MANOR COURT SCOUTS YOUNG LEADERS

We are three 16 year old young leaders/explorer scouts that live in Tatworth, and are part of Manor Court
Scout Group, Chard. We have been in the scouting movement for a total of 7 years each and we have been
given the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Nakuru, Kenya in August 2019. We are now at the point of our
scouting journey where we have the opportunity to go and help those that are less fortunate. In August 2019
we shall be volunteering in Nakuru, Kenya. We shall be working with children and teachers based in a school
for orphans and destitute children.
The education system in Kenya works very differently to raise a grand total of £6,000 to fund our trip. We will be
here in the UK. Education is not free and so for those with doing various events throughout the year to raise funds.
very little money it’s extremely difficult to send their
children to school. Something we can take for granted here. We are having a stall at the Tatworth Mini Rally on
Sunday 3rd June and have planned an afternoon cream tea
We will be working in Melon Mission and Silver Bells schools at 2 Kents Close, South Chard on Saturday 30th June.

school and mission who without the volunteer groups that www.gofundme.com/scouts-project-kenya-fundraising
visit would not survive and the children would be left to
walk the countryside or survive on the streets of Kenya.

We are taking part in this group trip to offer support and

education, both to the teachers and children at Melon
Mission and Silver Bells. Education is crucial to the
development of these children and the community they live
in. By sharing our skills and helping them directly
we hope that we can make a sustainable impact to the
educational experience of the 520 children and 20
teachers based at the projects.

The cost of getting to Africa is an obstacle in the way of

many people being able to offer direct help. We need to

PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
The next Ordinary meeting of Council will be at the Memorial
Hall on Thursday 7th June at 7.00pm.
All members of the public are welcome to attend, to make
representations, to ask questions and to learn how and what
your Councillors do to try and make the parish a better place to
live, work and play in.
Council would like to announce that there is now a Casual
Vacancy on the Council following the recent resignation of Cllr.
Chris King. Notices have been placed in the parish
noticeboards outlining the statutory process by which such
vacancies are filled. If 10 or more electors so wish, they are
invited to write to South Somerset District Council to call
for an election. If no such election is called within the
designated period ie: ending Thursday 7th June, then Council
will be permitted to fill the vacancy by way of co-option, that is
to say that Councillors would choose the next Councillor rather
than the electors of the parish. If you are interested in joining
the Council, or simply wish to know more, please do not
hesitate to contact the Clerk on the number shown on this page,
or by email.
Following previous incidents of vandalism and anti-social
behaviour in the parish, Council is pleased to report that the
problem appears to have waned but would ask that all
residents be vigilant of such activity which causes
concern, distress and nuisance to so many, yet is often caused
by a mere handful of persons in the community.
Please remember to use the Police 101 service or, in an
emergency, the 999 service. Council is aware that police
budgets are stretched and manpower scarce, but only by
reporting such incidents at the time they occur can the police
deal with them efficiently and effectively.
At a recent meeting of the Council, it was resolved that
Council would work with SSDC and other agencies to
highlight any social housing availability in the parish as a
service to anyone with a social housing need. To this end, a new
page has been added to the parish council website under
CHARD SOUTH COUNTY COUNCILLOR
ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Councillor Gemma Verdon writes:
I regularly attend Parish meetings, meet with parishioners,
report back to the County Council, the Parish Council and
relevant authorities when required.
The County Council continues to experience financial
challenges. We are now spending close to 70% of all the
County tax money raised on Adult and Children’s care.
These are statutory and the demand is ever increasing. Adult
Social care alone is now funding care for over 6,500 people.
This funding model is unsustainable and like nearly all
County Councils, we are looking at alternatives.
Children Looked After
Somerset County Council has in excess of 500 children
in care on a daily basis. The County Council has developed
a structured programme of support for foster cares –
we continue to require more foster carers and adoptive
parents, across the County and from within the Parish of
Tatworth & Forton, do get in touch with me if you have
a spare room and wish to explore opportunities for
disadvantaged children.
2 www.tatworthandforton.co.uk
Community Information and any updates will be published here,
but also on the notice boards around the parish for those
without internet access.
Finally, Council is just finalising the end-of-year accounts for
2017/18 and these will all be published on the website as
per statutory requirements over the coming weeks. The Notice
of the Exercise of Public Rights will be published shortly and this
gives any elector details of how they can inspect the Council's
records within that 30 day period.
The Finance Committee will meet shortly to determine what
reserves the Council needs to hold to provide the parish
services and this, in turn, will assist Council in
considering its expenditure for this financial year, and its
budgets for forthcoming years.
Council wishes all parishioners the very best and asks that
residents come along to Council meetings whenever
possible to see for themselves what the Council is all about
and how the business of small authorities is carried out in
your name.

