Offwell Rural Services Association
The Committee understands that there is some confusion over the continued function of Offwell Rural Services Association (ORSA). To clarify matters we would like to confirm that, despite the closure of the shop, ORSA is continuing in its original form for the benefit of the community.
As an organisation ORSA will consider supporting future projects in the Parish, for example they have recently purchased promotional material for the defibrillator which have been distributed throughout the village and have now arranged a First Aid Course, which was held in January 2020 and was well attended.
For further information contact any member of the ORSA committee (see below). ORSA has always been a separate entity to the shop and new committee members are welcome.

A Successful Burns Night
“What a fantastic night”, “I can’t remember when I last laughed so much!“ are just two of the comments received after a really successful Burns Night celebration in the Village Hall. Eighty six canny souls feasted on a traditional starter then applauded as the haggis was piped in, followed by the whisky toast. Tatties and neeps joined the haggis on the plate, and the meal was completed with Cranachan for dessert.
The evening then descended into marvellous chaos when the caller began the Ceilidh! Such fun was had by all those who joined in the dancing and just as much by those watching from the sidelines. The fabulous sum of £1270.90 was raised, to be divided between the Offwell Woodland Centre and the Honiton Admiral Nurse. A huge thank you to the band of willing helpers who worked so hard to make it such a successful night and to all those who came along.
