Thank You to the committee and to all that support THE CONNECTION from the regular contributors as well as one off articles, those that deliver it, put up notices and that read it.

Web Site

Hosting. Peter Taylor continues to host, which allows us to keep our overall costs down.

Content. At our last meeting I asked people to look at the site and suggests any changes, a few have been made and updates will be on going as needed. Please continue to review it.

New Email created for the community orchard project

Newsletter published every month as little and often was agreed and appears to be best. We have increased delivered printed copies to 30 which includes copies left at The Parish hall, The Church and Bray Shop share box. TY Sue & Astrid for sending the newsletter emails and keeping the data base up to date. Peter will now schedule and email the newsletters. TY

Content With events in full swing there’s always plenty to include. Discussed reducing the number of pages and sending by mailchimp to condense and provide stats. Look at printing in blue and use of different fonts, possible article ask opticians.

The Queens Funeral Service Sept. 19th 2022


On Monday 19th September 10am

The hall will be open and showing the Queens funeral service on the big screen TV.

We invite the community to come and meet and have some coffee and cake.

Please invite others that may not see this invitation so people don’t have to be on their own and can watch with others if they choose to. This maybe a difficult time for some and is part of everyone’s history.

Please come and support each other and share your memories following the service, the hall will remain open into the afternoon for you to drop in.

If you cant come please still spread the word.to others.

St Sampson’s church will set up a table and bring the book of condolences for people to write in and Judith Ayres will say a few words before the service which starts at 11am.

We look forward to seeing you there.

From Nick Easton and the Hall Committee.

Proclamation read at 6pm Sunday 11th Sept. 2022


Operation London Bridge. Proclamation – read at 6.00pm on Sunday, 11th September 2022 https://fb.watch/fv5id-VY22/ LIVE READING by Parish Councillor Chair Dan Smith.

Today’s ceremony marks the formal proclamation to the people of South Hill parish of the beginning of our new Kings reign.

Yesterday the accession council met at St James Palace to proclaim our new sovereign.  The flags which had flown at half mast since the Queens death will raise briefly to their full height to mark the start of His Majesty’s reign.  The accession council also made an order requiring the High Sheriff to call the proclamation to be read in the areas of their jurisdiction.

We come together this afternoon following the passing of our late sovereign Queen Elizabeth II. 

Our sadness at this time is shared by people across the globe as we remember with affection and gratitude the lifetime service given by our longest reigning monarch. The basis on which our monarchy is built has ensured that through the centuries a crown has passed in an unbroken line of succession.

The High Sheriff of Cornwall discharged that duty earlier today and now with my humble duty I bring the words of the proclamation to the residents of South Hill parish.

SHARE AGM – save the date


This year’s SHARE AGM event will be held at South Hill Parish Hall from 7.30pm on Thursday 22nd  September 2022

This is our plan for the evening:

a.     Information Event, open to all.  SHARE will be publicising what we’ve been able to do since the last AGM, the status of our ongoing plans and projects, and many of the items that fall under the agenda item “Annual Report”. This will be an informal chat and question event held in the Hall. We’ll be planning to cover: wood projects, hydro, recycling, energy, carbon footprinting and wider “green” issues. The displays and discussions will be manned from 7:30pm.

b.     The formal part of the AGM (i.e. that bit we are legally obliged to do) will start at 8:30 in the Main Hall, taking advantage of the new display that the Hall Committee have installed. There we will conduct the formal finance business, table the legally required motions and elect the Directors for the next year. Only full Members are allowed a vote.

This year there is a vacancy for a new Finance Director, as Graham Beven is standing down. His has been an invaluable contribution into the success of SHARE, its projects and its stability. We collectively thank Graham for his help and support, and the guidance he has given us.

We hope that this event will make it easy for everyone to voice their opinions and express their aspirations for SHARE, without the rather formal setting of a big Hall meeting. Non-members are welcome to come and see what we’re all about, and maybe join.

Please come along and bring us your hopes, criticisms and aspirations to prepare SHARE for the next year.

SHARE PV Annual Reports


SHARE has published its annual reports on our two solar PV installations in South Hill Parish.

The domestic scale (4kW) system on the roof of the Parish Hall has been in place for 7 years. It is supported by a battery, and works well in conjunction with the Hall’s ground source heat pump. SHARE and the Parish Hall share the Feed In Tariff income between us. Read the report here…

The larger 40kW system, at Church Park South Hill, has been in place for 6 years, providing electricity for the house and business at Church Park and exporting the balance to the grid. The system is financed by investments from SHARE members, and SHARE receives income from the Feed In Tariff and from sales of electricity to Church Park. Read the report here…