Highways
Within the local area – Highway markings and signage is
being improved for the safety of all road users. After
careful assessment on the A358 the speed at the Marrowpits
bends has been reduced from 60mph down to 40 mph, for a
stretch considered the most dangerous.
Chard Junction
Some parishioners are passionate about the need to open
this train station closed in 1966. The matter has been
debated at Full Council and the Portfolio Holder for
Highways, myself and a Council Officer have met with a
delegation. Currently, until a commercial company makes a
viable investment, the re-opening will not happen.
Conclusion
The County Council has finite resources for Children, Adults
and Highways in particular. Communities are empowered to
help themselves and if this parish has resources at their
disposal, please continue to consider utilising those
resources to help the local community.
Finally, it is a pleasure to visit Tatworth and Forton Parish
Council. You are proactive and challenging but above all
helpful to the County Council and act as a vital link between
your parish, and that, often remote, County Council.

‘DRIFT BEEF & LAMB’
Mike & Jo Mouland are based in Forton and with
their family run a beef and sheep farm.

Having arrived from Wiltshire in 1982 they spent

three years at Avishayes Farm in Chard working as a
shepherd. In 1985 they moved to Linkhay, Tatworth
and began sheep contracting. Their four sons were
born, the business grew and life was very busy
indeed. However with the help of some amazing
neighbours the business became a success.

As time went on they began renting land and built

up a small flock and herd of their own. From there
they have progressed to owning over 2,000 ewes and
200 suckler cows with their off-spring.
Several years ago one of the son’s partner’s Emma
Biss began talking about the idea of running a ‘Farm
Shop’ selling what will be known as ‘Drift Beef
& Lamb’ to local people. The idea grew and all the
family have decided to pursue this new venture so
need to know if YOU, our local residents, would be
interested and keen to support this new and exciting
plan.
The Mouland family are passionate about the way in
which they farm. The young stock are naturally
reared on their mothers. They are grass fed and
when housed in winter are fed on home
produced hay, silage and barley.
Being extremely proud of what they do and how they
produce it the family would like to share this
quality product with you, the local community.
Along with Emma a local delivery service will be
offered, made up of a box containing beef and lamb
in a choosen selection to suit your needs, whether
that be large or small.
Interested? Then please let Mike & Jo know by
telephoning: 070974706763 or 01460 261931.
They will be very pleased to hear from you and
discuss possible needs, delivery times etc.
YOU, the residents of Tatworth & Forton have the
opportunity to take advantage of this new and
exciting venture - please support the family and
KEEP THINGS LOCAL!

SOUNDS LIKE A VERY GOOD IDEA!

GARDENER'S DELIGHT!
Lesley Frankau writes:
What a wonderful Plant Sale at the Memorial Hall in
early May! Sunshine, bacon butties, delicious home-made
cakes, bread and other produce as well as a sale of
pre-loved clothes and a superb tombola. What a better
way to spend a Saturday in Tatworth! Oh, did I forget,
plants too in great abundance! Vegetables of every
description, herbs, succulents, indoor plants, annuals and
perennials galore, courtesy of Gloria and Chris and their
magnificent band of growers and helpers.
Our Rector, Philip Butcher opened the proceedings with a
merry quip or two, accompanied by children James and
Florence, Michelle and new baby Andrew (adorable and
all smiles), which heralded the start of brisk buying and
selling. Bacon and sausages with coffees and teas
refreshed everyone before turning attention to the other
attractions on offer. Florence, the toy seal was won by
Mary Wardell who donated it to young Grace. Marguerite
won Malcolm 's beautiful bird table, a regular feature due
to his generosity and many other folk won a vast selection
of raffle prizes and/or the 150 club draw!
As ever our thanks to Frank and Celia on the door,
Malcolm and Christine in the kitchen with helpers, Joan
and Pearl on refreshments, Jan and Tom ran the raffle,
Hester, Wendy and. Ken Jan's Pantry, Daphne and Lesley
on pre-loved items, Graham and Helen respectively on
the toy raffle and bird table, not forgetting, Eileen,
Marguerite, Jenny, Greer on the tombola. Lastly and not
least, Gloria, Chris, Monica, Rosa, Mary, Margaret who
helped to grow or sell such a wonderful array of
plants plus gardening tools with such enthusiasm and
knowledge.
Well done Tatworth, you rose to the occasion and raised
£1,112.00 for Church funds. Thank you to everyone who
helped behind the scenes for weeks beforehand, on the
day and came along to buy.
We look forward to the pleasure of your company once
again at our Summer Fete on Saturday 7th July. Do make
a note in your diaries!
Many thanks go to the local businesses who donated goods
for the sale - Draw prizes came from Boots, Chard; Pure
Beauty, Chard; Tesco, Chard; also to Jenny Barnes for
donating a Monk’s Yard voucher, B & Q Chard donated

