A Paulton Wedding
Allowing themselves less than 6 weeks preparation time, Paulton couple Tom and Imogen decided to ‘Tie the knot’. The wedding took place at Paulton Baptist Church. The guest list consisted of parents and the Church congregation.The great day arrived and as expected, in this period of sunshine, the weather was perfect. The entire congregation brought their skills to ensure a memorable day for the couple. Floral displays were picked and arranged, 'bring and share' food from across the globe was prepared, the Baptist Church premises were appropriately decorated, music was provided and a beautiful private garden was used as a backdrop for a volunteer photographer. Colin the Baptist minister led the service with his trademark mix of reverence and humour. Paulton Baptist Church is an extremely friendly and welcoming place, trying to cater for every need and every age group. The regular Church service, at 10.30 every Sunday, contains a slot for children and activities are provided for them during the ‘adult’ talk. There is also a weekly Bible Study and regular interaction with Bloomfield care home and Paulton hospital. This truly is a Church catering and caring for the people in our community.

Healthwatch B&NES is inviting views on the 5 yearly NHS Health Check for those aged 40-74The NHS Health Check for adults aged 40–74 is a free 5 yearly check up on overall health that can identify people at a higher risk of developing diseases including: heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and stroke, and help them to take steps to reduce their risk and prevent disease.
Looking across B&NES, take up of the Health Check is lowest among those at the younger end of the eligibility range, particularly men, individuals from minority ethnic groups and people living in less well-off neighbourhoods. 
Alongside public health efforts to better target the offer of NHS Health Check to groups with low uptake, Healthwatch is engaging the public to understand their awareness of and access to the Health Check. What are the barriers to attending the Health Check and what would make it easier?

Community OrchardThank you to everyone involved into the creation of the community orchard.

Can you help the Somerset Coal Canal SocietyWe desperately need a little bit of help arranging our events. It requires somebody that is fairly organised and can offer a few hours each month to book halls, gather event information and co-ordinate to make sure they go smoothly. You don’t always have to attend the events, but it would be great if you could.
Most of our talks are held at Paulton Village Hall and our walks are dotted along the route of the canal from Timsbury up to Bath and some are from Bath to Radstock.
To give you a rough idea of how much work is involved, we held 11 events last year and have 5 booked for next year already, although we may add to that as time goes on. There are a few other non-official events that take place, such as smaller talks for specific groups that request it throughout the year too, but these are very light touch.
If you’d like anymore information, please email Derrick .moc.lanaclaoc%40namriahc
