Procession for Harry Isaacs 7.30pm This Evening.

Harry Isaacs, the young farmer who tragically lost his life earlier this week, will be celebrated this evening by a tractor procession from Mosterton to Beaminster Square for a Memorial service and tributes from family and friends.

As you’d expect, things are subject to change but the plan is . . .

  • 6.45pm – Marshall meeting in Beaminster Square.
  • 7pm – Procession gathering in Mosterton.
  • 7.30pm – Procession departs Mosterton. Slow drive.
  • 8pm – Arrive in Beaminster Square
  • 8pm – Tributes and speeches
  • 8.30pm – Candles lit and one minute silence.
  • 9pm – Start to clear the Square

Please remember face coverings and social distancing where possible.
The Highways and Police are informed and are in full support of this but would respectfully ask that the town is cleared by 9.15pm.
You are invited to bring “Flags, flowers, photos, banners, candles, cheers and good vibes for this special young man and his family and all of us grieving at this very sad time.”
A true and fitting tribute to such a beautiful young man with the biggest smile of anyone we’ve ever known.
Hearts together.❤️

Harry’s Tribute Page is HERE.

The fundraising page for a Memorial Bench for Harry (with any surplus going to his parents) can be found HERE.

There are numbered zones on the ramps which will help with social distancing and make users feel safe. Rob said: “If we get busy or we have youngsters we can say, ‘stay in that zone’ and people can keep in their zones, not just because of the virus, but if they are learning, hopefully it will stop a collision or two.”

Don’t want to take part but watch?

Rob Ridge and Dom Brown, known for The Trick Factory indoor skate park which closed in St Michael’s, Bridport in 2016 got the thumbs up from Dorset Council to change the use of unit 2A from a general industrial unit, to a skate park, with support by Bradpole parish council.  They and their team would like to thank all those who donated to the facility’s Crowdfunder and all the local businesses that donated money or equipment.
They are still seeking volunteers to supervise and businesses to advertise at the skate park.  Keep up to date and communicate with them through their Facebook page HERE.
