Vikki posted the announcement on social media yesterday:

“It is with much sadness that we have to inform you that we have handed in our notice to the brewery and will be leaving the White Lion in the near future.  There are many reasons for this hard decision ( financial,  family , covid ). We would like to thank all of you who have supported us over the years,  including Palmers,  who have supported us 100% especially during covid. We will let you know more details as and when we have them.”

This will be a great loss to the community and although sad to be losing them, we wish them both every happiness for their future.

Comrades Hall AGM – Monday 26th April

Broadwindsor Comrades Hall AGM will be held on Monday 26 April, starting at 7 pm sharp, via Zoom. The first CHMC (Comrades Hall Management Committee) meeting will follow straight after, also via Zoom.

Membership of CHMC is open to all persons 16yrs and over. No previous experience is necessary just a desire to get involved with the Community to ensure that the village hall is there for all, for a long time to come.

We are currently exploring several major projects in the Hall and in the playground area Bernards’ Place. We have seen local people already start on these projects. More work will be necessary in the coming months so more Volunteers would be very welcome. Who knows, maybe your idea or expertise could be the one to help make these happen.

If you are interested in joining us please contact me for an application form.

I look forward to welcoming you onto the CHMC.

Dave Chumbley, Secretary
Comrades Hall Management Committee

Contact: 01308 868286  // 07805 421 888  // drchumbley@yahoo.com

Happy Easter From The Heart

This beautiful photograph was taken by the owner of the hive.  The beekeeper forgot to put the frames in which the bees collect honey, and the bees built their own architecture from the honeycomb, which takes into account natural ventilation, so that the air can flow freely and maintain a stable temperature. This is the heart.

The photograph was posted on social media by Ernesto Murguía

Happy Easter!

Prout Bridge Project CrowdFunding To Serve The Parish

Used by many children in the Parish, the Prout Bridge Project are fundraising on CrowdFunder to buy, kit out and staff an outreach vehicle – so that they can take the Prout Bridge Project out and about within Beaminster and the surrounding villages (including Broadwindsor, Drimpton, Marshwood, Mosterton and Salway Ash).

They have a £20,000 target which they are hoping to raise within the month of April 2021.  This is an all or nothing campaign – if they don’t reach the target, they don’t get a penny & your donation will automatically be returned to you.  Here is a 3 minute video to tell you more about their Reaching Out Fundraiser and how your donation will help:

You can read more and donate to their ‘Reaching Out‘ project by clicking HERE.

Their vision is that the Prout Bridge Centre building becomes a thriving and welcoming place for the whole community to share and enjoy, where people can come to chat, make friends, participate and get help and advice.

Their objectives are to:

  1. Offer an inclusive, affordable and varied programme of activities, so that people of all ages in Beaminster and the surrounding area feel they have access to fulfilling things to do, including arts, music, crafts, sport, dance, fitness, learning,  culture and heritage, with a particular focus on helping young people to thrive through the support of youth clubs and targeted youth work.

  2. Fight loneliness, social isolation and intergenerational divides by providing opportunities for people from all backgrounds and of all ages to come together socially, participate in their community, make friends and support each other.

  3. Support people to feel mentally well, achieve healthy lifestyles, be independent, and develop skills that will help them thrive.

  4. Develop a sustainable long- term project which supports the local community, responding to evolving needs and delivering activities, services and facilities that people want, by regularly consulting with the community and local organisations and service providers.

  5. Operate as an “umbrella” charity  nurturing and supporting other charitable and community organisations which share the same objectives.
