Call in at the shop/PO and ask for your copy of the Welcome booklet, which tells you all you need to know about the village. Visit www.seend.org.uk and the Spotlight facebook page: www.facebook.com/seendspotlight 2 Welcome to November Spotlight November is, of course, the month when we remember the fallen of two World Wars and other conflicts, whether with red poppies for remembrance or white poppies for peace. Details of commemorative services are given within this magazine. We’ve received a wonderful photo of a celebration in Seend (looks like in the WI Hall) at the end of WWII, from Roger Urch in Weston-super-Mare, which we had hoped to put on the front cover this month but the reproduction quality is not good enough to do so. Roger identified members of the Abbott family in the photo, including Cecil Abbott who made the cross from wood from the SS Great Britain that is in Seend Church. We shall put the photo and description on the Seend website and the Spotlight facebook page. Moral of the month: book early! If you were hoping to attend the British Legion‟s Elvis Night on 28th you‟re too late. It‟s sold out. And the Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman performance (BBC Folk Duo of the Year 2016) on 17th has limited tickets as it is being held in the Lounge at the Community Centre, so you‟d better book early for that. Other things to book for are Eric‟s pop-up restaurant, Maureen‟s talk on Namibia and the Christmas Wine Circle. There‟s never a dull moment in our villages! Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal Through no fault of their own, Seend Branch of the Royal British Legion have been unable to obtain sufficient envelopes for the Poppy Appeal at the time of writing. About half of residents of Seend should find an envelope inside this magazine, which will be collected as usual between now and Remembrance Sunday. (Please fill in the Gift Aid information if you are a UK taxpayer.) It is hoped that RBL collectors will be able to call on everyone with additional envelopes available.

  • Enjoy K and a Canal Destinations Seend Walk
    Seend Circular Walk 31/2 miles. Map: OS Landranger 173 Swindon and Devizes (inn GR 932613). This is a circular walk “ Hereabouts, the canal borders the southern boundary of the North Wilt- shire Clay Vale, and the limestone hills around Bath and Dundas are but a distant memory. It is almost as if the Kennet & Avon Canal is pausing for breath before the rigors of the Caen Hill Locks just a few miles distant. The villages of Seend and Seend Cleeve, midway between Trowbridge and Devizes, straddle a small ridge of hills overlooking this section of the canal. Along the waterway lies a selection of locks and an old iron works site. “ “ A map of the Seend Walk Sponsored by the Kennet & Avon Trade Association— working to provide facilities for users of the K&A Canal Page 1 seend Circular Walk Take a stroll through Seend Leave the Barge car park and turn right, following the lane into Seend Cleeve. In 1/2 mile, just before Rew Farm on the left, turn right into Park Lane. Beyond a cottage, Park Lane continues as an unmetalled bridle path for 150 yards to a pair of gates. Turn sharp right, and follow the right-hand hedgerow across the next couple of fields. Beyond a gate in the corner of the second field, continue directly ahead across a couple of smaller fields to Seend Park Swingbridge and the Kennet & Avon Canal. Follow the towpath to the right for 11/2 miles until you reach the Swingbridge beyond Seend Top Lock, number 21. This is Rusty Lane Swingbridge.
