A Summer Lunch
Light Lunch Ladies
We provide monthly Light Lunches at the Village Hall with a range of homemade soups on offer and everyone in the village is invited to come on the second Wednesday of the month at 12.30pm. During Advent and Lent we work with the two village churches to provide lunches. We also provide two grand annual Lunches – one in the summer and the other in the run-up to Christmas. These are always sell-out occasions. All profits are donated to a range of nominated charities.
The Annual Summer Lunch always has a theme and everyone is
invited to join in.
In 2012 the Jubilee was, naturally,
celebrated in fine style with flags, bunting and 'coronation' fare!

The Garden Club
Welcome to the Drimpton & District Gardening Club, which draws its membership from Drimpton and the villages around, meeting monthly in Drimpton Village Hall.
There are about 50 members, with all sorts of garden-related
interests, from flowers to fruit and potatoes to preserves. There is a
meeting on the third Wednesday evening every month; often with a guest
speaker, here’s a flavour of some of the topics:
No Dig Gardening; Making a Pond; Wildlife Garden; Container Planting;
Cottage Gardens; Bees; Gardens and their role in Hospice care; Global
Plant Trekking and the very popular Quiz and Puds.
We also arrange a Potato Day each February, as well as the occasional outing and each August we host the Flower Show.
We are a small friendly club, visitors and new members are welcome to any of the meetings.
FLOWER SHOW SPONSORSHIP
Each year we have asked our friends and members for their support in Sponsoring the prize money at the FLOWER SHOW. In the past your generosity has helped us to avoid a loss on the show.
Will you support us again this year ?
We suggest £1.50 per class (of your choice), and of course – as many classes as you like !!
All sponsors are acknowledged at the class of their choice.
