Can You Help Accommodate 7 Horses?

A Pilsdon resident, Kelly Kimi is reaching out to neighouring villages with the following request:

“Hi everyone,
I’m looking for grazing for my small herd of 7 horses. Most are small ponies and live on fresh air, so I don’t need a huge field. 4-5 acres would suit us, although we have had much larger fields too.

Does anyone knows of anywhere nearby ?

I am tidy, knowledgeable, kind and committed to looking after my horse family. I have good references too.

Thanking people in advance, I can be reached by email on: kelimac_2000@yahoo.com.”

Telephone Box Book Exchange Update #3

Once again the village is indebted to Chris Edgerley and his helpers who are restoring the historic phone box in the centre of the village.


They are doing a wonderful job and it will become a great library and book exchange for the use of all residents. Malcolm Heaver will make a purpose built shelving system using all his carpentry skills.

Our again sincere thanks to all the people who have brought this important landmark back to life.

Wendy Shields will manage the library on an ongoing basis.

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 £30,000 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
