Fine Dining at Wyndham House

On Friday 1 November the Mayor had the pleasure of attending the re-launch of the Fine Dining experience at Wyndham House Care Home in Minehead which offers the experience of an expertly cooked and presented three course menu at a reasonable price specifically for those who have a loved one or friend who suffers from dementia or who is elderly or vulnerable in some way.  It provides a supportive and caring environment where small groups enjoy a good meal in pleasant surroundings without the pressures which may come from taking a loved one to a crowded restaurant.  The Mayor said "I and my companion enjoyed an excellent meal, served by friendly and helpful waitresses in a beautifully presented room.  The whole evening was a real treat and one which I would wholeheartedly recommend to others.  I feel we are extremely fortunate to have such a service on offer here in Minehead "

On Thursday 15 August the Mayor and Deputy Mayor attended the Burma Star Association's Commemoration of VJ Day + 74 in Blenheim Gardens.  Over forty people gathered to remember those who died in the Two Great Wars in other countries, particularly remembering those who served, suffered and died in conflicts in the Far East.  The service was led by Rev John Thorogood and, as the standards of the Burma Star Association, Royal British Legion and Air Cadet Squadron were lowered, and the notes of the bugle playing the Last Post filled the Gardens, wreaths were laid at the Memorial there.

On Saturday 10 August the Mayor attended the Minehead Annual Flower Show at The West Somerset College.  The Show is organised by the Minehead and District Gardeners’ Association who, despite bad weather, set up and ran a well organised and well attended Show.  The Mayor was delighted to tour the exhibits with the President of the Gardeners’ Association before presenting thirty trophies to the winners of the various sections.  The Mayor told those present how much she had enjoyed viewing the entries and that she was particularly pleased that in many cases she had, without seeing the Judge’s verdict, ‘picked the winner’.  It was also good to see so many local businesses sponsoring the Show’s numerous categories of flowers, vegetables and crafts.  She congratulated everyone on their efforts and thanked the large number of people who had come to view the Show for their support of this local event.
