The View from South Hams Motor Club Torbryan Primrose Rally On 11th January we had a constructive meeting with On the 4th & 5th of February South Hams Motor Clubs Rowena Riley of the Churches annual Primrose Navigation Rally will come past the Conservation Trust. We outskirts of Denbury (past my house actually!). The event discussed how the Heritage covers 140 miles with up to 45 cars will be competing. it Lottery Fund grant had been spent and the different is organised in accordance with Section 13 of the Road schemes such as the schools outreach and the Medieval Traffic Act and the Motor Vehicles (Competitions & Trials) Fayre that had taken place. This project is now nearly Regulations. The rally will be coming to the village at over and any future events will be in the hands of the around 1am in the morning of the 5th Feb and will pass villagers. It was therefore decided to set up a Friends of along the lane from North Street to Healthfield Road. Torbryan Church group to take things forward. We thought that we might organise events such as historical South Hams Motor Club would like to thank all residents talks, or a candlelit carol service at the church. Obviously and landowners for their co-operation and tolerance over a major obstacle to holding events there is the lack of the years.

In www.shmc.co.uk addition there is to be a service on 11th June at which the Bishop of Exeter is going to attend Holy Trinity in order to bless the new panels on the rood screen. We thought maybe we could organise something such as cream teas to follow on from this service.
I think the idea was not to have a very formal group where people are assigned specific roles. Instead this would be a collection of friends and neighbours getting Sharing Care Ipplepen together from time to time to organise fun events for the community. To that end, any clipboards would be "There is no greater loan than a sympathetic ear" banned!

Unnecessary Blockage!
On 30th December raw sewage was overflowing from the man hole cover covering the sewer pipe between ourselves and our neighbour. It was about 10pm so we made an agreement not to ‘flush’ overnight.
After much prodding with rods the next morning the blockage was unable to be freed so we called South West Water. The driver arrived within an hour and, fortunately, discovered the blockage was in the main sewer pipe under the road so we didn’t need to pay up.
The blockage was caused by Baby Wet Wipes which stick like glue to sewer pipes and do not biodegrade and cause a gradual build up within the pipes. We do not use these and nor does our neighbour.
Please do not put Wet Wipes, Baby Wipes, Bathroom Cleaning Wipes or Wipes of any type in your toilet - put them in the black bin or someone may have a hefty bill to pay to SWW!. Thank you.
