Celebration Gig – A Successful Evening

There wasn’t much room for dancing as the Comrades Hall was at full capacity on Saturday night. All band members were from within a 25-mile radius and all performed well but the stars of the evening had to be Phil and Lauren Rosenberg who, following there enclore continued to be applauded as they left the main hall 🙂

McIntyre: Tina, Pete & Warren had travelled from Yeovil and performed with Dave and Ann Shaw and Mick Massey.

Local band HiDDen: Hazel, Dave and Rick.

Last to perform – No photos as yet – Cell Division were Ian, Des, Andrew, Paul and Simon from Puncknowle, Cattistock & Grimstone.

Organisers Dave and Ann Shaw released the following news:

We think we can safely say that a good time was had by all at the Save The White Lion fundraising gig on Saturday night!
We raised a whopping £1,350 (updated) on the night, which will be used to help fund the pub’s sound system/PPL-PRS licence.
Massive thanks to everyone involved for all your hard work and efforts over the past few months, and to all the lovely people who supported the event.
Here’s to much music-making at The White Lion!

The White Lion Sub-Group Now A ‘Community Sub-Committee’

In response to the many questions being asked on several occasions, it would appear that the sub-group have become a Community Sub-Committee and are creating another questionnaire…

The White Lion Community Sub-committee:

The community sub-committee comprises Sara Dyke, Izzy Masey, Annie Bowman and Dorothy Rowe and has met 3 times to date. Their first meeting involved “brainstorming” every possible community use of the space within the pub both out of and within licensing hours.

From this meeting a draft consultation questionnaire was devised ready for distribution once the pub is open. The farming community was contacted and likewise Rev Jo for feedback and ideas for pub use.

It should be stressed that the intention is to complement the use of Comrades Hall rather than to compete with it.

The refurbishment of the pub will create a versatile area which can be used as a community space as well as a traditional pub, although the business’s long-term viability depends on it being a successful pub first and foremost and this remains our priority.

The sub-committee have also visited the Axminster Waffle House which runs as a community not for profit cafe and runs community groups and outreach work for community benefit which could be duplicated here in Broadwindsor.

The hope is to release the questionnaire once the pub has opened and have a community notice board within the pub for residents to also have their say. Collaboration with Kate regarding her time and ability to host/facilitate new ventures is also crucial.

The sub-committee is mindful of getting a community space absolutely right and will be thinking carefully about what can realistically be delivered, to start slowly and then gain momentum. The pub will be a truly community pub to be used by all as we have all worked so hard and donated so generously for this vision.

The White Lion – Update #13

The White Lion Management Committee met yesterday and the following was discussed:

Refurbishment:

The refurb is going very well, with work going on this week on painting the bar.
Installing the floor in the bar.
Creating an upholstered bench seat.

We are in desperate need of people to prep, sand and paint the rear corridor and toilets as soon as possible.
Please call into the pub if you can help.

Kitchen equipment update:

All in hand, with a view to using Palmers purchasing power.

Drinks product range:

Detailed discussions underway on range and pricing, taking into account price rises from 1st April.

Music system:

The Celebration Gig on Saturday 2 April in Comrades Hall will raise money for a new sound system for playing background music.

Further fundraising:

Although the pub’s future is secured, further fundraising will be necessary along the way for other items. For example, Phase 2 will include refurbishment of the courtyard garden.

Furniture:

Palmers are swapping some of the furniture to replace it with better quality items.
Need volunteers to put felt pads on the legs of furniture.

Celebration Gig, Saturday 2 April, 7-11pm:

Committee members helping to set up tables and chairs at 2pm and helping on door and bar.

Community use of pub:

Sub-group* recognises we need to get pub open first before organising community group use.
Excellent feedback on farmers’ breakfast with offer of organising help from a local farmer.

Membership:

201 requests for membership.
Certificates to be issued.

Opening:

It is looking like the pub will be open for drinks by the end of April, with the food offer available at a later date once the kitchen is fully up and running.

Rick Dyke (Chair)
Margery Hookings (Vice-Chair & Minutes Secretary)
