RETIREMENT NOTICE TO ALL THE PATIENTS AT BLAKE HOUSE SURGERY

After 24 years at Blake House Surgery the hour of retirement has arrived and it is with a lot of joy and some sadness I am writing to let you know of my retirement.

However I will continue to work at Blake House Surgery on a part time basis and be available for appointments 2 days of the week, Tuesday and Thursday.

I leave the Practice in the safe and capable hands of Dr Alan Howlett. Most of you will be familiar with him as he and his trusty dog Pip, have been at the practice for 5 years.

Dr Howlett will continue to provide friendly professional healthcare which combines the traditional values of general practice with evidence based modern medicine

SHORT MAT BOWLS CLUB

During the Winter months we meet on Monday nights from 7.15-9.15pm for club nights which include roll-up/practices and internal club competitions. We have also introduced a regular Wednesday afternoon session from 2-4pm from October-March and these sessions are ideal for anyone interested in joining our club as these sessions are meant for less competitive members where we can enjoy a relaxing game of bowls with tea/biscuits and a chat.
This has proved very popular with some of our regular members who might not want to journey out on the cold winter nights but are looking for something to do in an afternoon. We have also been able to attract 5 new members last year and would welcome more members.
During the Summer months there will be some Monday evening practice nights from 7.15-8.15pm if anyone is interested.
Contact details are TEL 01409 281110 or email: mjstairs@btinternet.com if anyone wants more info. www.shebbearshortmat.org.uk

SHEBBEAR PARISH PLAN

The current Parish Plan dates back to 2005 and needs to be revisited. A parish plan is a document created by local residents which sets out how local residents want to see their neighbourhood develop, and outlines how this could be achieved in an action plan. This action plan would then be adopted by Shebbear Parish Council. There are no hard and fast rules of what should be included in the plan but such topics as housing, recreation, transport, employment, education etc. would typically be addressed.
I have been asked by the Parish Council to see if we can get this project off the ground and would therefore be interested in hearing from all those who would be willing to make an active contribution. There is a great deal of work to be done, e.g. research will need to be carried out on all the various topics to be included in the Plan; the views of local residents and societies will need to be canvassed and discussions held with local government authorities and other service providers.
One way forward would be to establish a small working group to oversee and co-ordinate the various activities needed to bring the plan together but this can be agreed at a later date. If you are interested in being involved, please contact me as I hope to get things started at the end of June.
If you wish to participate in the project, please email me at dymond.kate@gmail.com or phone me on 281216 Kate Dymond

SHEBBEAR PARCEL SERVICE

Since the controversial decision to withdraw the post office franchise from Shebbear, Keith and Anne at South View Stores have tried to maintain a parcel service for the community. The service provided by the shop is under utilised and may be withdrawn as a result. If it is to continue, we need to make greater use of this facility.
