Full Moon – Friday, 5th May

This month, the Moon will be Full at 18.34hrs on Friday, 5th May.

Frequently referred to as the Flower Moon, other names attributed to this Moon which is full of the promise of summer are:

Leaf Budding Moon
Planting Moon
Egg Laying Moon
Field Making Moon
Frog Moon
Moon Of The Shedding Ponies!

Black Moon is not a well known astronomical term. In recent years, the term has been made popular by social media, astrologers, and followers of the Wiccan religion. It occurs at the time of the New Moon. You cannot see it! The sky is completely dark. A Black Moon frequently is used when the following occur:

2nd New Moon in the same month – the most common type, occurring approximately once every 29 months.
3rd New Moon in a season of four New Moons – occur about once every 33 months.
No New Moon in February – occurring approximately every 19 years. This can only happen in February, as this is the only month which is shorter than a lunar month. When this occurs, both January and March have two New Moons, instead of just one., By this definition, the next Black Moon will occur in 2033,
No Full Moon in February – also occurring approximately every 19 years. In this instance, there are two Full Moons in January and March, also known as a double Blue Moon. The next Black Moon by this definition will occur in 2037, while the last one was in 2018.

Clock & Watch Clinic – Tuesday, 4th April

Derek Bond was welcomed and kept busy at the beginning of the month when he visited The Comrades Hall.

Intended to be on the first Friday of each month, next Friday is Good Friday and there will be no Post Office services so Derek is coming in on Tuesday morning instead at 10am.

Bring along your watches that have been lying in drawers for years or that old clock that stopped working… how long ago? Derek also offers replacement batteries or watch straps.
Customers will need to pay for any replacement parts used but Derek is only requesting a small donation for his services to go to the Post Office Users Group fund 🙂

Village Dance & Party – Saturday, 25th March

Next Saturday, 25th March, village residents are invited to a FREE party at the Comrades Hall from 7.30pm.

Village resident John Staff had the idea for pre-Covid residents to meet with new village residents who have arrived either during or since the pandemic 🙂

Admission is free but a ticket is required for entry (to help with catering numbers). Tickets can be obtained from Broadwindsor Community Stores or ask someone to pick one up for you! Inform or invite your new neighbours 🙂 Alternatively, telephone John Staff on 01308 868584.

Music will be provided by our village band, McIntyre led by Dave and Ann Shaw. Enjoy songs from as far back as the 1950’s through to the 1990’s that’ll get you on your feet dancing.

There will be a bar and light nibbles will be provided.

The event has been sponsored by Broadwindsor Fun Group whose Fun Day this year is on Sunday, 25th June.

Enjoy & Have Fun!

Broadwindsor Fun Group Put On Talent Show & Fun Day

Put the dates on your calendar and in your diary:
Sunday, 11th June 5 – 7pm and Sunday, 25th June from 12noon 🙂

In response to the questionnaires returned, Broadwindsor Fun Group are putting on a Talent Show at The Comrades Hall on Sunday 11th June. (NB: This is a performance and not a competition!)
This is to be a showcase of local talent – musicians, comedians, poets and any performers from the parish who would like to take part. Places and time slots will be limited so anyone wishing to take part must contact Wendy Shields or Camille Newall in person or email bwfunday20@gmail.com as soon as possible please.
Available nearer the time, tickets for the event will be £3, to include a complimentary drink on arrival, Under 16’s FREE

Again, in response to the questionnaires returned, The Fun Day will be on Sunday, 25th June and will commence at 12noon. It will be a scaled down event from last year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations and there is less space available in Bernards’ Place but favourite activities will still be there 🙂

Rather than addressing the many global issues that are currently taking place around our world, the Fun Group are keeping it local and very open for interpretation with the theme of “Farming Life” for their Scarecrow competition!

There will be a barbecue, a bar, refreshments from our excellent W.I., stalls and games – a day of fun!

There will be live music including the lovely Nina Garcia who will be welcomed back to perform too.

Chairman, Adrian Gray thanks those who have offered their ‘hands on help‘ with the event, (all should have received an email by now but if not or if you’d like to help then please do get in touch). There will be a Happy Helpers meeting on Sunday, 16th April at 3pm.
bwfunday20@gmail.com.

Looking forward to Fun and, we hope, the Sunshine!
