Village Green: - After placing our order for the play equipment we were disappointed to learn that the installation date had been pushed back: We now expect it to take place during October and November. However work has carried on preparing the play area and finalising our fencing and access plans. This work has revealed just how poor the condition of the wall along Station Road is and this will require additional work, cost and fundraising. It is a beautiful wall and with village support we would like to preserve and indeed restore it. Shapwick Village website: - www.shapwickvillage.co.uk The brilliant new website has had an encouraging start with a steady stream of regular visitors. Pay a visit if you want to keep in touch with “everything Shapwick”. Along with Shapwick News and the Shapwick Residents Facebook page, we are very well served as a community by all forms of media. We hope that you enjoy them all and find them useful.

Shapwick Memory Project - A Call for Volunteers! Shapwick History Group is planning to hold a discussion session with long term village residents later in the year; if you think you could help, we'd love to hear your thoughts and stories. It won't be at all formal, just an excuse for a small group to get together and have a natter about times past and record how village life has changed over the years. Subjects covered might cover family, school, work - or wherever the conversation takes us! We already have a lovely film featuring Dora Watkin's reminiscences (to be posted on the village website soon...) and it would be great to add more memories people JOHN ANDERSON may have for future generations. If you're interested in taking part please contact us at history@shapwick.org, find us on Facebook, or contact John Anderson at 8, School Lane. Thank you and hopefully see you soon... 3. clue: a Halloween bird 4. clue: an insect that is a 1 letter sound Some clues for the word search (see p. 6) 5. clue: a bird that rhymes with wheelbarrow 6. clue: something new on the green 7. clue: the action of growing crops 8. clue: a meeting place The new post & rail fencing along the church footpath alongside the allotments has been completed thanks to some first class work by village resident Tom Coombs. We are also grateful to Bradfords Builders Merchants, Glastonbury who kindly sponsored some of the materials. Flooding has become an important issue in Shapwick. Though the PC has neither legal responsibilities nor financial resources in this area, we are exploring ways to support the community's response, with a focus on signposting sources of information via the website (shapwickvillage.co.uk): see "Flood Resilience Information" at the end of the "Services Information" section of "Our Village". See also the information and suggestions on "Flood Resilience" in the Sustainability Group report (p.7).
