Dorset Designers

The Editor would like to express their thanks to Jacqui & Dawn at Dorset Designers for their sponsorship in the form of Broadwindsor.org‘s colourful banner on display this celebratory weekend 🙂

Jacqui, as many will now know, led the spectacular Bunting Project for the Platinum Jubilee which decorates all around our village and Bernards’ Place, inside the Comrades Hall and the White Lion too!

Dorset Designers have been making unique Machine Embroidery Gifts for more than 10 years. Some lovely examples are shown  below. To discuss please contact: dawn519@sky.com or jacquisewell@me.com.

Thank you Dorset Designers 🙂

Enjoy your weekend!

Broadwindsor’s Jubilee Beacon – TONIGHT, 2nd June, 9.15pm

Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations for the weekend begin tonight with the lighting of the Beacon.

The photograph shows the ironwork created and donated by village resident & craftsman, Rob Hedditch. This will be attached to the pole of the beacon before it is lit this evening. Thank you to Rob!

Tilly Jardine will be performing on her bugle. Pip Cadwell, caretaker of the beacon since 1997 will light it 🙂

The newly formed Broadwindsor Platinum Jubilee Choir will have their debut performance singing ‘A Life Filled With Grace‘ simultaneously  with choirs around the world at 9.45pm. They will perform it again on Saturday afternoon.

The specially prepared Beacon tarts (learn more HERE) will be available at The White Lion afterwards for a free tasting – it is on a first come, first served basis so be quick!

Note: there are not many Souvenir Programmes left – some in the pub and the last delivery was made to the shop yesterday! The Chairman will have some on sale tonight.

Enjoy your weekend!

T-Shirts For Tommy

Samples of T-shirts with the winning slogan of “Broadwindsor Where Community Matters” will be on sale & orders taken on Saturday, 4th June at the village Fun Day.

Profits will go towards the purchase of a memorial for those lost in conflict, similar to the one shown.  At present no external memorial exists in our village.

The T-shirts, which are of high quality, are £15 each. This generates a profit of £2 per T-shirt to go towards the purchase of a Tommy style memorial and thereby supporting the Royal British Legion. Remember to state your size when ordering!

If you have any questions or orders, please contact Adrian Gray: chagoigray@gmail.com putting T-shirt in the subject title.

The range of Tommy‘s available from the Royal British Legion can be viewed HERE.
