Bridge Club

May 25th, 2011

Are you interested in playing Bridge? Did you know there was a bridge club running in Semington?

The bridge club play in the Semington Village Hall on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10am.

Friday club is the smaller of the two days, with the smaller group it allows for some teaching of how to play and it is very relaxed come  Tuesdays again is friendly and the pace is a bit quicker.

Footballs Coming Home II–Good Friday

April 20th, 2011

On good Friday last year, Semington footballers present and past gather for an inaugural football match to showcase the village’s new football pitch. This was followed by a hugely successful post match celebration.

Unfortunately the football pitch wasn’t fit to play on for the 2010/11 football season but lots of progress has been made in the last year, changing rooms are in place and goals are ready for action. So on Good Friday 2011, we really will be celebrating the homecoming of football in the village.

Post match festivities will again be hosted at The Somerset Arms and this will include a barbecue and live music. Once again we look forward to your support.
