The Eagle NEWSLETTER FROM YARNSCOMBE A Note From The Editors A big welcome to all our new neighbours who have joined us in the village over the last few weeks.
Sandy Evans has moved into Primrose Cottage. Vicky and Thomas Yaxley have moved into Normead. Ruth and David Blake have moved into Hillside.
We hope that you all will be very happy in Yarnscombe. Other houses in the village have been sold and let recently and we trust that our outgoing neighbours are happy in their new homes. Please leave your latest Eagle for the new occupants so they can get in touch with us and other organisations in the village . ~~~~~~~~~~~ It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the sudden passing of Gordon Wright of Cherry Tree Cottage while in his favourite armchair earlier in May. Our condolences are passed to Joyce and the rest of his family at this sad time. ~~~~~~~~~~~ If anyone would like further copies of the Horticultural Show details and entry form for the Village Weekend, please make contact with either Richard or Alison Purchase at Langley Barton or via email at yarnscombe.weekend@gmail.com

Finally, as always, if you feel I can help just give me a call on 07814 010133.
For me it's been a very busy time at Torridge with many hours sat in Riverbank House deputising for our council leader whilst she was on holiday.
Kind regards.

Scarecrow Competition Following the success of previous years, it has been decided to hold the scarecrow competition again (in conjunction with the Cider Walk as previous years). Many people asked if there could be a theme this year - so it’s over to you!! What theme would you like to see for the scarecrows this year? Please let Lesley know before the next issue at lesleylatter@btinternet.com.
Ladybirds Skittles It gives me great pleasure as Captain of our Ladybirds skittle team to congratulate Jean Jury on becoming Ladies Singles Champion of Devon. She represented the Bideford league and played four magnificent games to beat Barnstaple in the final to become Champion. Much excitement was held by us all. She was also Captain of the team for the Bideford League and they reached the semi-finals being knocked out by the winners — Totnes. Teams came from all over Devon to take part.
Yarnscombe SMB Club The short mat bowling club season has now finished until the autumn and the team have had another very successful year. As a team our players won the North Devon and North Cornwall Stephens league knockout cup yet again, we also won the Alan Wright 10s competition which so far only has Yarnscombe’s name on it for the seven years that the competition has been going! Which is a brilliant achievement. One of our players Graham James is the North Devon Federation Singles Champion he had a nail biting last match to achieve this – well done Graham! Jay Shaw, Mike Avery and Elliot James had an exciting m atch to win the North Devon County Triples. Graham James, Elliot James, Mike Avery and Tony Main w er e part of the Devon Team th at won the ICC Rinks competition. So all in all a fantastic season, well done to all our members.
Well done JEAN from all the Ladybirds.
We are still looking for new players to join our small, very friendly club so anyone wishing to have a go will be very welcome, dates for roll up evenings will be in the next month’s Eagle so please do come along, you might surprise yourself and enjoy it. Last season we had three new players join our team Stephen, Fraser and Rick w h o each played their part in helping win the trophies and enjoyed their first year with us.
Margaret Crocker
We are all hoping to welcome some new players this season.

Notes from the Parish Council Most parishioners will by now be frustrated by the lack of progress regarding connection to super fast fibre optic broadband. According to the latest information, Yarnscombe Parish will be connected by the end of 2016. If you access the “Connecting Devon & Somerset” website (http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/), you will find information concerning a Broadband Voucher Scheme, which enables residents and business to spend £500 voucher with certain providers. It would mean entering a 12 months contract with these providers, a full list can be found on the website. Torridge District Council has just informed us, that an election to fill casual vacancy for office of parish councillor will not be necessary. The council is therefore able to co-opt a suitable candidate. By the time you read this, the vacancy may have been filled, we will keep you updated. Cllr. Williams has resigned from his role as PROW (Public Rights of Way Warden) due to other commitments, he has kindly agreed to keep an eye on the foot paths and carry out necessary repairs until a new warden can be found. If you can spare a couple of hours a week and enjoy walking, please contact clerk4yarnscombe@hotmail.co.uk or paulwilliams1063@outlook.com.

A Letter From The Vicar Dear Friends Some Two Rivers Mission Community News You will probably know by now that our curate, Rev Katie Cross has been appointed as Rector of the Netherexe Parishes north of Exeter. We are delighted for Katie and her family and know that her new parishes have made a very wise choice! We will miss Katie and her family very much. Katie will be licensed on September 1st. It would be great if members of our Mission Community could be there for that event. More details to follow soon. Katie's last Sunday with us will be July 17th. We will be having a special service on that day- again more details to follow next month. We hope to be in a position very soon to advertise for a new Team Vicar who will live at Newton Tracey. This will be a full-time post for a period of three years to help us make the transition to the reduced staffing that will be necessary after that. Please pray for God's right person to join us. Thy Kingdom Come. All 11 churches were open for prayer in the week before Pentecost (May 15th) and at the end of the week we joined together at St Giles Church to pray some more and share what we felt God is saying to us. Several people shared thoughts and encouraging stories. One person reminded us not to stop or to give up. Keep praying! Another story concerned some children seeing the church open and recognising the person on the door from Messy Church who asked to come in and have a look around. We considered that sometimes we can look to the unknown future with fear. We remembered God's promises to his people, including some words from Jeremiah 29: 11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart' Really good resources for the week of prayer are still available at thykingdomcome.co.uk. Every blessing

