Shop Manager Kevin Wins The White Lion Cake

Kevin Madder-Smith, manager at Broadwindsor Community Stores won this glorious cake at this morning’s Three Churches Christmas Coffee Morning.

The cake was a portrayal of The White Lion Pub and was baked by Kate Staff.   It raised £118 for the Save the White Lion fund.

Kate’s last cake raffled on Broadwindsor’s Fun Day raised a similar amount for a charity close to her home and heart, the Turner Syndrome Support Society.  Read more HERE.

The morning was a successful one with good attendance and tasty, warm mince pies.  The Three Churches raised a significant amount in their raffle too 🙂

Congratulations Kevin!

2021’s winner

Homeward Bound by Haydn Canter

Haydn Canter used to paint with his left hand and didn’t think he would ever paint again following his stroke. He was inspired by a local beauty spot in a park where he used to go to enjoy a snack with his dog. The rest comes from his love of winter.

You can purchase a pack of 10 of Haydn’s cards from the Stroke Association’s Christmas shop for £4.49 HERE.

All Broadwindsor’s Advent Windows

As stockings are being hung on Christmas Eve, here are all the Advent windows which were assigned to and displayed by the villagers of Broadwindsor. The creativity and imagination shown was both incredible and beautiful.  Well done to Rev. Jo for coming up with the idea, to all those who participated and thank you to Margery Hookings for providing most of the photographs.  It is certainly going to be a Christmas that no one will forget where they were or what they were doing! Stay Safe.

Please enjoy Broadwindsor’s Advent Windows 2020….

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
