Broadwindsor’s Jubilee Beacon – TONIGHT, 2nd June, 9.15pm

Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations for the weekend begin tonight with the lighting of the Beacon.

The photograph shows the ironwork created and donated by village resident & craftsman, Rob Hedditch. This will be attached to the pole of the beacon before it is lit this evening. Thank you to Rob!

Tilly Jardine will be performing on her bugle. Pip Cadwell, caretaker of the beacon since 1997 will light it 🙂

The newly formed Broadwindsor Platinum Jubilee Choir will have their debut performance singing ‘A Life Filled With Grace‘ simultaneously  with choirs around the world at 9.45pm. They will perform it again on Saturday afternoon.

The specially prepared Beacon tarts (learn more HERE) will be available at The White Lion afterwards for a free tasting – it is on a first come, first served basis so be quick!

Note: there are not many Souvenir Programmes left – some in the pub and the last delivery was made to the shop yesterday! The Chairman will have some on sale tonight.

Enjoy your weekend!

T-Shirts For Tommy

Samples of T-shirts with the winning slogan of “Broadwindsor Where Community Matters” will be on sale & orders taken on Saturday, 4th June at the village Fun Day.

Profits will go towards the purchase of a memorial for those lost in conflict, similar to the one shown.  At present no external memorial exists in our village.

The T-shirts, which are of high quality, are £15 each. This generates a profit of £2 per T-shirt to go towards the purchase of a Tommy style memorial and thereby supporting the Royal British Legion. Remember to state your size when ordering!

If you have any questions or orders, please contact Adrian Gray: chagoigray@gmail.com putting T-shirt in the subject title.

‘Belfast’ (12) – Drimpton 8th June, Broadwindsor 17th June

Both Community Film Clubs are showing ‘Belfast’ this month.  It is rated 12 and lasts 94 minutes.

Written and directed by Academy Award winner Kenneth Branagh, starring Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Jude Hill, Dame Judi Dench, Ciaran Hinds & Colin Morgan.

Belfast is a poignant story of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood amid the music and social tumult of the late 1960s. Buddy’s family lives in a largely Protestant district with a few Catholic families, but one day his community and everything he thought he understood about life is suddenly turned upside down.  Buddy’s family gets caught in the mayhem and must decide to stay or leave the only place they have ever called home.  Through it all, his passionate parents (Caitriona Balfe and Jamie Dornan) and quick-witted grandparents (Academy Award winner Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds) keep the joy alive through music and the magic of movies in this feel good story that reminds us that no matter how far you go, you never forget where you came from.

At Drimpton – Wednesday, 8th June:

  • Drimpton Film Club Members – Free entry.
  • Guests – £4
  • Refreshments available: Wine, Beer, Tea & Coffee.

Medication Delivery Unavailable On Tuesdays

Barton House Medical Practice have issued the following message:

Regrettably from 31st May 2022 we are no longer able to offer our free medication delivery service on a Tuesday to Mosterton, Broadwindsor or Marshwood. Currently Friday deliveries will remain the same.
It’s saddens us to have to stop this service but unfortunately it’s out of our control.
We would LOVE to reinstate this service so if you, or you know of anyone who would be keen to volunteer then please contact the surgery.
It would entail a couple of hours on a Tuesday with full milage paid where you would be required to take medication from the surgery to local drop off points to help out our patients who are unable to collect from the surgery/pharmacy.

If you can help – please contact the surgery on 01308 861938.

White Lion Community Pub Update – May 22

A message from Chairman, Rick Dyke:

The White Lion reopened its doors nearly 3 weeks ago and it is difficult to imagine how it could have been more successful without offering food. We have already expressed our appreciation of the contributions from many that enabled us to get to this point but it is also important to acknowledge the support from the community since we reopened.
Not all pubs in the area are able to open 6 days a week and receive enough custom for that to be viable. Our aim is to keep it that way and with this in mind will be arranging regular events in the future which we hope will not only maintain current levels of support but hopefully attract new custom too. Watch this space.

However, it has not all been plain sailing and with the benefit of hindsight, some things would have been done differently. Without wishing to make any excuses and for reasons which need no further explanation, responsibilities on the Management Committee changed dramatically in March and with those changes came some necessary decisions as to where our priorities lay.
Consequently, some aspects were given a lower priority, for example membership certificates. We received over 200 requests for membership which is a testament to the support there is within the community. However, it is also a significant undertaking in both preparing and issuing the certificates. You should have received an update sooner but we can advise that the production of those certificates will be completed within the next few days and then the process of issuing the 200+ individual emails with the certificate as an attachment will start. We expect all certificates to have been issued before the end of the month and will provide an update to that effect.

Another aspect that could have been handled better was the offer of skilled help from various tradespeople within the community. Ultimately, there were more offers of assistance than were needed but this should have been communicated. If you offered your support but did not hear further, hopefully you can accept our sincere apologies.

To finish on a positive note, work is progressing well in getting our kitchen ready. We are not ready to give precise details as there are still some aspects that are out of our control but we hope that we will be ready to add to the Fun Group‘s food offering over the Jubilee weekend. An announcement will follow once details have been finalised. You may also be pleased to know that in addition to our food service, coffee will be available too!
