unrestricted attacks on merchant and passenger
ships Allied shipping losses at sea were soon greater
than the number of new ships being built.

Germany to split its army still further to help their
Turkish allies began with an attack on the

CHUDLEIGH FILM SOCIETY
This month’s screening,
In Love with Alma Cogan, is a
comedy drama; (Cert 12A;99 mins)
This UK film, kindly sponsored by
the Chudleigh Chippy, was filmed
around Cromer and stars the later Roger Lloyd Pack,
along with Niamh Cusack and Gwyneth Strong who
provide strong acting with a good storyline and a
happy ending!
The film is centred on Norman (Roger Lloyd Pack), a
tired and jaded manager of a pier theatre in
a seaside resort. Norman will not accept that his
lifelong job is to be concluded by the council and the
Theatre will have more commerciality in a bid to
boost audience numbers. In the development of the
plot, he realises it may be necessary to put behind
him the ghost of 50s & 60s singer Alma Cogan, who
long ago, performed at the theatre. Sandra (Niamh
Cusack), his devoted long-suffering assistant and
Norman decide to leave the theatre to enable her to
fulfill her dream of being a professional singer and
unexpectedly enjoying a late blossoming romance.

MONKEY COMES TO TOWN
With a wonderfully funny script written by poet
Michael Rosen, and the artistry of Puppetcraft
Theatre, we are delighted to be putting on another
family show in the Community School Hall on
Sunday 15th February at 3pm.
The rebellious superhero ‘Monkey’ originated in a
16th century Chinese story
called The Journey to the
West. The story of his birth,
and his comic adventures, are
brought to life by Puppetcraft
Theatre using carved wooden
string puppets, 200 year old
shadow puppets and live music
performed on traditional Chinese instruments.
Those who have already been to puppet theatre in
the Community Hall know what a magical treat it is,
and if you haven’t been before—come now! And if you
haven’t got a child to bring—still come! It’s suitable
for anyone aged four and over. Tickets are £6 for
adults, £4.50 for children, and can be bought from
Andy in Chudleigh DIY, or from Chris and Lynn
Evans, tel 01626 852553. There will be
refreshments available at the end of the show,
which lasts about 50 minutes.
This is a ‘Villages in Action’ event, organised by
Chudleigh Community Project.

QUIZ
The Village Hall was almost overflowing for the
January’s quiz which proved educational, entertaining
and- as usual – quite a rowdy affair. It even
attracted contestants from as far afield as London.
As usual, the next grilling will be on the third Friday
of the month – 20th February, at 7.30pm. Bring a
team or come along and join a table. At just £4 per
person, including light refreshments, it’s a fun and
painless way of raising funds to help maintain the
Village Hall - come and admire its newly scrubbed
and varnished floorboards!
LENT SUPER ‘SOUP-ER’ LUNCHES

EARLIER
TRUSHAM/TEIGN VALLEY BOOK GROUP
Our last book was The Blasphemer by Nigel
Farndale. The novel criss-crosses between the
present day and World War I. We agreed that it
covered a wide variety of issues and, that while the
modern characters were difficult to care about, the
story was well-told, with particularly effective
descriptions of one character’s WWI experience,
The next book will no doubt provide a contrast –
Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte was published about 150
years earlier.

TRUSHAM PARISH MEETING
The January Parish Meeting agreed to keep the
precept level at £1,000. It was noted that the
decision on the planning application for change of use
of the Cridford Inn was due by 18th April 2015.
Letters to TDC regarding bus shelter maintenance
and DCC regarding possible new Trusham sign by the
War Memorial, had been sent.
The Hall committee reported that an electric fan
heater had been installed in the kitchen and the
heater and toilet light switches had been changed to
include red indicator "on" lights. December had seen
an excellent wine tasting event raising £305.80 and
the Christmas fair which raised £308.95, both for
village funds. It was reported that the hall would be
closed for 3 days at the end of January for the
floor to be deep scrubbed and varnished. Hogwash
had been booked for 27th June.
A date of 23rd April had been set for both AGMs.
Full copies of the minutes are on the notice board.

AND
ROAD SAFETY MAKES SENSE!
 A plea to dog walkers – please wear something
that allows drivers the chance to aim at them &
get them with one hit rather than having to
reverse & try to get them the second time in
passing!!! Something reflective and easy to see
that does not blend into the hedgerow will save
our and your and your pet’s blood pressure!.
 Please Park Prettily - people have been parking
cars at the end of Broadway, at the junction. If
they park beyond the salt/sand bin that is OK,
but parking before means that it is almost
impossible for larger cars / 4x4's vans etc to
transverse that junction (to turn towards the
valley road, or to turn left when coming down the
hill). I tend to leave early (c 5.30am) and tend to
be the first to find the ice and therefore am
fearful of redesigning my car. Delivery drivers
have no such qualms!!!

CHERNOBYL CHIDREN’S LIFE LINE
Graham and Marjool (on behalf of the local
Chernobyl Children’s Life Line) would like to thank all
those who chose to donate to this charity rather
than giving individual Christmas cards to each
household in the village. This raised a total of £152
which will help fund ten children coming over to the
Teignbridge/Torbay area this summer. This year we
are hoping that the children and the host families
will join us at the village barn dance in June, giving
you the chance to see exactly what your donation
helped to achieve. Thank you!

AND ON A MUSICAL NOTE
DUNSFORD SINGERS
Despite its name, its singers, including
a wide range of musical expertise,
come from other Teign Valley villages
– four from Trusham. Rehearsals, in
Dunsford Village Hall, are on Mondays
from 7.30-9pm. The next concerts, on
June 6th/14th, will include Haydn’s
Nelson Mass and several shorter
pieces. It all sounds very serious – but
it’s not – so if anyone wants to join the
Trusham quartet......
