Wacky Olympics a Scorching Success
In spite of other minor attractions such as The World Cup and Glastonbury Festival, Shepton's bi-annual Wacky Olympics attracted almost 100 competitors. This was the hottest day of the year so far with shade temperature of 29-30 degrees.
With marshals, organisers and spectators well over 300 were present at the Lethbridge Memorial Recreation Field. Frequent reminders over the public address to drink plenty of water were listened to although not always with water!!. Stalls, Cream Teas, Bar and a Hog Roast all added to a very enjoyable afternoon and evening which was organised in aid of the Rec.
Last times winners the White Team were well and truly beaten this year by the Brown Team. Team captain Ben said as a team we had been practicing hard, taking onboard plenty of fluids both before, during and after the event.

"Victory" Tea Party a Sucess - May 2009
When someone in the village said “It would be nice if something was put on for the older gereration” the Parish Plan Events Team thought what a good idea and the result was the “Victory” Tea Party held in the Village Hall on Saturday 9th May. Everyone over the age of 70 living in the village was invited and over 60 turned up and had a very enjoyable afternoon. A real live evacuee Joyce West (nee Fry) who was evacuated to Shepton for 3 years in early 1940s living in Belmont Terrace.

E-Mail re Traffic - Driving - Parking
22nd May 2021 Someone damaged my Jeep last night whilst it was parked in Silver Street. They clipped the wing mirror, scraped all along the wheel arch and tore off an 18inch chunk of my front bumper. They did not leave a note on my car claiming responsibility but obviously just drove off. This car must have damage to it's passenger side front end, or at least some of my cars green paint on their car. If anyone wants to own up, I live at Timbers End on Silver Street.

Further to my last, can something please be done about the parking on Silver Street? There are always at least two cars from Silver Springs (who have allocated parking outside their houses) parked in the layby. I have no other options for parking my car and it is extremely frustrating to get home from work at 8.30pm to find more than 6 (sometimes 10+) empty spaces in Silver springs but nowhere to park on Silver Street. If residents of Silver Springs want to park on Silver Street, can they please permit the residents of Silver Street and Belmont Terrace use of their empty allocated parking spaces? Also, could we have marked parking bays in the layby? Most people seem to park as if they have abandoned their car following a high speed chase! They also take up more than the space needed for one car. This often results in seven cars taking up space which (if parked properly) would allow parking for 10 cars. Sorry to moan, but it is a real problem, and now my car has been damaged as I could not park inside the layby. Thank you, Caron (& Neale) Moss, Timber's End
The Happening at St Michael's 2019

Shrove Tuesday 2010
As has been the tradition in Shepton for as long as anyone can remember “Egg Shackling” again took place on Shrove Tuesday. This year the St. Michael's Youth Group laid on a Pancake Party in the Village Hall with free pancakes for everyone. One slight change in the method of “Shackling” was inaugurated by the Vicar Fr. Geoff in that instead of using the traditional well padded sieve he employed a large pottery bowl. Following what some might call over zealous Shackling, resulting in one egg jumping out of the bowl on to the floor. It is hoped that in future years a return to the tried and tested method will once more be employed, following more detailed information belatedly given to Fr. Geoff.
