Village Hall News The Village Hall New Years Eve Party was a great success, lovely food, lots of dancing and children enjoying a fun evening. It dovetailed really well with the Royal Oak, when a large group from the Pub and the Hall gathered for our traditional rendition of Old Lang Syne in the square followed by a packed pub. Seems like a good formula, do you agree? (Village Hall Feedback Book) Family
Coffee Morning/Open House Our next coffee morning is on Saturday 18th February when, in addition to our usual activities, we will be having some fun making and tossing pancakes. Film Night planned for 3rd March has been rescheduled for Sat 24th March for technical reasons. The Village Hall AGM will be in March. A new committee will be elected at that meeting. If you are interested in serving on the committee please contact Mike Saunders 868325. The Phase 1 Refurbishment Fund was awarded £2,000 from the FMR Trust in January which means we are over half way to achieving our goal. Rosemary Shepherd will be chairing a Sub Committee to consider Phase 2 Refurbishment, the kitchen improvements.

Parish Council News At the last PC committee meeting your Parish Councillors presented a case to provide financial support, during these financially difficult times, for our Village Halls (Blackdown, Comrades and Drimpton) in order that they can continue to provide community support and affordable entertainment. I am pleased to announce that the PC agreed to contribute £1000 annually, from precept money, to each Village Hall to help with increasing running costs. Separately they supported our plans to improve our Hall and offered to pay 5% of the cost.

Who
Were We?
Connecting the lives of a 19th century Dorset community by Andrew Pastor Our new book, Who Were We?, has been researched and written by members of the 21st century community of Drimpton. It sets out to give our 19th century neighbours a chance to speak to us today, to step out of the shadows and tell us something about themselves one more time. Over 500 families are recorded in our book which blends fact and imagination recreating a community where everyone mattered. Who Were We? is now available, for more information please click here (opens in a new window)
