Committee Members
Sue Barton
Chair
I moved to Combwich from London in 1999 and joined the Village Hall Committee in 2013. In recent years I have acted as Chair of the Hall Trustees and spent much of the last two years raising funds for the big refurb.
Richard Navoy
Trustee
I moved to Combwich in 1996 and quite honestly have never regretted it. I’ve used the Village Hall for more years than I care to remember so thought it would be a good idea to get involved with it. I enjoy music, play in a local band with my oldest son, the others one’s in Plymouth and I have a daughter in Bridgwater who is a regular visitor with the two Grandkids.
Marcus Ford
Trustee
I joined the Otterhampton Village Hall Management Committee in the mid 1990s as a trustee and representative for the Parish Council. Over my years on the committee I have undertaken the role of Treasurer and currently I’m the user group representative for Combwich Short Mat Bowling Club.
Steve Lang
Trustee
I moved to Combwich from Weymouth, Dorset, after serving 36 years in the Military. After arriving in Combwich in 2019 I was made to feel very welcome. I became the Chairman of the Harbour View Bar. I now sit on the Village Hall Committee as a Trustee. I feel very lucky to live in this part of the country.
Lindsey Parsons
Secretary
I am a Parish Councillor for Otterhampton and have just retired as a catering manager. I have lived in Combwich for almost 40 years and was heavily involved with the playgroup in it's early days at the village hall.
Helen Jowett
Trustee
I moved to Combwich 14 years ago from Steart. I used to work at Combwich School as a classroom assistant and now I’m involved with organising the Friday Coffee Morning. My hobbies include music, writing, walking & enjoying time with my 4 children and 8 grandchildren.
Nicky Rowland
Trustee
I moved to Combwich in July 2017 and have really enjoyed getting involved in all aspects of village life. I joined the OVH committee in 2020 and also personally support lots of activities throughout the year including the monthly market and the pantomime.
Sheila Thomas
Trustee
We moved to Cannington from Hampshire in 1972. I retired in 2018 with my husband after we sold Greenway Garage that we ran for 30 years. Since then I don’t know how I had time to work. I joined the WI and the crafting club at Combwich and also belong to a choir. I joined the Village Hall committee as a trustee in my capacity as President of the WI. I look forward to making a contribution to the committee the best way I can.

They are places with teapots as big as the moon. They are Utopia with cutlery drawers, waiting for us to inhabit them with love.”
