This month’s edition contains plenty of news about the ongoing concerns over the future of the inpatient unit at St Margaret’s Hospice in Yeovil.

There is plenty of news about the continuing support for Yeovil District Hospital’s Breast Cancer Unit Appeal, plus photo specials from the Norton and Chiselborough Flower Show and the Yeovil Allotments Show.

There is news and photos of A-Level and GCSE results from Yeovil College, Buckler’s Mead Academy, Preston School, Westfield Academy and Stanchester Academy.

Plus we have a four-page pull-out of photos from the recent Cheese and Cider Festival held at the Westlands Yeovil entertainment venue.

There are also photo specials from the recent Tribute Festival at Yeovil Showground and Castaway Theatre Group’s summer school where talented young people spent just five days producing, rehearsing and performing a shortened version of the ever-popular musical Matilda.

The Yeovil Press also has features on the new owners of the Cake Box Bakery and the Jupiter Moon Hair and Beauty salon in Yeovil. And we look ahead to the fun-packed Super Saturday event in Yeovil.

There are also 12-pages of sport including local skittles, golf, rugby, netball, cricket and football.

The Yeovil Press also includes its two-page What’s On Guide and its regular features News in Photos and Social Life.

Plus the paper takes a look back 80 years ago to when Britain declared war on Germany at the start of the Second World War in September 1939. Did you know more than 40 civilians were killed in Yeovil during the war as a result of German air raids?

The Yeovil Press is an independent publication and produced by journalist Steve Sowden, a Yeovilian born and bred, who has worked on Somerset-based newspapers for 30 years.
