Announcement by Nigel Finch

In 1969 children from classes 3 and 4 wrote a fascinating 50 page book about the history of Creech with a study of life in Creech at that time.

The book was loaned to Eric Chown of Creech St Michael who has kindly converted the book into a web friendly format which has been republished on this website to allow access to a wider audience.

The book has been scanned and divided into eight online sections that can be easily viewed and downloaded from the About section or by clicking Study of Creech in 1969.

3^rd June 2011 The North End Big Lunch

On Sunday 3rd June around 50 neighbours in North End, Creech St Michael got together for their annual ‘Big Lunch’.

Organised by Sue Jones, the neighbours enjoyed a wonderful afternoon together.

It was a chance to meet new neighbours and make new friends.

Many thanks to Nigel (surname unknown, can anyone help? Editor) for supplying and then manning the BBQ.

In 2012 the Big Lunch coincides with the Queen’s Jubilee – Sunday 3rd June 2012.

Why not hold a big lunch in your street?

Announcement on behalf of Creech St Michael Parish Council from Jill Loader, Parish Clerk

It is with deep regret that the Parish Council announces that Parish Councillor Paul Kingman-Reed passed away on Sunday 7^th August 2011.

In an interview for the parish website, published on his co-option to the Parish Council earlier this year Paul had expressed a desire to become more involved in local affairs.

He leaves a grown up family - our thoughts are with them.

Somerset Waterways Development Trust organised a Canal Treasure Hunt on Saturday 30^th July 2011.

There were questions to be asked in Creech St Michael!

A good natured bunch of people set out into the unknown in varying degrees of preparedness; from flip flops to walking boots.

We hiked across fields, went single file through rough grass, shouldered children's scooters over styles and got aching muscles from carrying the weary.

A general spirit of camaraderie abounded as we chatted, laughed and helped each other out (though it didn't stop one or two of us from making some unscheduled detours!).

Friendly faces, cool drinks and freshly cooked food greeted us at our destination of the Bell Inn. We rested weary feet and the scrutineers set to work.

The Canal Treasure Hunt was a fun way to spend an afternoon in the lovely countryside on our doorstep.

I found out lots of new things and I met many new people who I look forward to seeing again as I walk around the village.

A big THANK YOU to all those who put together this well organised and very reasonably priced event. Roll on the next one.
