MARY-JANE HINCHLIFFE Shapwick Starlets WI 4 AUTUMN I S SUE | OCTOBER 2 0 2 6 Shapwick Starlets summer activity The Shapwick Starlets enjoyed summer gatherings and outings in August as there was no scheduled meeting. This started with a skittles evening at the recently reopened King William Inn, Catcott, which happened to coincide with the eclipse. Ladies had made pin-hole cameras, or brought colanders or special glasses to witness this event. Someone coined the phrase Colander Girls and great fun was had by all. During the summer ladies also took advantage of the local bus service and spent a very enjoyable day in Glastonbury bargain hunting in the local charity shops. Sue was most pleased with her find of a crafty book entitled 100 Little Knitted Projects; watch out for Christmas gifts! Other bargains were a miniature lighthouse complementing a collection of wooden houses and a jigsaw puzzle roll mat. All charity items were under £5. We would also love to see you at our Christmas Fayre on Sunday 29 November from 1.30 – 3.30 at the Village Hall. See the poster on p. 8 and save the date! No letter from Rich Tweedy in this issue for personal reasons. But he hopes to be back in the next one. The Community Cafe takes place once a month, rotating between the Pavilion, the Village Hall and St Mary’s Church. A great place to meet other villagers and friends over a tea or coffee and a cake or two. See What’s On on p. 8 for the upcoming dates! WENDY ANDERSON The following week, the intrepid adventurers followed the Wells town trail, stopping for lunch at The Bishops Palace. Shapwick Starlets meet in the village hall on the second Tuesday of the month at 7.30. We have some exciting speakers and activities over the next few months.
