Final Day Of FareShare, Drimpton

Today marked the final day of the Fareshare Food Larder at Drimpton 🙁

Parish Councillor, Yvonne White, who has led the project since its’ launch in June 2023 released this statement earlier today…

“A massive thank you to the brilliant volunteers who’ve supported this project and helped it grow over the last 2 years to provide affordable food to people across the Broadwindsor Group Parish.

Your time and effort have meant so much.

It hasn’t just been about the food, it’s the friendly face, new friends, support through tough times and access to other services.

I’m sure many will miss our Friday mornings, me included.

Thank you to Drimpton Village Hall Committee for the use of the Hall facilities to support the larder.

Last, but not least to the Fareshare volunteer drivers who brought us the food with a smile on their faces after the long drive from the warehouse 🙂

Beaminster Food Larder will be relaunching in September and continue to provide affordable food to people in the area.

Kind regards

Yvonne.”

Broadwindsor.Org will publish when details are released as to how to re-register for the relaunch of FareShare in September.

Enjoy your summer!

Broadwindsor Community Film Club In Need Of New Organisers

An announcement from our volunteers at Broadwindsor’s Commuity Film Club…

We have been lucky as a village to have a monthly Film Club at the Comrades Hall for some years now. There is a small team of volunteers who work behind the scenes so that we can deliver a film each month for everyone to enjoy. However, after some consideration, both Emma Myers and myself have decided that after nearly 5 years of being involved in Film Club, it is time for us to step down, have a rest and give new volunteers the chance to keep this valued group going forward.
The new subscription year is due in November 2024, so the October film will be both mine and Emma’s last for the Film Club.

All of us in the film club team bring different skills to the table, whether it be technical support, organising admin, or running the bar and helping out on the night. If anyone would like to be involved and join our film club team, please feel free to contact either Emma (broadwindsorem@gmail.com) or Margaret (07796 454203) to see where your skills could be put to good use.

Lastly, I would like to express my personal thanks to all those in our film club team who have faithfully helped out over the years. Let’s now look forward to the continuation of film club for everyone’s enjoyment.

– Margaret Wing

Our sincere thanks to Emma & Margaret!
