Monthly Watch & Clock Clinic Starts Friday, 3rd March

Derek Bond will be offering a 2 hour watch & clock clinic at the Comrades Hall alongside the Post Office on the first Friday of the month (Subject to support). The first one will be on Friday, 3rd March, 10am – 12 noon

Bring along your watches that have been lying in drawers for years or that old clock that stopped working… how long ago? Derek also offers replacement batteries or watch straps.

Customers will need to pay for any replacement parts used but Derek is only requesting a small donation for his services to go to the Post Office Users Group fund.

Derek who’s now retired, lives in Thorncombe and we appreciate another skilled service that can be accessed directly in our eclectic village 🙂

Meet Rebecca Burt – Broadwindsor’s New Councillor

Broadwindsor resident Rebecca Burt has been co-opted to Broadwindsor’s Group Parish Council to represent the Broadwindsor ward.

Bex, as she’s known to her friends and colleagues, moved to the village in 2018 with her husband Martin and their son Eddie who attends Broadwindsor school. Bex brings a wealth of experience as a teacher and working with young people and has volunteered at both the community shop and outreach post office.

We wish Bex the very best in her new role 🙂
