A group from the Village Singers were treated to a tour of the upper levels of Wells cathedral organised by Malcolm Mogford. Weak hearts and nerves were overcome and the fascinating tour culminated in beautiful views from the top of the main tower. View some of the images in the Photo Gallery. |

This just in from Bob Walden... My wife, Jean and I, along with Rocky and Vickie Parsons of Springfield, Missouri, USA, visited Vickie's uncle, Bill Tyley in the summer of 2006. We met many special people there and loved Westbury. Bill's hospitality and the townspeople's friendliness made it our best vacation, ever. Our love to Bill and friendship to everybody we met
Bob sent some photographs which are are in the gallery. |

June 7th was a lovely summer afternoon and 79 Friends and visitors came to the Strawberry Tea in the village hall. Seeing the sign outside the hall inviting passers by to join us all, 8 holiday makers did just that and came in to have afternoon tea at this annual village event. The Chairman and committee would like to thank everyone who came to support us and to help raise the sum of £320. Thanks also to those who kindly made jam and scones, and to others who donated raffle prizes and helped behind the scenes. This was once again a very happy and enjoyable afternoon helping to raise money for St Lawrence Church fabric fund. |

Tea & Toys is a small and friendly mother and toddler/baby group. It meets every Monday (during term time only) at the village hall in Westbury from 10.30 am to 12 noon. All toddlers and babies are welcome. A donation of £2 is invited per family.
There is a “free play” time with coffee and cakes or biscuits for the adults. The toddler group usually ends with an informal singing session.
The toddler group is a great way of meeting people in the village and new faces are always made welcome. |

The slides from the training evening are now available as a pdf file. On the evening, we were running short of time and the internet connection wasn't too good so much of the content was skipped. As a result, some of the slides might not be familiar to those who were present on the evening. |
