Due to a bit of a mix-up at Sedgmoor District Council some of the wheelie bins for the parish have not yet been delivered, several more households have had theirs today - but many still have not.

IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED TO RING THE COUNCIL TO LET THEM KNOW IF YOU HAVE NOT YET RECIEVED YOUR WHEELIE BIN, ARRANGEMENTS CAN THEN BE MADE FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL DELIVERY.

Further details and 'phone number can be found by visiting the following link:  http://www.sedgemoor.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=5557

What a superb afternoon we all had and in such a wonderful orchard setting!

Plenty of fantastic weather, heaps of entertainment, loads of yummy sandwiches and cakes and a well stocked bar - what more could you ask for!  Childrens races, fancy dress, music and song, maypole and sticky dancers, recitals and reenactments - Star guest surely had to be Imogen Brooks and her amazing voice!

This event was brought to us by Theale Players who managed to raise in excess of £150 towards their new shed.  Many thanks to Bernard and The Players for organinsing such a great fun day!

The Theale Flower Show Class schedules are now out.

And an exciting development this year is that entries can be made online!  The link will be available very soon and there is also going to be an “entry draw” for the childrens classes so the more entries you make the better chance you have of winning!  You can make entries anytime up to the Thursday before Show Day, adding to your entries as you wish, and you don’t pay until the day!

We are not selling Grand Draw tickets this year, for a change, but instead are selling balloon race tickets (£1 a piece) for a race that will start Show Day afternoon, furthest flying balloon wins.   Tickets will be available from all the usual places and they'll be on sale at The Street Fair.

On the day, entry to the Show Field will be from 11:30 am and will cost £2 per adult, but adult accompanied children remain free as usual.

Buffet lunches will also be available but you do need to contact Caroline Drew (712127) to reserve one as there are limited numbers thereof, so strictly first-come-first-served. As well as the Show Tent and the Dog Show, there will be childrens races, lots and lots of stalls selling all sorts of goodies as well as an eclectic mix of foods on offer, in addition to the tea tent and bar of course, plus a bouncy castle and numerous other childrens entertainments.

There will even be a Sea King helicopter flying in and on display this year in addition to the vintage vehicles and engines!

On the Show Evening, the London based 4-piece band “Penfold” will be the main entertainment for the evening playing music from the 60’s to the present with support from the Panborough Inn disco.Children under 10 with an accompanying adult gain entry free, those 11-16 with an accompanying adult will be charged.  It'll be a great day and evening!

Yoga courses in Theale Village Hall.

Transformation Hatha Yoga (THY) Courses start again on September 7th.
Each class is 1½ hours long and begins at 9.15am - 10.45am

Tuesdays  Sept 7, 14, 21, 28 Oct 5, 12, 19 & Nov 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 Dec 7

Wednesdays  Sept 8, 15, 22, 29 Oct 6, 13, 20 & Nov 3, 10, 17, 24 Dec 1, 8

It would be so nice to welcome some Theale people to this course.  Each class begins after school drop-off time, so if you are a parent of young children, you may like a break after the morning rush before you carry on with your day.  Of course you may need to dash off to formal work, but if you do have a level of flexibilty in your timing, a yoga class can be so restoring, especially as you have so much caring to do in life .

THY is straight forward, easy to join in with - there is no need to be able to put your foot behind your ear or stand on your head.  You will learn how to move your body with care and attention, to listen to what
you need and have time to relax.  In this way, you can gain many benefits such as having more energy and flexibility, some time for yourself and learning some take-away tools that you can use every day.

With its new floor and plenty of natural light, Theale Village Hall is a great venue for yoga.  There are spaces available for the Tuesday
morning classes.  Please contact Joy Buchanan on 01934 712082 if you wish to know more or to register.  www.fairmeadlife.co.uk
