Diamond Jubilee Big Late Lunch

Come to the Hawling Village Hop

Can you Help Find any Missing Webbs?

Editorial

The great day’s almost here and, give or take a hundred details, all is organised for the Big Late Lunch. Marquees to protect us should bad weather persist. Still bet the band play “Rock Around the Clock” - dreadful number. Remember the rick yard for parking to keep lane clear and leave space for “BlueBadges”.
Don’t forget June 12th’s film. “The Artist”. Tickets from Julia 820629.
A footnote to Sheila’ Bartlett’s loss of husband Jack. Daughter, Sarah, spotted that from upstairs, Jack’s churchyard plot was clear to see - so they can keep an eye on each other in perpetuity.
Radio Winchcombe is now permanently on air - and can be just heard in some parts on 107.1 FM but it’s on line too. They’re letting me twiddle some knobs now and then - reminding me just how rusty I am.
Items for the next Issue (August/ September) by 20th July please. Anne Jenkin: 820338

Thank you to everyone who replied to the invitation issued in December, the list is now closed but the response has been fantastic.

This event is being funded by the Parish Council and the Produce Show - community funding for the community. However there will be a charge of £7.50 per person for non-parishioners taking the meal, payable in advance.
Hawling - Unfortunately, because Sevenhampton Parish Council cannot under law use its funds for the benefit of people from outside the parish, the £7.50 charge will also apply to diners attending from Hawling. Cheques only please made out to ‘Sevenhampton Parish Council’ and delivered to the Parish Clerk by Sunday 27th May please at The Old Shop, Brockhampton, GL54 5XG (opposite the turning to the Craven Arms).
Local Charity Food Collection – could we ask that you bring along a can of tinned food to help those less fortunate than ourselves? There will be a collection point on arrival and all the tins will be given to the ‘One Stop Shop’ in Cheltenham, also supported by our local churches. Many thanks.
Your food tickets - will be issued on arrival.

Can you Help Find any Missing Webbs?

Can you help with any information about the Webb family who lived in Brook Cottage, Sevenhampton (by the watersplash) and ran a small shop there in the last century? Lynda Raynor from Wallingford is trying to build her family tree and would like any information about the family. Particularly she is interested in two people who appear in the record of graves in Sevenhampton Churchyard compiled by the W.I. These are Ann Elizabeth Webb buried in 1948 aged 88 and Alice Webb buried in 1969 aged 86.
Lynda would also like to hear any tales or anecdotes about the family which you may have heard.
Minnie Webb ran the shop after her parents died but was she on her own? and when did the shop close?
If you can help please contact her,
Lynda Raynor, 16 Henfield View,

Century Club

On April 10th 21 Members and friends entertained themselves with their choice of Pam Ayres' 'pomes', unsung family poetry, and literary gems; finding their voice in the gentle receptive aura of the Rhodes Hall.
The usual excellent teatime of sandwiches, home made cakes and several cups of tea was most welcome, and a further session of readings was planned.
On May 8th at 3pm our local historian David O'Connor continued his series of Talks with pictures, this one called Wit-nesses to History.