In Praise of Hedgerows We see them every day, maybe take them for granted, appreciate and praise them, cut them back, welcome them in Spring, mow their edges, marvel at them, bash our vehicles into them; but how much do we know about them? Yarnscombe’s Hedgerows are one of the unsung wonders of the Parish. Part of a network of 30,000 miles of Devon hedges they support a tremendous range of wildlife: up to 65 species of birds, over 600 species of plants, 20 different mammals, 1500 and more insects, as well as reptiles and amphibians have been recorded at some time living or feeding in the Devonshire hedgerows. Around 30 of the bird species also nest in hedges too. Half of our UK mammals— mice, voles, shrews, stoats, weasels, rabbits, foxes and badgers—make their homes in hedges. Living amongst the estimated half a million isolated trees that can be found in Devon hedges. It’s said that Devon hedges are as old as the hills and this is probably true. At least a quarter of the county's hedges are more than 800 years old. Many hedges having sprung into being in the medieval period. But some date from far before this to the times of ancient hill-forts and land boundaries of the Bronze and Iron Ages and even to the time when farming first started in Britain some 7,000 years. Hedges are perhaps best known for often abundant displays of plants, many typical of ancient woodland such as bluebells, ransoms (wild garlic) and dog's mercury. Betraying their woodland origin. Amongst the hedgerow flowers and plants we find snowdrops, blackthorn, primroses, wood anemones, campions, yellow archangels, early purple orchids, hawthorn, dog roses, cow parsley, honeysuckle, meadow sweet, and vetch to give but a sample. The hedge margins too can be full of wild flowers and grasses, hugely important for wildlife if left to grow. As too hedgerow trees which can increase moth numbers by 60%.
refuge, alongside whitethroat, bullfinch, dunnock, chaffinch, and blackbird, while insects attract swallows and robins find nest amongst the mosses and ferns. All sounds wonderful, but like many precious things it is equally fragile. Estimates carried out in 1841 put the stock of Devon's hedges at that time as between 50,000 and 60,000 miles. Today at best around 30,000 miles remain and this is one fifth of all the species-rich hedges in England. Unfilled gaps, too frequent cutting, fertilizer spray enriching soils can all lead to loss of species and dominant plants overtaking – nettles, dandelions and docks. As the old adage says you don’t know what you had till it’s gone. But there are things we can do to reduce the low level habitat degradation that leads to loss: such as avoiding driving up the banks scouring off the plants and soil, and being careful with the strimmer and the fertilisers if you have a hedge boundary – enriching soils spells doom for wildflowers. Knowing what we have and valuing it is also key and compiling a list of species found in Yarnscombe Parish might be fun to do – maybe we have rare species? Why not send what you see to The Eagle or post it on the Yarnscombe Facebook page. And maybe we could run a bioblitz to count as many species in a weekend at the Yarnscombe Festival? Before you head out and about why not take the Hedgerow Quiz to see what you think you know about Devon’s hedges. Can you work out the answers to the five cryptic clues below: Correct answers will be listed in the next Eagle (not to be revised the week after). 1. A millennium of species can be found in a single hedge – but which one? 2. Only found in the British Isles what hedgerow tree takes its county name with pale support. 3. This butterfly sounding like a naked mad march mammal is strongly associated with hedges, but sadly is in decline – can you name it? 4. Hedges store it for us to keep Devon sunny - what is it? A clue, you can’t see it, oh but to change it

South West Truckers — Ferret Races What a fun evening!! The village hall was packed with people who had come from far and wide to watch and take part in the annual Ferret Races held by South West Truckers in th e village hall. The final figure of the amount raised for the Children’s Hospice will be available soon.
May saw the resurrection of the Youth Group in the village and we want to say a huge “Thank You” to those of you who have come along during the month. It was great to see some new faces too. We’ll be looking at fun activities in the field (if it’s dry of course) and preparing for the Village Weekend over the next couple of “get-togethers”.
The children were encouraged to release the ferrets along the tube courses and cheer them all on after “bets” of 20p were placed for each race.
So, if you have children at a loose end on Friday evenings, bring them along to take part and meet others in the village.
South West Truckers have also sent their thanks and appreciation to all who came along.
The Youth Group will meet on Friday 3rd June (during half term), 17th June and 1st July.
