Sam Starts Charity Cycle This Monday, 17th July

Sam Cochrane sets out from Oslo, Norway Monday morning to start peddling on his journey of an estimated distance of 2,200 kilometres… Destination Poole, Dorset, U.K.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Sam is unlikely to make it to Broadwindsor after his event but did send this message into the Editor earlier in the week:

With the start date closing in quickly for my cycle, I just wanted to reach out to yourself and the those in Broadwindsor and Beaminster who donated and say thank you for the donations.
I know the charity is very happy with the overwhelming support I have received in undertaking this fantastic opportunity for them. I also want to say a massive thank you to you also for publishing it on the local webpage, without gaining the reach I have so far with this, it would not have been as rewarding for the charity and a thank you goes to the White Lion and The Knapp Inn as well for placing my poster in their pubs for all to see.
Kind regards,
Sam Cochrane.

If you’d like to keep up with Sam and how he progresses, then follow his blog – visit https://oslotopoole.weebly.com

If you haven’t donated yet and would like to – you can scan the QR code on the poster above or click HERE to visit Sam’s Just Giving page and make your donation to support the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance,. Thank you!

We wish you safe travels and good luck with your journey Sam! 🙂

The Comrades Arms – Open Friday 1st October

Village residents Andrew & Margery Hookings are expected back from France mid-month. Already getting things in place, Andrew Hookings will be re-opening the Comrades Arms in the Lewesdon Room, upstairs at the Comrades Hall on Friday, 1st October at 6pm.

Andrew, who was landlord of the Half Moon in Melplash from ’97-2000, will be offering local ales and ciders on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6pm and on Sunday afternoons from midday. He hopes to include Tuesday evenings to go alongside Nat’s Fish & Chip van. His other ideas include:

running Quiz nights on Tuesdays,
running a pool competition on Sundays,
organise some food evenings a couple of times a month with local ‘chefs’ producing some simple meals.

Andrew, who is Chairman of the Broadwindsor Community Stores Committee, a member of the Comrades Hall committee, a member of the Broadwindsor Fun Group and more recently, a member of the Steering group negotiating with Palmers re: the future of the White Lion stated that all profits will go the Save The White Lion fund. Previously, the Comrades Arms was open for 4 weeks prior to Rich and Kate taking on the White Lion and almost £2k was raised for the Comrades Hall.

Margery is running an Art Exhibition and Sale at Comrades Hall on Saturday, 16th October – Read more HERE.
