Wearing a face covering will become mandatory in all shops and supermarkets in England from 24 July 2020. Shop workers, however are excluded.
Those who fail to wear a mask will face a fine of up to £100. This will be reduced to £50 if people pay within 14 days. The rules will be enforced by the police and not the shop workers.

There is a sleeve/pocket in the lining for optional addition of filters.
There is also a small metal strip to fit the contour of the face for a more comfortable fit and prevents glasses from steaming up.
Made to order, machine washable, the choice of sizes are: Child, Teenager, Small Adult & Adult.
They are £5 each with a discount for orders of 10 or more.
If unable to collect, Leoni offers First Class postage at £1 for one, £1.30 for two or more.

Summer Family Fun from Beaminster Team Churches

As an alternative to their usual summer activities which cannot proceed due to social distancing, Beaminster Team churches are putting together activity packs for families to help ease some of the summer holiday boredom. Each pack contains suggestions and resources for crafts, science experiments, art projects and activities themed around four bible stories. There will be accompanying videos on their website.

Most activities are achievable by children on their own if they can read the instructions. Younger children might require more support and some activities are for the whole family to enjoy. There is a weekly challenge to complete and send in a photo to win a prize.

Free resource packs will be available from 27^th July. You need to register to receive one of these. Please complete the form HERE.

They are also putting some suggestions in the pack for the family to pray together and talk about God together. If you are interested in growing faith at home do look at the links below which they believe might give you some suggestions. They are also happy to help support you.

The BIG Butterfly Count 17th July – 9th August 2020

Today, July 17th, sees the start of the Butterfly Conservation’s BIG Butterfly Count.

The BIG Butterfly Count is a UK-wide survey aimed at helping to assess the health of our environment simply by counting the amount and type of butterflies (and some day-flying moths) we see. It was launched in 2010 and has rapidly become the world’s biggest survey of butterflies.

They are asking that between Friday 17 July and Sunday 9 August, you choose a place to spot butterflies and moths. Each day, watch for just 15 minutes.
Using the free ID chart – identify and record the butterflies you spot.

It’s very easy for you to take part:

You can download their FREE ID Chart HERE
(You will have to give your name and email address which you’ll then need to sign in with when you submit your counts).
You then add your counts on their website or using the app.
You can view their interactive map to see how your data is contributing to conservation science and research.
