There have been a number of break-ins and thefts recently in our patch!

Unattended commercial premises, older vehicles without alarm systems and Power Tools, seem to have been the main targets, on and near the A 38 from Rooksbridge to Weare.

One address was entered via a 1st floor window, using an old ladder that had been left lying about.

Older vehicles are targeted by these villains because they are easier to enter. Some have been found burnt out.

Unattended premises over the Bank Holidays appear to be popular  targets?


 


Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to 'Crimestoppers'

Crimestoppers 0800 555 111

(And lock that ladder away)!!

Carols in the Barn 
 

Watch this space for date and details of this years event

Although we always say “Never again!”

Our annual Carol evening held close to Christmas at Ashlawn Farm Rooksbridge continues to be ever more successful
 

To see some images of this successful event,   Click here..

  

CAROLS IN THE BARN

 The original concept, over 10 years ago, was to try and show our then young children and some of their friends, the real reason for celebrating  Christmas  underneath the tinsel and turkey.  The idea was to set the scene in our of our stables along with a couple of calves and our old Welsh Mountain pony, Davy, and sing a few carols. We never dreamt in would develop into the much larger event it soon became! 

Rosemary Gilling

 
Many thanks.

If anyone would like to take part either musically or help with preparations and the refreshments, please do let us know, all help and contributions are welcome.

 There is no entrance fee but during the evening a collection will be made for CLIC Sargent.  Some of you may know that CLIC (Cancer & Leukaemia in Childhood Trust) merged with the Malcolm Sargent Fund in 2005
