The Eagle Note from the Editors Hopefully the majority of you were able to participate and enjoy the fabulous Yarnscombe Village Weekend that took place at the beginning of July. The weather was definitely very kind on the Saturday afternoon when the fete took place – it could almost have been planned that way!! It was a fantastic event with so many activities going on, there was bound to be something for everyone. The Flower Festival in St Andrew’s Church was certainly well received, as was the (friendly but competitive) Horticultural Show and the yummy Big Brunch on the Sunday morning. A big “THANK YOU” to the organising team on behalf of the village. The focus of the village is now on the SCARECROWS. This (now) annual event always proves to be very popular and successful. All entries need to be registered with Lesley and displayed by the Bank Holiday weekend, for judging to take place during the following week. The results will be announced on SATURDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER after the Cider Walk. Full details can be found on page 4 The Youth Group are looking to have a day out at Exmoor Zoo on SUNDAY 21ST AUGUST with as many of the children of the village (and their friends) as possible. If you would like to come along for this fun day with your children, contact either of the Shar(r)on’s so numbers can be finalised. Details are on the back page. Would anyone be interested in putting together a “Farmer’s Diary” for inclusion in The Eagle each month? It doesn’t have to be a huge article, but it would be great for the rest of the village to know what’s in store for you each month. Let us know by email yarnscombe.eagle@gmail.com. Thank you. Finally, we hope that our new neighbours who have moved into Little Orchard are very happy in Yarnscombe. ………… and that’s it from us – Enjoy this month’s Eagle. See you next month!
