to a great start with a good group of regular swappers coming to enjoy their book choices, a chat with fellow swappers, and the pop up tearoom. We also have some new faces discovering us every fortnight which is fantastic.

The range of books is huge and with regular swappers we have some great new reads every week. The children’s books have increased too and we have a great selection for younger readers and little ones especially. There are also lots of non-fiction from cooking to autobiography, history to gardening and lots of art, craft and hobby books to get you started on something new, or put together a little selection as an extra pressie to pop under the tree this year.

Remember you can buy books if you have none to swap at 50p each otherwise swap for free. We also have some jigsaws now which are only for swapping please and some free magazines.

  Full details of events at Meddon Village Hall, Keep Fit, Pilates , Morsbagging etc can be found on the Meddon website:
