logo11 January 2024 - February Coffee Morning

As previously mentioned, there will be a special coffee morning on February 2nd in aid of Motor Neurone Disease.  You'll recall that most famously Prof Steven Hawking, and more recently the Rugby League player Rob Burrow, suffered from this condition - and we have a couple of people in the village affected.  Margaret Sykes, a much-loved and long-time member of our community sadly just died of this condition, and we hope some of her family will be at the coffee morning.  There'll also be a representative from the West Dorset MND support group attending, and there will be a Raffle to up the funds even more.  Please do make an effort to support this worthwhile event - and because so many of you will be coming we will exceptionally start early at 10.00am.

A repeat of last year's much enjoyed event. A Beetle Drive evening, with Ploughman's Supper - bring your own drink.
At the Mission Hall, 7.30 on Friday 2nd February.
Tickets £8, from Maureen Morris (835533).  If you have any dietary requirement please mention it when you book.
With raffle. Proceeds to Mission Hall Trust.

Future events at the Mission Hall
We have a Music Evening with Ken Watkins on Friday 8th March. We are also intending to arrange a village Barbecue probably on Sunday 30th June. Then in the Autumn (date not yet decided) we are hoping to hold a Theme Night Supper - those of you who have been in the village longest will remember events, mainly organised by a group who called themselves "The Gnomes", including "Mrs Bucket's Candle-lit Italian Supper", the Medieval Dinner, the "We'll eat again" wartime supper and the School Dinner under the gentle charge of Headmaster Mr John "Whackem" Allen. Events that will be hard to match, but we will do our best.
Watch out for further information.

logo31 December 2023 - Coffee Mornings

I've been sending too many reminders recently - which I'm sure you don't need because your memories are tack-sharp and your diaries and calendars are fully up-to-date.  So I don't need to tell you that the Mission Hall will be open as always at 10.30 on January 5th 2024 for coffee, chat and a catch-up with all your friends and neighbours about what a lovely Christmas you had.
 
However - I do need to tell you now to pencil-in the following Coffee Morning on the 2nd February.  This will be a special charity event in aid of Motor Neurone Disease.  
 
J & S, wishing you a Happy New Year!
