Cafe Forum Abbey Manor Yeovil

Cafe Forum reopened on the 12th August.

It is a pleasant place to meet up and have some food or a coffee. We spent a few hours chatting with friends.

Hardington Horse and Dog Show

I went to the Hardington Horse and Dog Show on Saturday; It was certainly a popular event. As a townie it was good to see the horses and dogs.

I was only able to stay a short while, but would have liked to stay longer. Still managed to see the fancy dressed dog competition try out the food tent. The food tent was worth a visit with cakes and barbeque where I tasted local food a plate full of Rabbit freshly caught and prepared, and a tasty burger.

The Proceeds were going to go to Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, Hardington Village Hall and Heavens Gate Animal Shelter

“The Noise 2010”, Oak Tree Park, Abbey Manor Park

It was a great day for “The Noise 2010”, Oak Tree Park, Abbey Manor. There was a constant stream of people between 12 noon and 5pm visiting the event.

The Skate board and Bmx competitions saw some amazing stunts.
Some of the highlights were the Brazilian street dancers and the agility dogs.

St James Church was manning the refreshments giving out endless free fresh coffee, tea and squash.

There was plenty going on with Bouncy castles, face painting and other stalls.

The Yeovil Amateur radio club had some amazing aerials and equipment on show.

The event was only possible due to the local churches, Brympton parish council, Abbey Manor Community Centre, St James Scouts and others who gave time and support to this great free biannual event.

Yeovil Woolworths to become a Primark Store

Primark are taking over the Yeovil Woolworths store, a notice has been posted at the front of the store.

Primark  opening new store in Yeovil 18-6-10

At last the old Yeovil Woolworths has found a new use, it will be interesting to see how Primark will use all the space in this vast store. There is no mention of an opening date, but I bet it won't be long.

Primark Yeovil will certainly be a size, plenty of space for piles of clothes.

Primark have had a lot of bad press over the years for their sourcing of clothes, according to the Primak uk website they are committed to ethical trading.

Yeovil Junction not in Bloom

The floral displays around Yeovil are Amazing a great deal of effort has been put in by the council and local people.


Yeovil Junction is one of the main Gateways to Yeovil, the planters seem to have seen better days. It is a shame when the rest of Yeovil puts so much effort into making the town look cared for.

I am sure Southwest Trains can do a better job, may be someone could sponsor a planter?

16/6/10 Update

I have emailed South West Trains, have waited over a week but no reply, Little old Yeovil Junction (150 years this year) doesn't warrant a spruce up in the flower department.

7/7/10 Update
Have had an email from Southwest trains who have asked the station master to contact me.

25/8/10 Update
No contact from the station master, I am sure they are far to busy to tidy up the station.

The 150 year anniversary of Steam arriving at Yeovil Junction will be celebrated in July.
