for Timsbury, Camerton and Tunley thanked all the
individual volunteers and representatives from the
Parish Council, Timsbury School, Surgery, Cheshire
Home, Co-op, McColls and Our Plaice Chip Shop who
attended for making it a memorable evening. Timsbury
Royal British Legion thoroughly appreciate all the
hardwork and dedication given by the individual
volunteers and businesses in the village for their
support every year. Without you we would not be able
to raise the amazing amount of money we do every
year which was £3,866.43 in our area and a Somerset
total of £889,848.65, helping to make a Nationwide
total of over £44 million for 2016.
THIS YEARS COLLECTING PERIOD IS FROM SATURDAY 28TH
OCTOBER - SATURDAY 11TH NOVEMBER
Camerton will be holding their annual Remembrance
Service starting in the Church at 1050hrs and then at the
Memorial next to Church on Sunday the 12th November

BROADBAND IS COMING TO DUNKERTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last month a local business called Truespeed,
which supplies broadband to Priston, said that they would be prepared to install broadband connections to households in Dunkerton if we managed, along with Nailwell and Inglesbatch, to get 32 households to sign up for their service. Truespeed have just confirmed that we have exceeded the 32 target and as result, subject to confirmation at a meeting to be held by their Board of Directors later this month, Truespeed will send out their engineers to the households who have signed up in order to assess the logistics of installation for each household with a view to carrying out the installation sometime over the next few months. The exact timing is uncertain, but I will try and keep everyone informed of progress. For those of you who did not manage to attend the meetings with Truespeed, set out below are a few notes from the meeting:
Truespeed require 32 out of 106 properties in the 3 villages (30%) to sign their form for them to commit to start work
The installation takes the form of fibre optic cables run to each individual property carried through existing service routes using overhead cables and underground telecom ducts ie no digging up roads and vastly better speeds than BT who just put a box in the village and then use household copper wires for the final link
Truespeed currently have 500 subscribers in 6 villages and are rolling out to another 2 villages – they have had excellent feedback on their service
Truespeed are funded by and backed by Aviva i.e. they are well funded and a serious business
The servers are based in Newton St Loe and a new service office is opening in Keynsham ie they are a local business not a remote conglomerate
Recent surveys found that households with ultrafast broadband were worth up to 10% more than the equivalent without ultrafast broadband
The terms are on Truespeed’s website, but points to note are:
The installation cost is around £120 per household ie no massive fundraising required
Free installation to Dunkerton Parish Hall
The monthly cost is £47.50 per month for 18 months inclusive of VAT and line rental
They provide phone services so householders can stop all BT payments
There are options for more than 1 line for those who wish to work from home
The speed is 100mb/s via optic fibre cables direct to the household so no shared lines and extremely quick
There is unlimited data usage
At the end of the 18 month contract a household can revert to another provider
There were a host of questions raised at the meeting covering far more than the main points I have outlined here all of which were answered by the Truespeed presenter. For those of you interested in signing up please contact Truespeed directly. Their details are on their website. If you have already signed up and

would like to join an email group run by Simon Gibbs to keep you informed of dealings with Truespeed then please send an email to Simon Gibbs at [email protected] and he will create a "Dunkerton Broadband Group” email chain.

CHANGING TIMES
As many of you will know, Rev. Gordon Ripley
retires on 31st October, and he and Sylvia will
move to their new home in Gloucester. Dunkerton
and Camerton will be without their own Priest for
a few months while a new one is appointed, a
period known as an interregnum, and we are very
grateful to the team of visiting Priests and talented
Parishioners who will lead our services in the
meantime.
This is an important time for the parish, in which
we hope to shape our future, and your input is vital
to that task. Whether or not you are a regular
churchgoer, please give us your support and help
to keep the church going during this period in
whatever way you can. We will be making our
case very strongly for a new priest who can
provide the right combination of skills and
personal attributes to serve our community,
remembering that this includes young children
(fast growing up!), retired adults and all ages in
between.
Delivered with this edition of The Batch is our
annual Gift Day Appeal. Our regular income is
sadly lacking at the moment and will not look good
to prospective candidates. Anything you can
contribute, whether a one-off donation, however
small, or a monthly contribution, will be very
much appreciated, and the ability to demonstrate
support from across the parish will help to attract
the right person.
Finances aside, the church is very much alive and
well. If you haven’t been to church for a while,
now is a good time to come and see what is going
on - it may be different from the last time you
came!

