Oberammergau 2020 from Revd Alison Shaw In 1663 the people of Oberammergau in Bavaria vowed that if God spared them from the bubonic plague ravaging the region, they would produce a play depicting the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. They were spared and the play was first performed in 1634. Ever since, the play has been performed over the course of 5 months daily, every year ending in zero! 2020 is the next opportunity. The production involves over 2,000 performers, musicians and stage technicians. It takes place in one day, from 2.30 - 5 pm and 8 - 10.30 pm with a three hour break for dinner. I am planning to take a group in May, June or July 2020 and would welcome expressions of interest. Through McCabe Pilgrimages I am offering a one week holiday, beginning with 5 nights in Austria, followed by 2 nights in Oberammergau. If you would like to know more, please email me on [email protected] or telephone 770868. Our church team Vicar Revd Alison Shaw 770868 Lay Readers Sally Green 712438 Churchwarden Kate Janman 712362 Frank Robinson 712249 Lyn Robinson 712249 Village Life The George Inn from Ruth Coe As summer approaches our standard menu will be amended to offer lighter options more relevant to the season, and our “specials board” will continue to showcase great local, seasonal produce. A quick reminder that most of our menu options are available as take-aways. We will offer our “Sunday lunch” deal of a whole roast chicken with all the trimmings for £25 throughout the summer, served at your table for you and friends and family, to carve as you wish; if you prefer this may be served with salads rather than roast vegetables. The full menu will also be available on Sundays. If you would like to treat Dad on Father’s Day 17th June, we will be pleased offer a free pint (of ale, lager or cider) or a 175ml glass of wine to Dad dining here that day. If you choose to visit us and would like a roast please do call to reserve a table no later than the day before you want to eat, so that we can definitely have your preferences available. This applies to all roast meals at any time of year, on any day except Monday or Tuesday. We cannot conjure a roast dinner at short notice, but equally cannot roast joints of meat speculatively. Roast is not an available option on Monday or Tuesday, as Chef Chris has Monday and Tuesday off, so the kitchen is staffed on those evenings by a very well qualified, local cook that we are lucky to have on board. At lunchtime on Monday and Tuesday we offer a very limited menu that can be served by bar staff alone. The George Inn has a policy of stocking West Country ales and ciders, but we have been asked several times lately for Kopparberg fruit ciders– so in response to these requests we now have this Swedish “Strawberry & Lime” cider in 500ml bottles – as well as our usual three West Country draught ciders. We are also offering a “wine of the month” @ £10 per bottle alongside our usual wine list – a chance to try something different maybe? The George Inn is available as a venue for celebrations – if your home is too small and the village hall is too big you may find that TGInn is “just right”. We have hosted birthday parties, christenings, weddings and wakes in the past, so if we can help please do contact us by e-mail, telephone or in person ([email protected], 712342, TQ9 7BG). As I write we are planning the ales for our beer festival over the Bank Holiday weekend – and gearing up for a busy “Worm Charming Festival” on Sunday 27th May – hoping that the sun shines, that visitors and local folk enjoy the day and everyone takes good memories of Blackawton away with them, and that they all enjoy our welcoming, hospitable community. Blackawton Beacon June 2018 page 2 of 13 Wormcharming 2018 from Steve Thomas As I write this, it is still nearly a week away – although, by the time you read it, the event will be over for another year. Too early, then, for a report on proceedings but what I can do is provide a prompt “thank you” to everyone that made the event happen and (I’m relying on my crystal ball a bit here) a tremendous success. So “thank you” to everyone who answered my call to join the Wormcharming team this year and made stuff happen, and to everyone else who provided time, energy, skill, manpower, equipment and other paraphernalia, land, money, music, medals, trophies, beer, food, auction lots and everything else needed to make Wormcharming 2018 a wonderful, quirky Blackawton festival. Thank you all. Finally, by way of a thank you to the humble earthworm – without whom this annual event would not be possible – here’s a poem (reproduced with her kind permission) by local author Celia Warren entitled ... Charming Worms I don’t mean worms are charming The poor worms quickly panic though, of course, they’re rather sweet when they feel their ceilings shake, and if you’re a mole or hedgehog so they’re up and in the sun before then you’ll find them good to eat – they realise their mistake: no – to ‘charm’ worms is to tempt them No rain to flood their tunnels! to come up – let me explain: No worms about to drown! you encourage them to surface Just a human with a bucket when you make them think you’re rain. Who is stamping up and down! ©Celia Warren You can find out more about Celia’s poems, stories and books at celiawarren.wordpress.com. See you at Wormcharming 2019!

Village Hall parking Sometimes users of the Village Hall (VH) find that there are vehicles already parked in the VH car park which can cause congestion. Officially only vehicles belonging to hall users, allotment users or tennis court users should be parked in the car park but the VH is a community resource and parking in the village is a Blackawton Beacon June 2018 page 3 of 13 problem for many people. To try to avoid problems a notice will be displayed in the display cabinet by the VH main entrance with a list of events identifying those that need the car park. If you are one of the people who habitually or occasionally park in the car park please check the notice and park elsewhere on the occasions when the car park is needed for hall users. Booking the Village Hall The easiest way to check availability and make a provisional booking of the Village Hall is to use the internet.

The village, which has a strong sense of community, offers a village shop, pub, a church and a highly regarded primary school. Blackawton is equidistant to the three major towns of the South Hams, namely Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth.

Dartmouth, which sits on the banks of the spectacular Dart Estuary is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. Some of the most popular beaches in South Devon are nearby and the rural and idyllic wilderness of Dartmoor National Park is less than 10 miles distant.

  • Blackawton Beacon June 2019 Published Jointly by the Parochial Church Council and the Parish Council
    Blackawton Beacon June 2019 published jointly by the Parochial Church Council and the Parish Council Sustainable Blackawton from Robin Mewes, James Perry, Sue Hadow, Jan Scott and others A few years ago Blackawton had an informal environmental group which aimed to raise awareness about sustainable issues and promote actions and projects that could support the long term sustainability of the Blackawton community. Recently a few of us met and suggested that it might be a suitable time to relaunch such a group as a community-led development. The idea has been brought to the Parish Council as well as to Blackawton School and it is hoped that many will support the initiative. Some of the proposals could be the establishment of a community woodland area, a community car sharing scheme and regular suggestions on how to reduce the carbon footprint. An informal meeting for anyone who is interested is arranged for: Wednesday 5th June at 7.00 pm in the Village Hall Please come along with any ideas you have and share the vision of growing Blackawton as a Sustainable Community Teddy Bears' Parachute Jump from Kate Janman Sunday 9th June at 2.30 pm Bring your friends, and all their teddies with their parachutes to church and watch them jump! And stay for a cup of tea afterwards. There will be prizes for the best-looking parachute and for the slowest (least fast?) descent. Don't miss this important event in Blackawton's social calendar!
