The popular Melplash Show, due to take place on 27th August is unsurprisingly cancelled this year. However, the Bridport Museum Trust are in collaboration and from the 13th – 27th August they are sharing Melplash photographs and objects from their collections online. They are inviting locals to do the same.
There are old photographs already being submitted to their Facebook page including the black and white one below where they are asking for identification of the prize winning lady in the photograph!
“You can share your favourite memories, anecdotes, memorabilia, photos or videos…. anything at all. We want to see your fluffy sheep, handsome cows, massive tractors…..just post on our Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram @bridportmuseum using the hashtag #MelplashMemories.”
Thankfully, if you’re not a fan of social media – you can simply email your images to director@bridportmuseum.co.uk and they will post it up for you.
Cancellation of the show does not mean no show badges! For 2020 they have produced a limited edition badge which is available to pick up from Bridport Tourist Information Centre.

Blue Green Algae (or ‘cyanobacteria’), is a type of bacteria, most commonly found in stagnant water. It is dangerous and deadly to dogs! This is a seasonal problem but so dangerous that dog owners need reminding!
It’s called ‘algae’ because it often forms a green scum on the surface of water. Not all types of blue green algae are dangerous, but some produce toxins that spread throughout the water and if swallowed, can cause organ damage and potentially death.
Your dog is at risk of blue green algae poisoning if they swim in, or drink contaminated water. Blue green algae can be difficult to spot and its toxins can’t be seen by the naked eye. However, the bacteria does produce a potent odour has been compared to rotting vegetables – so it’s very important to know what to look out for before allowing your dog to swim.
This is alarming but the British Veterinary Association has stated that dogs and other pets exposed to the algae could experience vomiting, diarrhoea, disorientation and seizures, potentially leading to liver damage and death.
Symptoms, which usually arise anywhere from 15 minutes to several days after exposure may include:
If any of these signs occur, contact your vet immediately. If caught early enough, your vet may be able to flush out the toxins before your dog becomes completely affected.
If you become aware of a location with Blue Green Algae – please report it to the Environment Agency on 0800 80 70 60. They will be able to test the water and put a sign up to warn other people if blue-green algae is found. It’s better to be safe than sorry so if you’re worried, report it.

“The Craft Centre [Redlands Yard] notified us all that they are making changes. This includes major development of the centre, and due to their changes they have asked me to give up StudiOne which many of you have enjoyed mine & other craft classes.
I was so looking forward to getting back to teaching in September and making exciting plans to celebrate 21 years of business.
As you know the teaching is a huge part of The Fabric Larder and I am afraid one doesn’t survive with out the other. With all the changes & disruption to come on the site and with out teaching space, running solely a shop isn’t viable so I am looking to relocate!!
I am not in a hurry to relocate but will only be open at the centre [Redlands Yard] until 25th August.
I have viewed a few places but also with the virus still lurking & economic hardship to many I have decided not to rush anything.
I have a trusty van called Florry. She is currently a van with a bed & cooker, but how about I change that around to shelves & fabric! I will mail you about that later. OR, if you would like to express interest on me visiting your group with a mobile shop in your area please email me HERE.
I am sussing out town & village locations for pop up classes & patchwork surgeries! Help with on going projects will be at hand! Keep signed up to the news letter to wait for more information & dates.
OPEN HOURS UNTIL 25th AUGUST. (L A S T D A Y in Broadwindsor)
Tuesdays – Friday 10:30-4pm
Saturdays 10:30-3pm
CAFE OPEN.
I have a small 1/2 price Fabric Sale & bargain baskets. Stock up with your wadding / calico/ plains / essentials”

With lovely sunshine forecast, the theme for 2020’s National Allotments Week is Growing Food for Health and Well-being, a reflection of the many benefits of growing, cooking and eating your own fruit and vegetables.
National Allotments Week started in 2002 as a way of raising awareness of allotments and the role they play in helping people to live healthier lifestyles, grow their own food, develop friendships and bolster communities. The campaign week is still thriving 18 years later and interest in growing your own fruit and vegetables has never been stronger since the WW2 Grow for Victory campaign.
They ran a competition last month asking for ‘My Allotment Story‘ from entrants in the form of videos and storyboards, the winner will be announced on August 10th.
The National Society of Allotment & Leisure Gardeners Ltd, whose Patron is HRH Prince of Wales, has existed in one form or another as far back as 1901, when the Agricultural Organisation Society’s aims, established co-operation amongst agriculturists and the organisation of small holdings and allotments. It was Registered in 1930 under the Industrial & Provident Societies Acts.
In the late 1500’s under Elizabeth I common lands used by the poor for growing food and keeping animals began to be enclosed dispossessing the poor. In compensation allotments of land were attached to tenant cottages. This is the first ever mention of allotments.
