Nettlebed Creamery Needs You!

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
Part - Time Farm Milk Collection Driver: Due to staff illness, we are looking for a practical individual with an hour to spare on weekday mornings between 6.30 - 7.30am to drive our van from Nettlebed to Bix to collect the milk for the day’s cheesemaking.  Think: empty roads, early morning birds singing and the satisfaction of knowing you’re an integral cog of the daily process of turning the very best milk into some of the best cheese in the country! Competitive rates of pay and a staff discount at the cheese shed available. Would suit anyone with a full car driving license over the age of 26 (to meet our insurance requirements), who likes to be up and about before the rest of the village have got their socks on. Full training on milk collection provided.  Email patrick@nettlebedcreamery.com ...

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
CHARITY EVENT NOTIFICATION On behalf of the Friends of Nettlebed School (FONS), I would like to make you aware that as part of  Nettlebed Community School fundraising activities, FONS will be holding the Nettlebed Stinger 10km multi-terrain race on Sunday 27th April at 10am. This race has been approved and licensed by Runbritain (part of UK Athletics). As per previous years, the approved course will see competitors follow footpaths and bridleways around the Highmoor and Witheridge hill area, before joining the road opposite the Rising Sun. Runners will then be directed down Witheridge Hill to Newnham Hill bottom and will run along this road until joining the bridleway up to English Farm. We appreciate that for a short time on the day of the race, this may cause some inconvenience to residents. We anticipate that competitors will pass through this area within approximately one hour starting from 10.15am. As UK Athletics rules require us to provide a drinks station at approximately 5km; this...
