Flag raising 

14th February

Our annual flag raising, celebrating the birthday of Lewis Tregonwel, took place in the rain today at 10.00.

The Deputy Mayor ably stood in for the Mayor today.

The flag raising was followed by a brief service at the graveside of Lewis Tregonwell in St Peter's church, conducted by Rev. Steve Parselle. This was followed by coffee and cake in the church.

The Deputy Mayor Cllr George Farqhuar said a few words.

Bear Cross Lunch

13th March

It was interesting to see how somewhere we had been going to for some years had fared under new ownership. We need not have worried as standards seemed to be much the same.

15 of our members enjoyed the hospitality.

Pasty Supper Evening

18th April

We returned to our 'home' at Bearwood for a pasty evening which was enjoyed by 14 of our members. Unfortunately there was sickness about and 3 were unable to come.

It was 'eyes down' for a Dorset wordsearch. The evening ended with our usual Barnecutt pasty (sent up from Cornwall) lovely deserts provided by our members. A raffle and a pleasant natter completed the evening.
