Breakfast at the Hall In March, another successful Breakfast Morning was appreciated and enjoyed by all. We are really pleased these mornings are popular; “Thank You” to all villagers and those beyond who support such an excellent Village event. The next Breakfast Morning is Saturday 16 May 9-11am. New status for the Village Hall Further to the Public Meeting last October, we are pleased to let you know that Shapwick Village Hall CIO (charitable incorporated organisation) was finally registered by the Charity Commission on 27 January 2026 (reg no 1216618). At present the Trustees are Michael Motum (Chair), Bridget Dawes, Ian Hale, Mary Rayment and Nerina Scott. If anyone in the Village is interested in being co-opted as an additional Trustee, please do let one of us know.

Please contact Colin Macpherson, Club Chairman, 07886 210168 colin.macpherson@ashcottfc.co.uk TRACEY LOCKYER Many of you have been wondering what has been happening at the top of my field at the top of the village. John Pamment has kindly donated and built an enclosed seating area. Anyone may use it and admire the view of the Mendips and surrounding areas. Please use the area but at your own liability. At the time of writing, it is not quite finished: John is waiting for a gate to fix at the front opening. The area is in memory of my dad Eric Lockyer who lived and farmed in the village and was quite a character. We hope you enjoy the rest and view if you’re walking that way.
