Watch The Gypsy King At The Knapp Inn

There is much suspense and anticipation, Tyson ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury is set to defend his heavyweight crown against top contender Dillian Whyte on 23rd April at Wembley Stadium,

To watch the match – one would need to have BT Sports and then pay an additional £24.95.
Alternatively, one could go to the Knapp Inn at Clay Lane, Beaminster, enjoy a drink and watch with some sporting atmosphere!

  • Tyson Fury (22 KOs), based in Morecambe, has held the heavyweight title since November 28th, 2015, the night he ended the nearly decade-long championship run of Wladimir Klitschko. He fights on home soil for the first time in almost four years.
  • Dillian Whyte (KOs), who was raised in Brixton, London, earned a shot at Fury with a seven-year run as a world-level heavyweight.

Around 94,000 fans are expected to pack into Wembley Stadium.
Ring walks for the main event are expected any time between 9.45pm and 10.15pm – although the unpredictable nature of live boxing means this could be subject to change.

Any questions? Contact Lesley at the Knapp Inn: 01308 862408.

COVID Vaccine Availability Update

An update from Mike Hewiston at Beaminster Pharmacy:
“It’s been a while since I posted one of these. You may have noticed that the NHS has started offering bookings for over 75 COVID boosters for patients who don’t have a weakened immune system.
We intend to run some clinics at the town hall – dates to be confirmed.
At the moment there is not a large volume of vaccine in the system which means that appointments everywhere may be scarce during this initial period. Eventually vaccine supply will catch up, but please do not panic, everyone who is entitled will get their vaccine. Current target is to vaccinate people around 6 months after their last dose.
Please be patient, there are patients who still need 1st, 2nd and 3rd doses as well. Our team will make sure that you get what you need, but we can’t vaccinate everyone in a few days.
Thanks,
Mike & Team
Beaminster Pharmacy/Town Hall“

Tree Planting At Broadwindsor Allotments

Sixty tree saplings were planted at Broadwindsor Allotments on Sunday, 13th March 2022 by a very enthusiatic group of 1st Beaminster Beaver Scouts.

The trees were donated to the group by the Woodland Trust as part of the Queen’s Jubilee Green Canopy project, where community groups were invited to plant trees in community spaces across the UK through the Jubilee year, to create a network of individual trees, hedgerows and woodlands in honour of the Queen’s service and the legacy she has built.
This will create a green legacy of its own, with every tree planted bringing benefits for people, wildlife and climate, now and for the future.

The planting was carried out in conjunction with the Broadwindsor Allotment Group and the Broadwindsor Eco-Group, (many thanks to Sheila and Bill of the BAG for their assistance), and also helps the Beavers complete part of their badge work for earning a Community Impact award.

The Beavers not only learned how to plant a tree correctly, but also why native species (dogwood, dog-rose, hawthorn, crab apple and  hazel) are so important to local wildlife.
Some of the Beavers scouts live in Broadwindsor and/or attend Broadwindsor school, so it is lovely that they will be able to see the trees grow over time! 🙂

Even if you haven’t been involved in Scouting before, there is a warm welcome for those wishing to try Scouting for the first time in the 1st Beaminster Scout Group!

Bus Back Better – Take Part On Wed 19th & Thurs 20th Jan 22

In October Dorset Council submitted their Bus Service Improvement Plan on time to the Department for Transport. Since that time they have been working on the next stage – the Enhanced Partnership.

As part of the ongoing process they would like to invite Town and Parish Councils to a stakeholder briefing session to be held via Teams to explain the Enhanced Partnership process, their plans for governance and bus user representation, the work conducted to get them to the stage and the timeline for completing the process by the end of March 2022.

Cllr. Simon Christopher did report on the Enhanced Partnership Plan but made no mention of this invitation for you to be heard.  You are invited to attend either of the sessions being held on Wednesday 19 January at 10am and Thursday 20 January at 2pm. 

To attend either briefing session, you need to have Microsoft Teams installed.  Microsoft Teams is free – you can download it HERE. Please then click on the appropriate button below.

  • Wednesday at 10am – click HERE.