JUNE/JULY GARDENER
Welcome to Summer...
With climate change gardeners must be prepared for very
varying and warmer weather conditions in summertime. We
may experience torrential downpours as well as a few
scorching days so temporary shelter for our more delicate
plants may be required.
Regular garden maintenance in summer is a must. I find a
daily check early in the morning helps to commit to
memory those jobs I ought to be doing! Whether they
actually get done is another matter!
Watering should be done daily as soon as soil starts to dry
out. Add organic mulch (manure, compost or leaf mould) to
flower beds and water retaining crystals to containers and
baskets. Water crystals will help to keep plants in good
shape if you are away.
Lawns appreciate a high nitrogen liquid feed after the long
months of winter and should be watered during long hot
dry spells. Raise the height of mower blades and remove
collection box to leave grass cuttings to protect new growth
from burning at peak temperatures. This should help your
grass remain green.
Stock up on fertilisers. The snow and heavy rains of winter
will have leached away many of the main nutrients required
by your plants. I recommend tomato food (high in potassium)
to boost flowering and phosphorus which will strengthen
roots and stems, particularly if you are growing vegetables.
Ericaceous plants will react very favourably to iron and
manganese liquid proprietary feeds. Its sometimes called
‘sequestered iron’ and is the vital food required for acid-soil
loving plants.
Prune large shrubs and dig out any unwanted suckers. This
will promote fresh growth but also give light and space for a
healthier garden. Deadheading flowers past their sell by
date will often trigger a fresh flush of flowers and prevent
the plant from going to seed. If you are willing to give it a
go, herbs are easy to grow from seed, although grow them
in containers or they will take over. Cut, trim dry and eat on
a regular basis. Don’t you just love summer!
A kitchen garden if you have some space will provide a
regular source of salad vegetables, just keep on sowing and
picking. Tomatoes can be planted out, but will do much
better under glass. Root crops grow well in a raised bed out
of reach of the dreaded carrot fly. Leguminous peas and
beans do not require a rich soil, they produce their own
nitrogen, but some manure around the roots is beneficial.
Brassicas like some lime ,manure to produce good rich
humus soil and if possible soil depth is welcome.
Greenhouses should be checked for over-wintering pests,
red spider mite in particular. A thorough soapy sponge down
works well. Allow plenty of air circulation and dampen the
floor on very hot days.
A final tip – do not compost diseased plant material, or any
protein or fat food waste.

TATWORTH HEALTH WALKS
Rick Chubb writes:
These have now been going for a couple of months and
although the weather has not been kind we have had
enjoyable walks every week. Starting from TMH at 10.00am
on Wednesdays we follow the lanes and paths surrounding
the village. We are now doing an evening walk starting at
18.30pm Mondays from TMH which will not be every week
but please ring for conformation on: 01460 221013.
Most walks are about an hour to an hour and a half at your
own pace, walking boots preferable.

There was no speaker at the meeting on the 17th May
as it was the Annual Meeting with the election of a new
committee and a debate about those resolutions that will go
forward to be voted on at the National Annual Meeting in
June. There was however a sponsored walk in aid of ACWW
(Associated Country Women of the World) on the 3rd of May
at Uplyme and a presentation about ‘Scams and Digital
Safety’ on the 10th May in the Memorial Hall. Five members
joined the trip to Dartmouth and Dartmouth College
arranged by Somerset County Federation. Wendy Cotton
held a ‘Coffee and Chat’ morning on the 22nd.
Jessica is also arranging a slightly shorter trip for the
3rd July, when members hope to visit Sherborne. Jessica is
holding a garden party at her home on the 9th June in aid
of W.I. funds and to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of
Nan Austin. Somerset County have organised a visit to the
Houses of Parliament for the 11th June and a trip to
Rosemoor on the 27th and some Tatworth members are
joining these two outings.
Croquet will continue on the playing fields on Mondays.

