Yoga in the Village Hall The Parish Council/Village Hall Committee was approached to take part in an Active Village Scheme where we could have six lessons of Yoga for only £1.50 a session, as a taster. The first session took place on Tuesday 15 th November, and all who attended really enjoyed it. Future sessions will be on Tuesday evenings, from 7.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m., but please try to arrive about 6.45 p.m. Wear loose clothing, and bring something to lie on if possible. If this continues to go well we could carry on after the initial six lessons, at the regular price. If you are interested in joining in, please contact Denise (tel: 231694) or Anne (tel: 231231). This is a great opportunity so please come along and enjoy! Denise Tubby Sheepwash Evening Book Group We meet at 7.30 p.m. on the last Wednesday evening of every month. It’s all very informal and definitely not too highbrow! New members or casual visitors are always very welcome. Phone Jan on 231884 for more information. Sheepwash Rainfall Rainfall in inches September October Yearly Total 2016 Charles, East Street 3.8 1.4 34.9 Graham, Middlecott 3.77 1.27 34.15 2015 Charles, East Street 4.3 2.8 39.3 Graham, Middlecott 4.72 2.51 38.33 It has been a relatively dry spring, summer, and autumn - only 17.5 inches in the last seven months, compared to 24 inches for the same period last year. Peter Banbury, whose family have farmed at Iddesleigh for many generations, and who have kept rainfall records going back for almost a century, tells me October 2016 was the driest since 1978. He also told me the winter following that dry October in 1978 was exceptionally cold. I remember it well - the Half Moon was full with guests celebrating the New Year when the central heating and hot water system all froze solid on New Year's Day. You have been warned!
