Fun run helps hospice
A SMALL group of friends who are all vintage tractor enthusiasts have made a donation to Dorothy House Hospice after meeting for a run around Mendip. Organised by Rob Uphill, the annual get-together is deliberately a low-key affair with the friends choosing to support a different charity each year. The drivers had breakfast at Priddy Good Farm Shop before they headed off down Ebbor Gorge then towards Glastonbury and the Levels.

A walk on the mild side

AROUND 60 walkers – and almost 30 dogs – enjoyed a New Year’s Day ramble around the Faulkland and Norton St Philip area, raising £660 for Dorothy House Hospice.
Despite early heavy rain, the weather stayed mild for the 5.4-mile walk organised by Rich Taylor, of Writhlington, in memory of his late wife Kate.
The walkers prepare to set off from the car park of the Tucker’s Grave Inn