NEWS FROM THE MEMORIAL HALL

The Hall Management Committee is planning two

fund-raising events in the summer and autumn. As you know,
the Hall relies enitirely on funds raised from hire charges
and fund-raising to cover its running costs of about £15,000
a year. Please support your Hall in any way you can. The first
event is a traditional, retro, vintage Jumble and Table Top
Sale on the morning of Saturday 14th July from 10.00am to
12 noon.

Tables will cost £5.00, so book yours now with Sue on

220339. Any contributions to the Hall’s tables (no clothes
please) will be welcomed with open arms and collected at
your convenience if you cannot bring them to the Hall from
8.00am on the morning of the sale. Let’s make this a bumper
Tatworth Turn Out. Refreshments available.

We are very grateful indeed to TAPS for offering to stage a

murder mystery evening in aid of Hall funds on Saturday
September 8th, 7.00pm for 7.30pm. The play is entitled
‘Cocktail for Murder’ and takes place in the 1920’s. Dress up
if you wish (prize for the best costume) and be Inspector
Morse or Miss Marple for the evening. Tickets (adults only)
are limited to 60 on tables of 6 so book a table for your
party. Tickets are £7.00 (individual) or £40.00 for a table.
There will be a bar and refreshments and a prize for the
winning table. Book now to avoid disappointment with Nick
on 220339.

Painting of the whole of the inside of the Hall has recently
been completed and we are sure you will like the result.
We are grateful to our users for their cooperation during
a period of disruption and even greater thanks are due
to our decorator Steve Southgate who has worked some
formidable and antisocial hours in order to minimise the
impact of the project on everyday business in the Hall.
On April 8th we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of ‘Wendy’s
Kitchen’ our weekly village cafe (every Wednesday and a
roast on the second Thursday each month). Wendy Massey
and her loyal team have worked extremely hard to make the
Kitchen the success it has become. Excellent food and good
company are guaranteed, and anyone who hasn’t tasted
Wendy’s ‘leek and stilton quiche’ followed by ‘apple or
coffee and walnut cake’ really hasn’t lived. Our photo shows
Wendy and her helpers, Iris, Yvette and Fiona on the
anniversary day.
T&F MOVIES
On Friday the 22nd June, T & F Movies will show the award
winning, crime/drama ‘THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE
EBBING MISSOURI’ (Cert 15) in
Tatworth Memorial Hall at 8.00pm.
Frances McDormand plays a mother
who rents three billboards outside her
small town, to call attention to the
unsolved murder of her daughter.
Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell are
the Chief of Police and his deputy who
she feels are not doing enough to
catch the perpetrator of the crime.
The doors open at 7.15pm and the entry charge is £4.00.
T & F Movies are taking a break in July and August but will
restart on Friday 28th September.

I am very pleased to see the better weather (most of the
time!) is enabling us all to get out in our gardens and begin to
display seasonal flowers etc. Certainly the various shrubs,
vegetables and flowers all seem to be bursting into life.
Our village hall continues to offer plenty of activities for all,
do please continue to support this valuable asset that we are
all so proud of. When I visited the recent Plant Sale it was so
nice to see such a busy and lively event with so many members
of the community enjoying the morning.
Finally may I remind you all that the RAG A.G.M. is due to
take place on the 10th October, so do go along and have your
say regarding any matters that concern or interest you.
Robin Munday
The Blackdown Hills Trust is looking for local
volunteers to help check stock fencing around the
grazing units in the Neroche Forest area. These sites
are managed by the Blackdown Hills Trust in the
Blackdown Forest for grazing conservation: they are a
magnet for rare butterflies such as Wood White and
Duke of Burgundy and an array of plants, insects, birds
and mammals. The areas are part of a Higher Level
Stewardship and are grazed by English Longhorn cattle
in the summer months.
What will the volunteer role involve?
The role will involve walking the stock fence twice
a year during the spring and autumn in the grazing
compartments to check for any rotten posts or damage to
the wire, and reporting back to the Trust. There may also
be opportunities to get involved in practical conservation
work, for example clearing conifer re-growth to allow
native flora to thrive.
Duke of Burgundy and Wood White butterflies are
just some of the species your work would help conserve.
