New Chair At Comrades Hall

Village resident, Parish Councillor and former Booking Clerk, Jacqui Sewell is now Chairperson of the Management Committee at Broadwindsor’s Comrades Hall.  Jacqui is supported by Dave Chumbley, Secretary (pictured right) and Brian Stone, Treasurer.

Hiring Charges were reviewed and rates will be increased from 1st June 2022 and will be published at a later date.  Local users will be eligible for a 20% discount on the standard rates.  Those who have booked the Hall prior to the price increase will have their agreed rates honoured.
It was also agreed to offer new users wishing to run a weekly event a 20% introductory discount for their first 2 weeks to assist them starting up.

Mick Massey from Broadwindsor Fun Group is in charge of the new audio system to be installed.  The audio equipment will be purchased with funds received by the BFG as part of their Jubilee celebrations and will lead to workshops later in the year, training younger people how to use the equipment.

The Comrades Hall has received its own funding to upgrade the play equipment in Bernards’ Place – another project spear headed by David Leader, and this is timetabled for later in the year.

If you wish to book the Comrades Hall for your event, please contact:

Booking Clerk – Kirsty Moore

Broadwindsor Fun Group Secures Funding For Jubilee

Some good news for our village received today 🙂

I am more than pleased to announce that after much hard work by the Broadwindsor Fun Group committee, particularly Wendy and Michele, we have secured a  grant from the Community Foundation  Let’s Create Jubilee Fund which was oversubscribed by five times the amount available. This award of £5000 will go a long way to our Jubilee plans. We have already earmarked a considerable part of this towards updating Comrades Hall sound system and this was something I was pleased to discuss with David Leader several weeks ago. No doubt he would have been more than pleased to know that our bid was successful.

However, whilst this grant will assist greatly we do still need people to staff stalls and help with a shift working at the bar & BBQ. Please make contact if you can assist. 

Thank you all for your support.

Adrian Gray
Chair BFG.

Congratulations!
