Stableyard Restaurant, BroadwindsorFrom Linda at The Stableyard Restaurant:

After a few rather challenging first months of 2021, The Stableyard Restaurant has taken the decision to open the outside eating and takeaways a little later than the 12th of April.
Due to the ever changing English weather, and the financial implications of a few rainy days in April may bring for dining outside we are going to open outside and takeaways on Wednesday 5th May, 11am – 3pm. We will be open for hot and cold drinks, yummy cakes and slices, sandwiches and toasties.
Then the restaurant will fully open on Tuesday 18th May 9.30am (as long as the Government allows)
I know that you are all looking forward to getting back out and myself and staff are looking forward to welcoming you back to the Stableyard Restaurant.

Comrades Hall AGM – Monday 26th April

Broadwindsor Comrades Hall AGM will be held on Monday 26 April, starting at 7 pm sharp, via Zoom. The first CHMC (Comrades Hall Management Committee) meeting will follow straight after, also via Zoom.

Membership of CHMC is open to all persons 16yrs and over. No previous experience is necessary just a desire to get involved with the Community to ensure that the village hall is there for all, for a long time to come.

We are currently exploring several major projects in the Hall and in the playground area Bernards’ Place. We have seen local people already start on these projects. More work will be necessary in the coming months so more Volunteers would be very welcome. Who knows, maybe your idea or expertise could be the one to help make these happen.

If you are interested in joining us please contact me for an application form.

I look forward to welcoming you onto the CHMC.

Dave Chumbley, Secretary
Comrades Hall Management Committee

Contact: 01308 868286  // 07805 421 888  // drchumbley@yahoo.com

Zoom is Free! – Sign Up and get it HERE.

Happy Easter From The Heart

This beautiful photograph was taken by the owner of the hive.  The beekeeper forgot to put the frames in which the bees collect honey, and the bees built their own architecture from the honeycomb, which takes into account natural ventilation, so that the air can flow freely and maintain a stable temperature. This is the heart.

The photograph was posted on social media by Ernesto Murguía

Happy Easter!

Prout Bridge Project CrowdFunding To Serve The Parish

Used by many children in the Parish, the Prout Bridge Project are fundraising on CrowdFunder to buy, kit out and staff an outreach vehicle – so that they can take the Prout Bridge Project out and about within Beaminster and the surrounding villages (including Broadwindsor, Drimpton, Marshwood, Mosterton and Salway Ash).

They have a £20,000 target which they are hoping to raise within the month of April 2021.  This is an all or nothing campaign – if they don’t reach the target, they don’t get a penny & your donation will automatically be returned to you.  Here is a 3 minute video to tell you more about their Reaching Out Fundraiser and how your donation will help:

You can read more and donate to their ‘Reaching Out‘ project by clicking HERE.

Their vision is that the Prout Bridge Centre building becomes a thriving and welcoming place for the whole community to share and enjoy, where people can come to chat, make friends, participate and get help and advice.

Their objectives are to:

  1. Offer an inclusive, affordable and varied programme of activities, so that people of all ages in Beaminster and the surrounding area feel they have access to fulfilling things to do, including arts, music, crafts, sport, dance, fitness, learning,  culture and heritage, with a particular focus on helping young people to thrive through the support of youth clubs and targeted youth work.

  2. Fight loneliness, social isolation and intergenerational divides by providing opportunities for people from all backgrounds and of all ages to come together socially, participate in their community, make friends and support each other.

  3. Support people to feel mentally well, achieve healthy lifestyles, be independent, and develop skills that will help them thrive.

  4. Develop a sustainable long- term project which supports the local community, responding to evolving needs and delivering activities, services and facilities that people want, by regularly consulting with the community and local organisations and service providers.

  5. Operate as an “umbrella” charity  nurturing and supporting other charitable and community organisations which share the same objectives.

The Bishops’ Kitchen – April 21

This month there are two chocolate recipes for children to make over the Easter holidays:

CHUNKY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BISCUITS

115g unsalted butter softened, 115g light muscovado sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 150g self raising flour, 75g porridge oats, 115g plain chocolate roughly chopped, 115g white chocolate roughly chopped.

Method:
Cream the butter & sugar until pale & fluffy. Add the egg & vanilla essence & beat well. Sift the flour over the mixture & fold in with a metal spoon then add the oats & chopped chocolate. Stir in until evenly mixed. Place small spoonfuls of the mixture in 18-20 rocky heaps on lightly greased baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 12-15 mins @ 190c/gas 5 until the biscuits have turned pale golden. Cool for 2-3 mins on the baking sheets then lift onto wire rack. The biscuits will be soft when freshly baked but will harden on cooling.

CHOCOLATE PECAN SQUARES

2eggs, 2tsp vanilla essence, pinch of salt, 175g pecan nuts roughly chopped, 50g plain flour, 50g granulated sugar, 120ml golden syrup, 75g plain chocolate chopped into small pieces, 40g unsalted butter, 16 pecan nut halves to decorate.

Method:
In a bowl whisk the eggs with the vanilla essence & salt. In another bowl mix together the nuts & flour. Put the sugar & golden syrup in a pan & bring to boil. Remove from heat & stir in the chocolate & butter with a wooden spoon until both have dissolved & the mixture is smooth. Stir in the beaten egg mixture then fold in the nuts & flour. Pour the mixture  into a 20cm square baking tin lined with non-stick baking paper & bake  for about 35mins or until firm to touch @160c/gas3. Cool in the tin for 10mins before  turning out on to a wire rack. Cut into 5cm squares & press pecan halves into the tops while still warm cool completely before serving.
