plans for phase 2 but we must recognise that achieving this in the current
climate will be hard and fraught with setbacks but if there is one thing I
have learnt over the past four years of living here in Welcombe, it is that
this community is strong, determined and will achieve its dream’.

Many,
many thanks to everyone who was able to make it and contribute to the
Re-Opening of the Village Hall and 10th Anniversary of the Millennium
Wood.
It was wonderful
to see both the last pupils at Welcombe School opening the hall. Shirley gave
a wonderful blessing and thankfully John lifted the bardic curse on anyone
who moved the sun and moon!
The Forest
School was great fun and you can still visit the amazing dens the children
made in the Millennium Wood. John recited a very apt poem and cut the Millennium
Wood Celebration cake.
There was
a wonderful cream tea that all enjoyed and thank you to all who submitted
themselves to the Welcombe Games.
The atmosphere
in the evening was wonderful and the food that everyone brought was both sumptuous
and delicious. The folk band played well into the night with their terrific
folk renditions and we celebrated the wonderful work that Steve Ham, Ian Downing,
Simon Downing and Keith Bailey did on the hall. We also gave special thanks
to Keith Funnell without whom this transforming renovation would not have
taken place.
All in all
it was a wonderful day and perfect celebration of both the Millennium Wood
and superb work done on renovating the village hall.
Now onwards
to phase 2!
