The Silver Lining Band – Friday, 30th September At White Lion

The Silver Lining Band performed at Broadwindsor Fun Group‘s Sunday afternoon Platinum Jubilee celebrations.  They are making a welcome return to Broadwindsor on Friday, 30th September for The White Lion’s very first music night since becoming a community pub 🙂

We love the band for their Fifties and Sixties pop and rock and roll covers and it looks set to be a great evening!

Saturday’s Fun Group Christmas Party Cancelled

On the anniversary of the party that didn’t take place at 10 Downing Street last year, there will be no festive party at the Comrades Hall this Saturday.  Due to the Omnicron variant now being present in the village and surrounding areas, Broadwindsor Fun Group have been left with no alternative but to cancel this Saturday’s Festive Fun event.

Full refunds are available to ticket holders from the village shop.

The Silver Lining Band will be invited back in the new year and to raise funds for next year’s jubilee event, the Festive Hamper will now be raffled off in Broadwindsor Community Stores at £1 a ticket. 🙂

Chairman, Adrian Gray thanked everyone for their efforts.

As the event is cancelled, the Comrades Arms will be open on Saturday from 6pm – free entry, all are welcome.

Broadwindsor Fun Group’s Party Gets The Go Ahead

Dear Broadwindsor residents,

I write to confirm that the party planned for next Saturday, 18th December to raise funds for the Jubilee Fun Day, IS GOING AHEAD.

When planning the event we had given much thought to any risks regarding Covid and it is due to that consideration, we are able to still to do so. Naturally all Government rules will be followed. The numbers of tickets have been restricted to around 50% of the hall capacity so space should not be an issue. We will have hand sanitizer at the door and ask that everyone uses it please. Similarly we would ask that attendees compete a lateral flow test before arriving. Masks should be worn when moving around and whilst not strictly required whilst dancing, wearing is encouraged.

Thanks to those who are supporting the event, we certainly need something festive in the run up to Christmas!

I hope to see you there, some tickets are still available from the village shop.

Festive Regards,

Adrian
Chair BFG.
