Yeohead & Castleton Parish Council

Keeping you informed ...

-> Your Councillors

Chairman

John C C Mason

I came to Holway Farm, Sandford Orcas in 1952 and subsequently 

moved to Poyntington in 1972 and have been here ever since.

Apart from 15 years in Dundee I have always lived in a village and enjoyed the pleasures that go with them. I have been a player in the Sandford Orcas Billiard League for over 50 years. Whilst in Sandford Orcas I was secretary of the Village Hall and ran a youth club. I also helped run a youth club in Poyntington, was a parish councillor, and chaired the Village Hall Committee. I also ran a youth club in Marshfield in Wilts whilst managing a farm there, so I have made myself a general nuisance in most villages. My aim as Chairman of the Yeohead & Castleton Parish Council is to work towards peace and harmony and the general well-being of the parishes represented.

Greg Kellaway

Councillor

My name is Greg Kellaway and I have been farming since the 1970's. I am currently a tenant of a Dorset County Council Farm of 210 acres in Oborne. I am married with two children. I am the tenant farmers association representative on behalf of the council tenants. My interests tend to be totally on my work as a dairy farmer milking 120 Holstein Friesian cows, the farm is currently under going a diversification of a maize maze and a caravan certificated location. When time allows I like to play rugby and cricket but unfortunately my age and depreciated body does not allow me to play to my full potential. I have recently been elected to join the parish council.

I was brought up in and around Sherborne. Educated locally then attended Kingston Mauward Agricultural College. I have travelled and spent some time in America with the Ohio State University.

Jill Oliver

Councillor

Harry and I came to Poyntington 4 years ago after 25 years of living in West London under one of the flight paths to Heathrow.  As you can imagine, the tranquility here is its greatest attraction.  We have found Poyntington to be a very friendly, welcoming village where we feel very much at home.  As a councillor, I hope to keep the village in touch with issues that may affect us all.

Jason Perryman

Councillor

Hello, my name is Jason Perryman and I’ve lived in the local area most of my life. I moved to Oborne in 1993 with my wife Karen who is currently the secretary of the village hall. We have two children and we all enjoy being a part of the lovely village community which makes Oborne so special.

I have a small building business and agricultural experience/ qualifications. Being one of the younger Councillors I still play for Sherborne Rugby Club on a regular basis. I also play the trombone in a big band.

I hope to use my experience and skills to benefit the Parish.

Michael A Fraser

Parish Clerk

I came to Oborne in 2000 having retired as Head of English at Beanfield Comprehensive School, Corby, Northants. Christine and I moved down here to be closer to our family, Mark who is Head of Drama and Theatre Studies at Clayesmore School, Nr Blandford, and Jayne who works for Plymouth City Council.

Between retiring from teaching and moving to Dorset I was treasurer of Accommodation Concern, a charity supporting homeless people in Kettering, and was an adviser and committee member for Welfare Rights, also in Kettering, and helped to introduce computerised records for both organisations.

I was appointed clerk to the parish council in 2002 and thoroughly enjoy the responsibility involved in the work. I am also thrilled that the council has decided to set up its own website.
