A warm and deeply felt thank you for the many cards, emails and letters I have received from Bridford, Christow and other Teign Valley villagers. We enjoyed many happy years in Bridford and our leaving for health and family convenience was a great wrench. Ted’s diagnosis and more recent events have proved it to have been a wise move. It is comforting to know that many of Ted’s qualities are still remembered. He had a tendency to dismiss his own achievements in life as ‘luck’ whilst remaining true to his conviction that we should all, in our own small ways, try to make the world a better, fairer place for everyone. He appreciated the active, community spirit of Bridford and would have been chuffed but slightly embarrassed at being remembered.
I am fortunate in having a wonderfully supportive family but when ‘normality’, resumes will happily put on the kettle for visitors.
Thank you and best wishes, Annette.
We are sad that, after so many years of service to the community in the preparation of Unity magazine, Rose has decided to step down as editor. Safety considerations during this time of Covid-19
have made the delivery of the print magazine difficult but it was good that the online edition of Unity in May was so well received.
A new editor is needed to continue Unity in June for the July edition and beyond – we are looking for a volunteer (or a team of volunteers!) to take on this important role: bringing together the
communities and churches of Ashton, Bridford, and Christow in Unity.
In the first instance, please contact Steve Cook, the Churches’ Administrator, on 01392 832332 or [email protected] , and he will then pass on the necessary details.
The June edition of Unity will be printed and delivered as usual.
If you are a distributor of Unity and would prefer not to deliver at this time please let the editor know on the usual email address ([email protected] ) and alternative arrangements can be made.
ALL PARISH COUNCIL MEETINGS CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. A REMOTE MEETING VIA COMPUTER OR TELECONFERENCE WILL BE ARRANGED AND DETAILS WILL BE PUBLISHED ON THIS WEBSITE
We’ve uploaded a PDF and Microsoft Word version of the May 2020 edition of Unity magazine to the Bridford village website.
It’s alright, no sudden change in the weather! This is just a public thank you to the Bridford Snow Team for looking after us this winter. Fortunately it wasn’t a very severe winter but they were called upon to go out several times. We’d stopped anyway as social distancing is a bit of a challenge for this activity. Hopefully there‘ll be a few extra volunteers for next winter….. Anne Mayes
The May 2020 edition of Unity will not be printed and delivered as usual on the instructions of the Church because of COVID-19. The magazine WILL be issued but emailed to all distributors, advertisers, and contributors with the request that they forward my email with the magazine attachment to all people in the Valley they have email addresses for and hopefully that way people will still have it to read. A copy will also be available on the Bridford village web site
