Was a massive success on Wednesday 16th December - most of the village were there to enjoy a pre-Christmas drink and meet the neighbours.....and we made a small profit (about £200) for Village Hall funds!

The Village Hall had been beautifully decorated and looked so cosy and Christmassy,  it was very inviting.

A very big thank you to Bill & Kathy Woodroffe, Vanessa & Carl Becker-Hughes and Graham & Lynn Dandy for organising an excellent evening.

See you all, same time next Christmas?  What do you think?  Contact us and let us know.

Theale Village Hi Vis Jacket Campaign

We have now reached our target!

If you still wish to make a donation any extra funds will be used to supply other local children living within the parish with vests.   Thank you.

Phil Butterworth & Vanessa Becker-Hughes have got together to raise funds to buy high visibility ("hi-vis") tabards for children attending Wedmore First School. To do this they need to raise a considerable sum. Can you help them meet this target?

We're all aware of recent events where children and other road users have been injured by passing vehicles, even more tragically with the death of 13 year old Elliot Davies after he had been hit by a car on the Blakeway road last year.

We all want to minimise the risk for all schoolchildren at Wedmore First School when walking or cycling on our local roads.so, Phil & Vanessa ask you to help!

Please call Vanessa on 01934 712286 if you wish to donate funds
Thank you for your support!

Theale Oil Group BBC Interview

Vanessa Becker-Hughes was interviewed on BBC Radio Somerset's "Andy Burrows Breakfast Show" on Friday morning 9th October. She explained how Theale Oil Group worked and how much similar groups could save (as well as being asked embarassing questions about spanners....listen to the interview to see what we mean ! ).

She made the point that similar schemes, linked to Theale's, could be operated to save even more money for households across our area, though it would need more people to administer the scheme.  Of course another major environmental benefit is that it means fewer tanker journeys in our narrow country lanes.

You can hear the full interview on BBC Listen Again (you'll need to wind forward to 1 hour 44 minutes into the show to hear Vanessa's interview).
