25 September 2024 - Forthcoming events and Air Ambulance
Just a little reminder of what we have in store for you:
- Saturday 28th September at 6.45pm - Murder Mystery Dinner (sold out!)
- Friday 4th October at 10.30am - Coffee Morning with raffle
Both of these events are in aid or the local Air Ambulance service
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance needs a second helicopter to move to 24-hour operations.
It currently does not fly between 02:00 and 07:00 BST, as its sole helicopter receives maintenance during that time.
The charity's helicopter flew 2,909 missions across the two counties last year
The charity has paid a deposit with helicopter manufacturer Leonardo to build a second aircraft, which will be ready and kitted out in about two years.
But it still needs to raise a "few million pounds" to pay for it. Read more here.
You can help at our October Coffee Morning!
Other events:
- Saturday 12th October at 9.30 - Pond Cleanup
Friday 1st November at 10.30am - Coffee Morning as usual
- Saturday 16th November - Village Quiz (details to follow)
