Get up the sports club if you care about its future...
There's a meeting of Langport and Huish Sports and Social club tonight to discuss how to and who should run the place.
Management past and present, members and non members are all urged to go up for a half seven start.
What's it all about?
For one reason or another, the club's been losing management committee members in recent months/weeks.
So get some more in.
Not that simple, not everyone's got time or is interested - so tonight's meeting is about fishing around for more....but according to our sources, the gathering up the club later is also "a warning"
About what?
It's believed if there's a void on the management committee then local town and/or parish councillors may be placed on it.
Not sure if that's either Langport or Huish councils' intention but they do already partly fund the Memorial Ground - that's the land that the club and its facilities sit on.

"What's wrong with local councillors sitting on the management committee of a sports and social club?" we asked.
"Look at the state of affairs up at Somerton" was the frank answer Carry On Langport got from a handful of Langport and Huish club supporters alarmed at the prospect of local parish and town councillors 'muscling in' if nobody steps in to run the club...which doesn't even have a chairman at present.
That is, apparently, where we are at the moment.
Whatever the rights and wrongs, let's see what tonight's meeting brings.
It's at 7.30pm.
Everybody's welcome and by the sounds of it - needed.
