Cheese and Wine - and talk on Lordington Lavender - Village Hall, |
|
| Cheese and Wine went down very well, and we were entertained by Andrew Elms, who farms at Lordington, growing amongst other things, Lavender. Farming these days is all about diversification and new opportunities, but life is never predictable. Andrew is now selling a variety of Lavender based products - not just the essential oil.

The Hambrook & District Residents Association came in to being some 13 years ago. It was started by a few like minded villagers who objected to some of the things that were happening within this area and decided to try and do something about it. And so the association began. Since then it has grown and currently has in the region of 110 households as members.
The object of the Association, laid down in its constitution, is to further the interest of its members in those matters affecting the ‘district’. We are a non party political and nondenominational organisation. In recent years we have lobbied the District and County Councils on matters affecting planning, the environment and the social side of the district.
Each year we have an Annual General Meeting in March and a General Meeting in September. We invite our County and District Councillors and the Chairman of the Parish Council to address the meeting and have an open session for members to ask questions. We also have various social events during the year and the occasional fund raising event (see our social page).
If you or your family would like to join the Association please contact the Membership Secretary or any Committee Member, we would be pleased to talk to you.
