Hi everybody,

my name is Nina and I come from Germany.

I hope to find help here![b] I'm looking for Chris King (Christopher D. King) and his family. His wife is called Jackie and his daughter Cheryl. They live (or lived) at 16 Greenway in Bishops Lydeard. [/b]
In 1996 I lived with the Kings for four months as I went to Richard Huish College for a term. Unfortunately, we lost contact in 2002.  

Chris worked for the Royal Mail and should be famous in the village. He is is smart and funny person whom everyone loves.

I would be so happy to get in contact with the Kings again. Please let me know if you have any information for me!

Thanks,
Nina

I have just heard the sad news that Fred Clarke that many of you knew, has passed away.

He is being cremated in Suffolk and a memorial service is being held for him in Bishops Lydeard on 27th July.

His daughter has informed me that they would prefer donations to the Royal British Legion instead of flowers.  Thank you.

If anyone wants to send the family a card I am happy to forward them on for you.....drop them off for me at 1 Dene Court.

Hello everyone, this is really my 1st post on this forum.  Firstly would like to say what a lovely village 'BL' is, beautiful scenery, friendly people, a nice homely place!

I was wondering whatever happened with the running of the village library, was it taken over on a voluntary basis or did Somerset Council change plans to close it down?  Was also wondering if they are still taking book donations at all?  

Best Regards.