festivities but everyone present had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Our President Sue opened the meeting by welcoming a prospective new member, Kate and a newly signed up member, Pauline. It's so heartening to see our group growing year on year. There was no Treasurer’s report as Jan is preparing the year’s accounts in readiness for the AGM in November. Nora spoke on behalf of the six members who attended the group meeting at Farrington Gurney, hosted by High Littleton and Hallatrow. We had a very enjoyable and entertaining evening with a delicious meal and a very informative talk by Ed Drewitt on Whales and Dolphins. Judy attended the Federation AGM in Filton where she delivered a cheque for £35 for the Coins of Friendship collection. We took a brief look at forthcoming events including an invitation to Radstock’s WI Christmas Carol Service at 7.30 on Tuesday, December 8th at Trinity Methodist Church. We also discussed the forthcoming AGM and possible changes in the new year. Frances has asked for anyone wishing to join us on the trip to Denman in March to bring the first payment of £30 to the November meeting. The cost of the coach will be confirmed when we have final numbers. Viv thanked everyone who attended her Macmillan Coffee Morning and made it such a roaring success. We’re entering a team into the Federation quiz on Friday 13th October. Following two unavoidable dropouts, Doris and Judy volunteered to make up the numbers with Di and Liz. We look forward to hearing about their success at the next meeting. Before we settled down to our delicious Harvest Supper, provided by the Committee, we said a very fond farewell to Sylvia. She will be leaving at the end of the month to move to pastures new with her husband Gordon, we wish them every happiness in their new home. From Judy Chidlaw (Secretary)

DUNKERTON QUIZ – Sept 2017
The 10th Dunkerton Quiz saw a record 56 quizzers
in 10 teams scratching their heads on Saturday
30th September in the face of Michael de Grey’s
questions. Subject matter included History, Sport,
Britain in Pictures, Arts and General Knowledge,
Spelling (a gambling round in which teams lost all
their points if they got one wrong, resulting in all
teams being defeated by the word ‘minuscule’ and
0 points being awarded!) and a map of the Middle
East, in which Ben Harris led his team to victory
by placing all 40 countries and seas in the correct
places. Supper of chilli con carne, baked potatoes
and salad followed by a wonderful array of
puddings kindly provided by the quizzers,
accompanied by wine, beer or soft drinks, and a
well supported draw, made for a very enjoyable
evening all round. The resulting, record profit was
£1,006, to be shared between Parish Hall and
church funds.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO DOG
WALKERS USING TRC
RECREATION FIELD TO EXERCISE
THIER DOGS. The Management Committee are sure you will all
aware by now the way we dispose of household
rubbish is changing dramatically due to a BANES
initiative which will be implemented on Monday
6th November 2017. This has meant that Tunley
Recreation Centre will be categorised as a
commercial waste producer and will therefore
need to pay for all future mixed and recycled
waste collections.
Having contacted several commercial waste collectors,
including BANES, it has been confirmed that we are
unable to dispose of dog faeces on a commercial
bases. To this end a decision has been made by the
management committee that all of the dog waste bins
currently located within the TRC grounds will be
removed forthwith, the bins will be replaced with signs
as below so - From this point, all dog owners
ISSUE 100

will need to pick up and take dog faeces
home for disposal please.
In addition the rubbish bins located within the children’s play area will also be removed. Users of the centre will be expected to act responsibly and take their rubbish home for disposal.

Crime Prevention Advice
Fraudulent car insurance - Peasedown St John
It has come to recent Police attention that a family in Peasedown St John received some car insurance policy documents for a vehicle they don't own and also for a person that does not live at their address. On receiving these documents they contacted the Police and handed over the documents and also reported the incident to Privilege Car Insurance who had sent the documents to their address. The Police completed some initial enquiries and established the intended insured vehicle was actually registered to an address in Birmingham, further enquiries were conducted with Privilege Car Insurance who stated " this has been a problem for sometime, people are giving low risk postcode areas as their home address even though they don't live there. These people are doing this to insure their vehicles' for a substantially lower price in order to defraud the insurance company and in the long run this could cost honest people more money for their premiums".
ISSUE 100

Bristol Lions Cricket Club After the sad demise of Dunkerton Cricket Club I made personal efforts to contact potential cricketers in the
Cam Valley who would be interested in playing at Dunkerton. There were a number of positive responses,
including from young players, but insufficient to resurrect a viable club.
It is excellent that Bristol Lions will now be based here. The enthusiastic way they are tackling improvements and repairs to the ground is evidence of their
commitment to be ready for next season. In time they hope to be able to run a second team and
have told me that to do so they want to encourage and help coach young players. Until they become established I am happy to collect the names of anyone,
adult or junior, who would be interested in playing or simply attending net practice next season - [email protected] or 07831 370353.
