Full Moon – Sunday, 19th December

The cold weather is upon us and appropriately, December’s Full Moon is most commonly known as the ‘Cold Moon’. The Moon will be full at 04.35am on Sunday, 19th December.

Other names that indicate the cold and snow given to this Full Moon are:

Drift Clearing Moon (Cree),
Frost Exploding Trees Moon (Cree),
Moon of the Popping Trees (Oglala),
Hoar Frost Moon (Cree),
Snow Moon (Haida, Cherokee),
Winter Maker Moon (Western Abenaki)
Moon When the Deer Shed Their Antlers (Dakota)
Little Spirit Moon (Anishinaabe).

This Full Moon has also been called the Long Night Moon (Mohican), as it rises during the “longest” nights of the year, which are near the December winter solstice.

In Europe, ancient pagans called the December Full Moon the “Moon Before Yule,” in honour of the Yuletide festival celebrating the return of the sun heralded by winter solstice.

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.

Shop Manager Kevin Wins The White Lion Cake

Kevin Madder-Smith, manager at Broadwindsor Community Stores won this glorious cake at this morning’s Three Churches Christmas Coffee Morning.

The cake was a portrayal of The White Lion Pub and was baked by Kate Staff. It raised £118 for the Save the White Lion fund.

Kate’s last cake raffled on Broadwindsor’s Fun Day raised a similar amount for a charity close to her home and heart, the Turner Syndrome Support Society. Read more HERE.

The morning was a successful one with good attendance and tasty, warm mince pies. The Three Churches raised a significant amount in their raffle too 🙂

Congratulations Kevin!
