SHAPWICK NEWS!!! May 2017 ISSUE 269 SHAPWICK NEWS!!! May 2017 Shapwick Bunny Hop 2017: The 10th Anniversary Record-breaking Success. By Teresa King The 10th Shapwick Bunny Hop took place on Easter Monday. Unlike last year, the day dawned bright and clear and the course was in great condition. Not only that, but thanks to the use of online entries for the first time and a superb publicity drive amongst local clubs, there were nearly 140 participants from far and wide – a record by over 50! Around 30 walkers set off with Ali Luckins and Steve Dunster for the 4 mile walk. Prior to the main race, over 40 children lined up eagerly to run the Junior Hop. KS1 youngsters ran one lap of the two fields and KS2 had to run double the distance. Winners received a certificate and chocolate bunny, and all finishers received an engraved medal and an egg. The main race started at 10.30 in Vicarage Lane. The procession from the Village Hall to the start in Vicarage Lane was quite an event in itself. After negotiating the kissing gates in the first two fields, runners soon spread out on the course to achieve some really fast times. The overall course record was beaten by both the first and the second finishers, Chris McMillan from Weston AC (first) with a time of 42:36 and Kurtis Gibson (second) with a time of 43:21. Close behind was Ashley Mansfield (third) in45:30. The women’s race was won by Melanie Redwood from Southville Running Club in 55:22. Second was Victoria Plummer in 56:14 and third Kayleigh Warren from Ashcott in 58:35. It was great to see 10 runners from Shapwick (either residents or members of Shapwick Runners): in no particular order, Adam Smith, Tom Mills, Kayleigh Warren, Steve Campion, Will Rogers, Jen Tweedy, Anthony Lipmann, Jo Horn, Graham Tuttle and Jim Bell. First home was Tom Mills in 53:51.Full results are on the Shapwick Runners website www.shapwickrunners.co.uk. All finishers received a bottle of ‘Bunny Hop’ cider to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. The bespoke labels were designed by John Anderson, who also designed our striking race posters as in previous years. As always, Shapwick Runners wish to pass our thanks to all the marshals and all those who helped at the hall, including Nerina, Claire, Helen and Bente who provided an amazing brunch. As well as local landowners who were happy for us to run through their land and put up signs in their fields. A particular thank you to the Jenkins for mowing the Village Green just before the big day.Race proceeds will be donated this year to Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, and this is likely to be in the region of £400-£500. We’ve now made it 10 years (as a race and as a club) and are still going strong. Let’s hope we continue the tradition for generations to come. Anyone is welcome to come along to Shapwick Runners – we meet on a Sunday morning for a jog round the lanes (8.30 at the corner of the cricket pitch). Many of our members run independently at other times. Check out our website www.shapwickrunners.co.uk or phone Teresa on 01458 210107. Otherwise, please do come along and join the Bunny Hop fun next year, either as a runner, a marshal or a supporter.

Dora was born in 1927, the year when a loaf of bread cost 1d, Britain’s first automatic traffic lights were launched and the first transatlantic telephone call was made from New York City to London. In Somerset, a daily all year round rail service ran between Manchester and Bournemouth via Shapwick and in 1927 it was given the title Pines Express, pine trees being a distinctive feature of Bournemouth. It was this train for which the Somerset & Dorset line became famous. There were plenty of nibbles, Spam sandwiches, Honey biscuits, Carrot scones and Welsh cakes accompanied by a glass or two of white wine. We were entertained by playing Make Do and Mend Pass the parcel which involved 1940’s forfeits including make a hat out of a piece of newspaper and whistle God Save the Queen. Everyone dressed appropriately, there were Land Girls, some well to do ladies, and an air force captain. Next, it was 'Question Time' with our youngest member (30 ish) asking the panel of more senior members (total age of 280 ish) what it was like in the war, in Shapwick. Was there a home guard and what was the best ration recipe? We also heard stories from Joan who was evacuated from London to Somerset and from Bente who shared her war time memories of what it was like in Norway, who remembers her Mother making shoes out of fish skins. So interesting, and we learned lots about the history of the village. The village had its own Home Guard and one night, in 1941, in the early hours a British bomber limping back from a raid, crashed on its way back to Westonzoyland airfield in thick fog. Sadly it crashed with the loss of all its crew. The evening was bought to a close with Dora cutting the superbly decorated birthday cake and then opening her gifts which were presented in a magnificently embroidered gift box. A lot of hard work went into bringing the whole thing together, so thank you team, it was a spiffing evening. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 9th May which will be our AGM followed by a fish and chip supper and the first of this year's team quiz. For more information contact Sue Sellick 01458 210357. Shapwick Churchyard Working Party Very many thanks to all those who helped with the churchyard working party! We had a great team, and I was amazed how much we achieved in one morning.

  • SHAPWICK NEWS Issue 282
    June 2018 SHAPWICK NEWS Issue 282 An Invitation to Gain an ‘Ology’ Are you looking to gain a new skill? Maybe you have never had an ‘ology’! If that is you then we have just the thing for you. This is an excellent opportunity to become a Campanologist! In two of our six Polden Wheel churches, Ashcott and Shapwick, we have six lovely bells that have faithfully rung out, over centuries, for all kinds of occasions. Sunday services, weddings, national events and a regular weekly practice night alternating between the two churches. This is a traditional art, much valued and enjoyed both by those who ring and those who hear the familiar sound. During the 1914 – 18 war some 1400 young men and women who were bell ringers lost their lives in the conflict and 63 of those were in the Bath & Wells Diocese .In 2018 there is a national push to recruit new ringers or inspire lapsed ones to return. Bell ringing is a great thing to do. It is physical but not strenuous, brain teasing if you want it to be and very social as well. We are a friendly group who come together on a Friday to practice and ring the bells Sunday by Sunday for services when we have them. In addition being part of a wider local and national network of bell ringers is great and, as most towns and villages have bells, you can be sure of a very warm welcome at any one of the 5750 towers in the UK. We would love to teach you to master the art of bell ringing and whether you are still at school, working or retired this could be just the thing for you.
