For The Attention Of Members Of Broadwindsor Community Pub Ltd.

From Chairman, Rick Dyke –

In last month’s White Lion newsletter, we gave notice that the Annual Members Meeting will be held on Tuesday, 27th June at 7pm in Comrades Hall. We hope that as many members as possible will attend.

We also advised that the deadline for receipt of nominations to stand for election to the Management Committee is Saturday 20th May. The deadline is set due to the time that is needed to prepare and issue election papers in advance of the Members’ Meeting.

Any members wishing to stand for election should submit their nomination either by email to rickdyke59@gmail.com or in writing and handed in at the White Lion.

Thank you.

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.

Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 19th May

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall on Friday, 19th May, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

Living (12)

Directed by Oliver Hermanus and starring Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood and Alex Sharp,
Running time: 2hrs 4mins.

In 1950s London, a humourless bureaucrat decides to take time off work after a shattering health diagnosis. It dawns on him he has not been living his life to the full. Amidst the fog of his paperwork and his loneliness at home, he yearns to find fulfilment before it’s too late. He is encouraged in his search by two younger colleagues – the vibrant Margaret (Aimee Lou Wood) and idealistic new recruit Peter (Alex Sharp) and a hedonistic stranger, Sutherland (Tom Burke), encountered during a desperate trip to the seaside.

A re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa‘s ‘Ikiru‘ written for the screen by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro. Living serves as a heart-rending reminder to value what it is to live.

  • Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
  • Film Club members – Free entry
  • Guests – £4
  • Refreshments available, including a bar.
  • Seats can be booked in advance by contacting:
    Emma Myers – broadwindsorem@gmail.com or

Celebrate The White Lion’s First Birthday…

…as a Community Pub.

Already, a year has passed since The White Lion re-opened with much celebration…

This Saturday there will be no dinner service but, from 7pm, a finger buffet will be provided by Kerry & Clive who have been excelling all expectations since starting at Easter 🙂

A press release issued yesterday has Chairman Rick Dyke commenting “It’s certainly been an eventful twelve months.“. Thanking the Staff family and the many volunteers, Rick went on to say “We’re delighted that Kerry and Clive have joined us, and we’re excited about the next stage of the White Lion’s progress into a pub that is widely renowned for the quality of its food.”

Ending on a cautionary note, Rick continued “As with the hospitality trade generally, we have seen electricity costs skyrocket over the past year.  To make matters worse, the electricity companies view the trade as a bad risk with many reluctant to even quote, whereas those who do quote clearly see it as an opportunity to charge what they like.
Despite this, support from central government is negligible. Somehow, these spiralling costs need to be met and ultimately, this has to be by the paying customer.  This is where the warm welcome becomes even more vital because without it and the atmosphere it helps generate, what future does the British pub have?”

On King Charles III Coronation weekend, please book now to avoid any disappointment…

 

Please continue to support our lovely pub:)
