New Notice Boards At Warminster Community Orchard

Saturday 11th January 2025

From the Facebook page of Warminster Community Orchard:

We have new noticeboards up at the two diagonal entrances to the Meadow now. Pretty smart! And what’s more, cut and painted by the chaps in The Shed at Warminster Action Group – a neat community process which was brilliant.

The tree chosen for the Wassail [on Saturday 18th January 2025, 6pm] is Magnum Roundway Bonum. ‘Tis a fine shaped tree and was raised at Roundway Park in Devizes, recorded in 1864 and we will be singing traditional songs around it. Wear green. Come bless the trees.

“I Can Help And I Will Help”

Sunday 5th January 2025

Kate Mairis at Yarn For The Soul, 6 Street, Warminster, writes:

My heart feels so very heavy tonight after news of a few deaths over the weekend. I know that sat in my little corner here in Warminster there’s not a huge amount I can realistically do . . . BUT that does not mean I am going to sit here and do nothing. My shop is a safe place. You are always welcome here – yes you…. I will always make the time to listen. I always have a warm kettle and I’m told my hugs are quite good too. What I’m trying to say is that even if this reaches just one person feeling low, downtrodden and a bit crap then that’s a good thing. My shop is not just for women. Men are just as welcome here. If you feel like you have nowhere to go, please think again. I don’t have a magic wand. I can’t take your burden away but I can listen and I can point you in the direction of finding professional help. I can help and I will help. You are loved. Always. Katie xx

The Athenaeum Is Deeply Saddened By The Passing Of Teilo How

Saturday 4th January 2025

From the Facebook page of the Athenaeum, Warminster:

It is with deep sadness that the Warminster Athenaeum remembers the life of our talented technician, Teilo How, who has tragically left this world too soon. Teilo grew up in, and had a profound love for our theatre.

Teilo’s energy and contributions touched countless lives within the Theatre Community. In his memory, a Book of Remembrance will be available in the Athenaeum Gallery Room, where everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and memories.

We understand that some may wish to leave flowers. In lieu of this, Teilo’s family is planning to set up a fundraising platform to honour his name and support initiatives for young men’s mental health.

A light has gone out in a truly creative soul.

If you are affected by Teilo’s loss, we encourage you to seek support from local charities specialising in mental health and grief:
