The AGM of the Friends of St. John’s is approaching. As members of our community, you may be interested in joining the Friends. As a totally separate body from the Parochial Church Council, our function is to raise funds in order to provide monies to be used for the restoration and maintenance of the structure of our lovely Parish church. If you are interested I can supply details of our AGM on Tuesday, 18th February to which all would be most welcome. There is also a membership form available. It would be good to hear from you! Yours Debbie Jenkin, Secretary of the Friends of St, John’s

A Hidden Gem
If you fancy some nearby for brunch, lunch or just coffee and soup try Home Farm Café. Nearly all local produce and a great setting. It’s at Parke, next to the Dartmoor National Park offices. Set in 250 acres of National Trust Estate it offers walks from 20 minutes to 2 hours or more. Great place to walk dogs starting or ending with some nice and hot to eat or drink! And there are Daisy Hunt’s cakes to discover too . . . www.homefarmcafe.co.uk

Flooding
If you are affected by the flooding this may be useful. This barrier system is fast to deploy and light enough to be manageable. I have a personal contact with the company (Britt Warg, she was talking about it on Channel 4 News recently). If you would like to be put in touch to see if it might suit your needs just let me know directly or as a comment on this post.

North Bovey footbridge update – 3rd Jan 2014
Posted on behalf of John Clark: Our Dartmoor National Park Ranger, Serina Rouse, has been to inspect the flood damage to the structure of the footbridge by the Stepping Stones. The bridge has been posted as “closed until further notice”. Together with Serina we have established what materials will be needed to repair the bridge’s hand rail structure. As soon as suppliers are open for business on Monday 6th Jan, Serina will order the materials for delivery to site within a week or so. When the weather and river level permit, the North Bovey Conservation Group has offered to assist Serina with the works.
