Broadwindsor’s Jubilee Beacon – TONIGHT, 2nd June, 9.15pm

Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations for the weekend begin tonight with the lighting of the Beacon.

The photograph shows the ironwork created and donated by village resident & craftsman, Rob Hedditch. This will be attached to the pole of the beacon before it is lit this evening. Thank you to Rob!

Tilly Jardine will be performing on her bugle. Pip Cadwell, caretaker of the beacon since 1997 will light it 🙂

The newly formed Broadwindsor Platinum Jubilee Choir will have their debut performance singing ‘A Life Filled With Grace‘ simultaneously  with choirs around the world at 9.45pm. They will perform it again on Saturday afternoon.

T-Shirts For Tommy

Samples of T-shirts with the winning slogan of “Broadwindsor Where Community Matters” will be on sale & orders taken on Saturday, 4th June at the village Fun Day.

Profits will go towards the purchase of a memorial for those lost in conflict, similar to the one shown.  At present no external memorial exists in our village.

The T-shirts, which are of high quality, are £15 each. This generates a profit of £2 per T-shirt to go towards the purchase of a Tommy style memorial and thereby supporting the Royal British Legion. Remember to state your size when ordering!

If you have any questions or orders, please contact Adrian Gray: chagoigray@gmail.com putting T-shirt in the subject title.

The range of Tommy‘s available from the Royal British Legion can be viewed HERE.

‘Belfast’ (12) – Drimpton 8th June, Broadwindsor 17th June

Both Community Film Clubs are showing ‘Belfast’ this month.  It is rated 12 and lasts 94 minutes.

Written and directed by Academy Award winner Kenneth Branagh, starring Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Jude Hill, Dame Judi Dench, Ciaran Hinds & Colin Morgan.

Belfast is a poignant story of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood amid the music and social tumult of the late 1960s. Buddy’s family lives in a largely Protestant district with a few Catholic families, but one day his community and everything he thought he understood about life is suddenly turned upside down.  Buddy’s family gets caught in the mayhem and must decide to stay or leave the only place they have ever called home.  Through it all, his passionate parents (Caitriona Balfe and Jamie Dornan) and quick-witted grandparents (Academy Award winner Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds) keep the joy alive through music and the magic of movies in this feel good story that reminds us that no matter how far you go, you never forget where you came from.

  • Drimpton Film Club Members – Free entry.
  • Guests – £4
  • Refreshments available: Wine, Beer, Tea & Coffee.
