After a very, very long season the league division two title came down to the penultimate game. Ashcott needed to beat Combe St Nicholas away to take the title. They duly did, winning 4-2. The team finished the game with 3 of the U16’s squad from last season. Ashcott won 21 of their games, drawing only 3 and losing twice. Unlike other divisions, the teams they lost to weren't any of the top three finishers, and they gained 7-0 wins over Long Ashton and Cutters Friday! Ossian Gould was Ashcott's top hitter, with a whopping 27 goals in just 25 appearances. He is also top goalscorer in the Division. Above right is the Ashcott Management Team for Season 2022/23 proudly displaying the Trophy. The Shapwick Community Café continues to be highly popular, with many regulars and others who just pop in when they can. The three venues, the Pavilion, St Mary’s Community Cafe WENDY ANDERSON Church and the Village Hall each have their own atmosphere, and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a piece of cake with a hot drink, laugh and chat with new and old friends. See you there! Sustainable Shapwick STEVE POLDEN The Sustainable Shapwick group has met a couple of times since the inaugural meeting and presentation by Steve Mews of Green Wedmore. Ideas being pursued include options for tree planting, a freecycle event as well as the litter pick (see p.1). For upcoming meetings we are planning to hold a 'Show & Tell' type event. A couple of villagers have offered to open their houses to explain the different alternative energy sources they have, such as air source water heater with electric radiators and a solar panel with a battery installation. If you would like to attend, please drop us an email on sustainable@shapwick.org. In the autumn, following a workshop held in Glastonbury, we are planning a climate change adaptation workshop: again drop us a line if you would like to attend this thought provoking session or look out for details on the Shapwick FaceBook page. 16 September: Music on the Pitch, see. p.7 in Shapwick between now and mid-October Thankyou to all who provided picnic photographs, especially John Anderson for the group photo on the front page!
