The Neroche Villages Newsletter was produced on a quarterly basis by a team of volunteers from the Neroche Communication Action Group.They did this as a service to the community.
It was delivered free of charge by another team of volunteers to households in the Neroche Parish area.The newsletter aimed to keep residents informed about local issues and items of interest, and to foster a strong community spirit.
The cost of production was met by donations, advertising and grants from Neroche Parish Council, the Neroche Hall Committee and Taunton Racecourse.
There was a mix of articles on topical issues and activities; information from our MP and parish, district and county councillors; updates from Neroche Hall; promotion of coming events and reports on recent ones; a farming column; and a wide variety of items of interest about what individuals, groups and businesses in the parish were doing.
The final copy of the Newsletter appeared in the Winter of 2024 and was discontinued due to the lack of an editor beyond this date.
Hard copies of former editions of the Neroche Newsletter are available at the South West Heritage Trust in Norton Fitzwarren; ie, issues No.1 (April 2011) to No.54 (Winter 2024).
The Trust's catalogue Group Code is: A/FJE which will display a list of the individual items but not their contents. Anyone wishing to view the hardcopies will have to visit the Heritage Trust Centre.
