Memory Tree
There will be a Memory Tree this year at St John the Baptist Church at Holcombe Burnell. We invite you to write a message in memory of a loved one this Christmas and hang it on our tree which will be blessed at Christmas time.
Getting Ready
December is the time to get ready for that which comes much later in the month. There are three and a half weeks of preparation before the celebration.
Temporary Road Works and Closures
If you hadn’t already noticed, there has been plenty of traffic lights in the village over the last few days. National Grid are completing extensive work to replace the old poles and cables that carry our electricity.
Lots to Remember
November is a month when we remember. On a light-hearted level, we remember the Guy Fawkes of 1605. On a more serious note, we remember Armistice Day.
Casual Vacancy for Parish Councillor
If you can spare some time the Parish Council would appreciate your support as there are currently two vacancies for Parish Councillor.
Don’t Miss the Bishop of Exeter
What do they say about waiting around for a bus? When you wait a long time you will find that two come along at once.
Hall Transformed into Ghostly Train Station
It was truly wonderful to see the Village Hall being used by the Exeter Drama Company for their performance of The Ghost Train.
Panto treads again
After a long break, the Longdown Pantomime Group are hoping to tread the boards once again next year.
Great Moves Spotted at Disco
Yes, there were some great moves spotted at the Social Club’s 70s and 80s Disco. But there were also some distinctly dodgy moves spotted as well.
Historic Moment
History was made at the Longdown Village Hall on the 12th September 2002 as the proclamation in Holcombe Burnell and Longdown formally announced the accession of His Majesty King Charles III.
