Meet Ian From The Record Vault At Redlands

Explore this family-run record shop! Opening at Redlands Yard on Saturday, 23rd November (10% off sales on opening day!).

Ian & Emma, who live in Drimpton, began their journey as an online store, sharing their passion for music. After ten years, they then decided to branch out into the physical world, creating a space where music lovers can come together. They take great pride in curating a diverse selection of records and fostering a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walks through the doors.
However, the journey really began when Ian worked in a local record shop in Hampshire when he was 14 years young, which is where the, some would say, obsession began! Emma too, loves all types of music and is enthusiastic about the benefits of listening to, and owning vinyl.
Ian said “After buying a house in Drimpton in 2018, and finally having the opportunity to move in permanently in 2023, we have been eyeing a location to start our dream business and Redlands Yard seemed the perfect choice.
As well as enjoying the local community in the Yard, we are looking to start a music club, think book club for records where we will suggest an album to listen to each month and come together socially to discuss our thoughts and ideas, likes and dislikes, and anything else we have found interesting about the LP.” If you are interested, please contact Ian.

As one would expect, Ian and Emma buy vinyls too: 7″ and 12″ singles and LPs offering good prices.  All genres are welcome:

  • Rock
  • Reggae/Ska
  • Punk
  • Prog
  • Pop
  • Disco/Funk
  • Soul
  • Blues

They also provides a service to help retrieve vinyls from storage (lofts, garages, sheds etc.) as well as also making unique gifts for your loved ones (or a treat for yourself!) including a box of genuine, original vinyl from the year of your birth, a framed original of the No.1 when you were born, a meaning full song or album, or your first dance! They can help complete want-lists, convert records for jukeboxes (it’s called ‘dinking’ in case you were interested!).
They look forward to welcoming you into The Record Vault for a browse, to add to your collection, or simply to have a chat about anything music or vinyl related.


You can contact Ian on : 07737 003891
Email: ian@recordvault.co.uk
or just call in to chat all things vinyl! 🙂

Broadwindsor.Org Now At 3 Years

Broadwindsor.Org celebrates three years today 🙂 It began by informing people of the cancellation of events due to the Government’s instructions for everyone to Stay at Home. As our village went into isolation, takeaway dinners and food supplies that were available became important due to last minute changes either with people’s health or new government instruction.  The Sound of Music began on 26th March, creating a one ‘o’ clock socially distanced gathering which helped keep us all sane.

That seems soooo long ago now and soooo much has happened since that time: Familiar people left or lost, new people arrived and welcomed.  My sincere thanks to those businesses, artists and individuals who register and support the website. My work remains voluntary. Renewals at £15 p.a. are currently being prepared for those already registered. New supporters and donations are always welcome.

 The recent warm sunshine optimises our day with fresh hope – Spring has most definitely sprung and Summer is on the way!

🙂 THANK YOU!

Wendy Shields
Editor.

Clive & Kerry Dammert Excited To Keep The White Lion Roaring

Last week Chairman of our Community pub, Rick Dyke announced that  Clive and Kerry Dammert had accepted the offer to form the new Management team at The White Lion.

Most recently, Clive and Kerry have worked in Devon and Cornwall as a Management couple and have experience of both the pub and the hotel businesses. Both are at home either in the kitchen or as Front of House. Clive and Kerry have worked together as a team for over 10 years and are looking forward to bringing their experience to the White Lion.

Kerry commented “Clive and I are excited to be returning to village life and meeting you all. For the past few months we have been working in a hotel environment and realised that we missed the pub life and the connection to the community that comes with running a pub and we are very much looking forward to getting involved in the community.“

Clive and Kerry previously owned and ran a successful business in South Africa.  Their plan is to offer good quality English pub food, using locally sourced ingredients where possible and then add some South African flair on the specials board, dishes like Bobotie, Bunny Chow (no rabbits involved!) and Vetkoek as well as a traditional South African Braai (BBQ) in the Summer. So much to look forward to – we very much look forward to welcoming Clive and Kerry into our community – Where Community Matters 🙂

Big thanks to the many volunteers who have worked front of house and in the kitchen.
They will continue to front The White Lion over the coming weeks until the transition over to Clive and Kerry at the end of this month.
Your efforts are appreciated!

David Leader, who’s untimely death on 13th March last year shocked the whole community, led the ‘Save The White Lion‘ campaign.  His widow Elaine commented: “Everyone who knew David will remember his passion for community, teamwork and pitching in. He would be so proud of the way this village has responded to the challenge to run the pub as a Community Pub in the true sense!”
‘I know he would be saying a massive thank you to all the volunteers who are giving up so much of their time, day after day, working for free, cleaning toilets, working in the kitchen, cooking meals, waiting on tables. Also all the huge amount of relentless work by the management committee and the planning and organising of all the events. He would also be thanking the bar staff for going out of their comfort zones and serving customers, giving up their afternoons and evenings.
‘And to the community in Broadwindsor and surrounding area for supporting the pub and making virtually every event a sell-out. It’s an amazing effort and it shows what an incredible community this is.
‘It would have made David so happy to see everyone pitching in and working together to keep our wonderful pub thriving.’
We couldn’t agree with you more Elaine and thank you too.

Please continue to support our lovely pub:)
