FILM CLUB – "ONE LIFE"

ONE LIFE telling the true story of Nicholas “Nicky” Winton who as a young London broker in the months leading up to WW2 visited Prague and found Jewish families who had escaped from Germany and Austria living in desperate conditions and realised that this was a race against time to get the children out.
He brought 669 children to safety in England.
For five decades he blamed himself for not rescuing more children and it was only when the BBC “That’s Life” programme came out in 1988 and he met so many of his rescued children…now adults….that he came to terms with his grief and guilt.
With Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham-Carter.
Doors open 7pm for 7:30pm start
Bar, teas, coffees available. Members free, Guests £4.
No need to book, but for further information contact Diana on 01308 867172

Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge 2024

FUND RAISING for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance
Stuart Pearce and Paul Clements, both residents of Drimpton and members of Drimpton Cycling Club, are to cycle the local Coast to Coast Ride on MAY 11th to raise funds for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. The 55 mile route from Watchet to West Bay passes through Drimpton and Broadwindsor as it does annually, so a rest stop at the Royal Oak for local support will be in evidence!

Many in the village will know that Stuart used the service following a cardiac arrest five years ago and is now looking to repay his ‘taxi fare’…it costs on average £3,500 for each deployment, so the boys are seeking to reach that figure as a target, both to repay Stuart’s debt and to cover the cost of a trip for somebody else.

VILLAGE DRAMA – DRAMA IN THE VILLAGE

VILLAGE DRAMA – DRAMA IN THE VILLAGE – message from Denise and Joe Cottriall
‘After consultation and lots of encouragement from Francesca, Nick and Andrew we would like to put on a play in the Village Hall. The plan is to meet on Tuesday 14th May at 7.30 in the Hall to gauge interest and discuss how we pull it all together.
We have a one act play we would like to perform, it is light hearted and fun, with a cast of 5 adults and backstage support.
If there is interest, we would then look at setting up a Drama Group open to all with a view of staging a pantomime in the new year.
It would be great to see you there.’
