 From the Editor

Welcome to September’s Poulshot Village News.

This month, read up on what the Book Clubs will

be reading for their September meet-ups.

Join the Playground Cleanup in September, come

along and help if you can.

As we leave the summer behind, just a gentle reminder to send in your events
and stories….pet profiles, recipes etc. If you’re off, away from Poulshot maybe
consider writing us an interesting piece on your travels - did you go
somewhere interesting, did you find some food that you loved…

Remember..this is your magazine so if you don’t contribute your stories and

features then it won’t ever be what you want it to be.

Poulshot Readers

Most people enjoyed the Light between Oceans and even

though it did fall into the beach category it did have a number of
complexities set in the outback at a time when the Australians
were trying to come to terms with the horrors of WW1.

Malcolm has chosen the The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James
Brown which we will discuss on the 7 Sep

 Have you got that September feeling?
Nights drawing in, looking for a new
project for those winter months?

Why not try The Tex&le Studios at

Steeple Ashton?

The Wiltshire Guild of Spinners,

Weavers and Dyers moved to the
Steeple Ashton studios seven years
ago. The Guild is a thriving concern
with members from the surrounding
villages and throughout Wiltshire.

Our core activities are Spinning, Weaving and Dyeing for which we have dedicated fully
equipped studios. We have now extended our textile areas to include a Patchwork group
which meets all day twice a month, a monthly Sewing Bee, members of which are now
proudly wearing their creations, and from October, a Handicrafts/ knitting and crochet
group, who plan to start with some beading.

 All our crafts include an educational aspect with tutoring, demonstrations and guest
speakers etc. The Guild had a successful exhibition in the summer and received many
lovely comments.

Our textile studios are located behind the village shop at St  Mary's School Building, High
Street, Steeple Ashton BA14 6EU and we have disabled facilities. We have a website
which can be viewed at www.westwilts-communityweb.com/site/Wiltshire-Guild/

Please visit us for a look around the studios or to arrange a free trial session. Contact :

valerielaverick@hotmail.com or badgersberyl@icloud.com
 VILLAGE HALL PLAY GROUND

The playground outside the Village Hall needs some tender loving
care.  

This is an appeal to families in the village and particularly those with

young children to come with their children and spend a couple of
hours cleaning the equipment, sweeping up the leaves and pulling
up weeds.  

The playground is central to our Village and a lovely facility for the
children of the Village to be able to use.  Sadly, if it is not looked
after the Parish Council may have to close it for safety reasons.  

Please join us for tea and cleaning on

Sunday September 23rd at 2 pm.
