Save The White Lion NEWS Update #5
From David Leader, White Lion Steering Group Chairman:
We are very pleased to say that the Broadwindsor Community Pub is now a legal business. The articles of the business make it clear that this is a community pub run for the benefit of the community and is a not-for-profit organisation.
No business can start without funds and we need to raise about ÂŁ30,000 quickly to carry out essential refurbishment, buy equipment mainly for the kitchen, purchase stock and pay the wages of employees.
Opening the White Lion is going to be a challenge for us all but we believe that we can make it happen. Those wonderful evenings where the community comes together in convivial surroundings with conversation and laughter can happen again.
There will be a public meeting on Tuesday 11 January at 7pm where we can explain our plans, answer questions and listen to suggestions.
We hope to hold this meeting at the Comrades Hall but if this is not allowed because of the Covid situation we will try to hold it on Zoom. We hope that as many people as possible will attend. Please look out for updated information.
The Steering Group would like to thank all those who have shown such an enthusiastic interest in saving the White Lion.
– David Leader, White Lion Steering Group Chairman

Full Moon – Sunday, 19th December
The cold weather is upon us and appropriately, December’s Full Moon is most commonly known as the ‘Cold Moon’. The Moon will be full at 04.35am on Sunday, 19th December.
Other names that indicate the cold and snow given to this Full Moon are:
- Drift Clearing Moon (Cree),
- Frost Exploding Trees Moon (Cree),
- Moon of the Popping Trees (Oglala),
- Hoar Frost Moon (Cree),
- Snow Moon (Haida, Cherokee),
- Winter Maker Moon (Western Abenaki)
- Moon When the Deer Shed Their Antlers (Dakota)
- Little Spirit Moon (Anishinaabe).
This Full Moon has also been called the Long Night Moon (Mohican), as it rises during the “longest” nights of the year, which are near the December winter solstice.
In Europe, ancient pagans called the December Full Moon the “Moon Before Yule,” in honour of the Yuletide festival celebrating the return of the sun heralded by winter solstice.
