Broadwindsor’s Talent Showcase

There was standing room only on Sunday, 19th June when the following artists took to the Comrades Hall stage and delivered an afternoon of wonderful entertainment in the Broadwindsor Fun Group project ‘Broadwindsor’s Got Talent 2023‘.

Chrissie Miller, president of the W.I. acted as MC for the event. It began with a story from Ali about chocolate cake…

The W.I. then presented ‘The Three Ages of Women‘…

Oscar and Fin performed showing their drumming and keyboard skills…

The first half closed with the children from Broadwindsor School...

The second half opened with ‘A Charming Affair‘ performed by Camille, Rita, Izzy & John…

Peter the Poet performed a rendition of his work…

Then we had Rob Fry & his girls…

The afternoon closed with the audience joining in with ‘A Little Help From My Friends‘…

Outgoing Chairman, Adrian Gray thanked those involved…

A Great Big Thank You to everyone who took part and helped organise the event 🙂

Broadwindsor Fun Group Put On Talent Show & Fun Day

Put the dates on your calendar and in your diary:
Sunday, 11th June 5 – 7pm and Sunday, 25th June from 12noon 🙂

In response to the questionnaires returned, Broadwindsor Fun Group are putting on a Talent Show at The Comrades Hall on Sunday 11th June. (NB: This is a performance and not a competition!)
This is to be a showcase of local talent – musicians, comedians, poets and any performers from the parish who would like to take part. Places and time slots will be limited so anyone wishing to take part must contact Wendy Shields or Camille Newall in person or email bwfunday20@gmail.com as soon as possible please.
Available nearer the time, tickets for the event will be £3, to include a complimentary drink on arrival, Under 16’s FREE

Again, in response to the questionnaires returned, The Fun Day will be on Sunday, 25th June and will commence at 12noon. It will be a scaled down event from last year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations and there is less space available in Bernards’ Place but favourite activities will still be there 🙂

Rather than addressing the many global issues that are currently taking place around our world, the Fun Group are keeping it local and very open for interpretation with the theme of “Farming Life” for their Scarecrow competition!

There will be a barbecue, a bar, refreshments from our excellent W.I., stalls and games – a day of fun!

There will be live music including the lovely Nina Garcia who will be welcomed back to perform too.

Chairman, Adrian Gray thanks those who have offered their ‘hands on help‘ with the event, (all should have received an email by now but if not or if you’d like to help then please do get in touch). There will be a Happy Helpers meeting on Sunday, 16th April at 3pm.
bwfunday20@gmail.com.

Looking forward to Fun and, we hope, the Sunshine!

Broadwindsor Fun Day To Be Held In June

Questionnaire update from Chairman of Broadwindsor Fun Group, Adrian Gray:

Earlier this month. the Fun Group hand delivered questionnaires to every house in Broadwindsor and Hursey plus a few to the wider community.

The purpose being to assess the community’s thoughts on holding events this year and to seek support in the administration of these. Indeed the group has had a great deal of success over the last few years bringing together various individuals and village groups to ensure that things are inclusive and community based.

I have now personally read every reply and would like to express my and the Fun Group’s gratitude to those who have taken the time to complete and return the forms. If anyone has not returned their form, you can drop it off at the shop so that their thoughts can be added to the mix. Whilst those received already are now undergoing further assessment, it is noted that several people have made great suggestions and a few offered to help at any event held. Indeed the positive nature of the replies is very appreciated. One person felt it appropriate use this platform to make a personal attack on me and the Fun Group. This individual also failed to make any constructive suggestions and lacked any moral courage by choosing to not say who they were. I would appeal to this person to make contact with me so that their grievances can be identified, discussed and hopefully a positive way forward be formulated. Their comments are at odds with other returns but should still be valued and considered.

We are still looking for more people to work with and possibly on, the planning team for events. The current four people simply cannot bear the load alone.

Finally the headline finding is that people do not support an event in the village to celebrate the Coronation and favour an event in June. This is not to say that the Parish Council or another group may well run an event. We also need to consider some of the new suggestions made by some but again we need people to join the planning team.

Given the positive nature of the questionnaire returns, together with the lovely comments made personally to me and others I would suggest that the village is far from fractured as some may suggest. I optimistically look forward to more people coming on board.

Missing Yellow Crate

A large yellow crate, identical to the one in the photograph, is missing from Saturday’s Fun Day event.

The crate is one of three which were being used to cover electrical points in Bernards’ Place and were on loan to the Group. The missing crate is also marked with the name ‘David Haines‘. If someone has inadvertently picked it up for packing – please return it at your earliest convenience to Broadwindsor Community Stores or contact bwfunday20@gmail.com and collection will be arranged. It has to be returned a.s.a.p. else the Group may not be permitted to borrow such equipment in the future.

Thank you.
