It is with great sadness we report the death of Tom Dearing at Musgrove hospital on Friday night.

​

Tom was a close personal friend, a straight talker, honest as they come, and an all round lovely chap.  He will be missed terribly.

​

Our thoughts are with Ros, Darcey, and all of his family.

​

Minehead Motor Club have a drive today starting at 9:30 from Allerford, which passes through Winsford from Exford, and then up Halse Lane. Lots of classic cars are expected with 104 entries 

​

​​​

Winsford cricket team lost away to top of the table Stogumber by 4 wickets.

​

Winsford won the toss and batted, reaching a very decent 213/8 in their 40 over. Top scorers were Patrick Crane (62) and S Kingdon (50)

​

Stogumber's innings was dominated by an exceptional 131 not out by their captain, with no one else scoring very many, and they reached the required total with 7 overs to spare.

​

Winsford have no game next week as Hemyock, who would have been their opponents for the final home game, have forfeited their season.
