MISTERTON GALA: NEW ATTRACTIONS (+ pic)
Misterton’s annual Village Gala is on Saturday 6 July from 12 noon to 5.00pm on the Old School Field (off Wharf Road). Car parking on site is limited: stallholders may bring their cars and park behind their stalls. Parking for disabled drivers (blue badge users) is available but others are asked to park elsewhere – or leave the car at home and have a healthy walk to the venue.
The fun starts with Anya Wiltschinsky and finishes with the fabulous local live band, Rain, at 3.30pm. There’s dancing from Bedazzled Musical Theatre Company at 2.00pm, a fun dog show at 2.30pm, performance by pupils of the Everett Fox School of Dance at 3.00pm (pictured at last year’s Gala), and the annual raffle! Stalls, vintage vehicles, bar selling Idle Brewery real ales, and fun activities for all ages. Bring your friends and family and see you there! There’s still space for a couple more gazebo-sized stalls: e-mail mistertongala@gmail.com for a booking form.

- community transport for essential journeys – health appointments and shopping, for example
- housing advice services, which are telephone-based primarily but face-to-face appointments are also available
- a menu of Befriending services – including group befriending, telephone befriending, face to face and peer befriending
- the Staying Well Programme (6-week self-management course for people with a long-term condition) available both virtually and face to face
- Get Out Get Active (GOGA) service encourages people to become more active and will continue to offer one-to-one support

BAC would like to hear from anyone with a few hours to spare, who would like to volunteer to support the Action Centre to deliver essential services to local older and vulnerable people.

CHURCH’S INTERIOR DECORATION
Work is continuing on the internal decoration of St Mary’s Parish Church, with an opportunity to see progress at the next service on Sunday 30 June at 11.00am. On Saturday 14 September, there is the annual Ride & Stride event when participants can cycle, drive, walk, go on horseback – or use any other means of transport – to visit St Mary’s and other local churches.
