The Outfit (15) – Friday, 26th August, 7.30pm

Broadwindsor Community Film Club presents ‘The Outfit’ (15) – 106 mins.

Directed by Graham Moore and starring Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, Dylan O’Brien, Johnny Flynn and Simon Russell Beale.

Leonard (Mark Rylance), a master English tailor who’s ended up in Chicago, operates a corner tailor shop with his assistant (Zoey Deutch) where he makes beautiful clothes for the only people around who can afford them: a family of vicious gangsters. One night, two killers (Dylan O’Brien, Johnny Flynn) knock on his door in need of a favour – and Leonard is thrust onto the board in a deadly game of deception and murder.

Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
Film Club members – Free entry
Guests – £4
Refreshments available, including a bar.

Neighbourhood Policing – Tuesday, 9th August

Social media increasingly reports on antisocial behaviour and rural crime. What can we do?

1. Don’t ignore it, it won’t go away.
2. Make an immediate note of what you have seen, especially anything which could make people or vehicles identifiable. Most people have cameras in their pockets now, take photos if you’re safe to do so.
3. If there is a crime in progress, contact the police immediately.
4. Make Dorset Police aware of concerns and issues. An ideal opportunity is at the Neighbourhood Policing Team sessions. Turn up, tell them, ask what they can do.
5. The next session covering our area is at Broadwindsor Comrades Hall: Tuesday, 9th August 2022 at 11:00 am – 11:30 am.

What do you think their priorities should be? Complete their survey HERE.

The NHS recommends keeping all babies under six months out of direct sunlight, and older infants should be kept out of the sun as much as possible, particularly between 11:00hrs and 15:00hrs.
They should be kept in the shade or under a sunshade if they’re in a buggy or pushchair.

First Images From James Webb Telescope

Expected today are the first live pictures from the $10 billion James Webb telescope which was launched on Christmas Day 2021.

The photograph is the first publicly released science-quality image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, revealed on 11th July, 2022, is the deepest infrared view of the universe to date. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI).

When compared side-by-side to the same area that was imaged by Hubble – people are astounded just how much more detail Webb’s camera is capable of capturing.

Due at 15.30hrs GMT – you can follow NASA‘s live stream HERE.
Alternatively, you can watch it on YouTube HERE.

Editor’s Facebook Hacked

On July 6^th, the Editor’s personal Facebook page was hacked. The incident has been reported to the police due to the seriousness of the event. Consequently, nothing can be published to Broadwindsor’s Facebook page and, at the time of publishing, it is not known at this time whether the matter can be resolved nor how long this will take. I can only apologise for the inconvenience this may cause some people.
