Naked and Village Voices Hullavington’s Village Voices started the music for a great vocal experience in the Village Hall on Saturday. The group, under the leadership of Chris Samuel, celebrated their fist year as a choir with a wide range of songs from the Wild West to the Welsh Valleys, much to the appreciation of their audience. Naked Voices, who followed them on to the stage, offered an astonishment of musical prowess. Their repertoire extended over a vast range of music, from the raunchy jazz of “In these shoes” to the vocal clarity and precision of Eric Satie’s “Gymnopedie”. The only instrument used to produce such a range of sound and harmony was the human voice, and all was choreographed to create a very lively evening. The entertainment finished with a lively rendition of the Hippopotamus Song with the audience adding weight to the chorus. To find out more about Naked Voices, see www.nakedvoices.co.uk . If you would like to join in with the singing, Village Voices meet on Fridays from 2-4pm.

Fashions for Williams Charity There will be an open day of Weekenders Fashions and Elizabeth Hinton jewellery at 67 The Street on Saturday 15 September from 10am to 4pm. Tea, coffee and cakes will be served and there will be a raffle to raise funds for the Williams Syndrome Foundation. Coal Canal Guided Walk An informative day out was enjoyed by 14 people and three dogs, who followed the course of the disused Somerset Coal Canal on Sunday. Adrian Tuddenham, guide for the day, pointed out many of the structures that still exist, and explained how the locks are being restored, despite the damage caused by tree roots and other vegetation. The canal used an early form of boat-lift and we found how the directors of the canal company were nearly suffocated when they used the lift, which was not designed to carry passengers. The industrial archeology of the area involved several modified plans for the canal, culminating in a series of 22 locks, many of which are still visible, and part of the disused Somerset and Dorset Railway. Short Mat Bowls Club After a busy summer of singles competitions, the Short Mat Bowls League matches resume in October. You are invited to have a go at bowls ion Monday evenings in the Village Hall, all that’s needed to take part is a pair of flat shoes. If there is enough interest, Thursday afternoon bowls could be re-started. Please ring Geoffrey Maddock on (01666) 837275 or Carol Bys on (01666)837785 for more information.
