PS George has asked me to mention that we have two vacancies for Governors at Symondsbury C of E Primary School. The school has been rated both Good and Outstanding at their recent Ofsted inspection and is full to capacity, but is reliant on a Governing Body who are prepared to give time to ensure those standards are maintained and improved. This is such an opportunity to make a difference to the lives of youngsters in the area. Please let George know if you are at all interested. |

This has been resurrected after many years' absence and promises to be an afternoon of competition and fun.
We hope to see everyone in the village entering something and coming to enjoy the cakes,
music and stalls as well as the competition entries....
We aim to get an entry form to every home in the village,
but do contact me if you would like to enter and don't have a form.
This is a great opportunity for those who don't usually enter horticultural shows -
not that I am implying that the standard will be low, as that will definitely NOT be the case! |

Good morning everyone
Sadly our big event in the village this month has had to be cancelled. We were hoping to hold an evening displaying local talent, which we are sure is there somewhere, but not very forthcoming!
Thursday 11th April - Symondsbury School at 7.00 p.m. Symondsbury Parish Council meeting - the last meeting of the Parish Council within its original boundaries. From May, the Council will bid farewell to Pine Close and Magdalen Lane, and West Cliff, West Bay - and welcome parts of West Mead, North Allington, Dottery and Edwards Close. This will be quite an historic occasion. You still have a couple of days to stand for the new parish council, if you are interested. Please go on to our website for any information. www.symondsbury-pc.gov.uk
Sunday 14th April - St. John the Baptist, Symondsbury at 9.30 a.m. Celtic Worship - a quiet service in our historic church. We will be launching our plans for renovating the church and creating space for the community soon.
Sunday 21st April - St. Paul's Broadoak at 6.30 p.m. Traditional Holy Communion.
Sunday 28th April - Coppet Hill Walk with ace storyteller, Martin Maudsley. We will be walking around the woods above Denhay Farm, hopefully full of bluebells at that time. Final details will be out shortly, but hope you can join us for enthusiastic entertainment, exercise and eating opportunities!
A quick word to congratulate Matt Kingston aka Matthew Coleridge, for leaping 39 places in 2023 in the ClassicFM 300 Hall of Fame to No. 47 yesterday. This programme involved over 200,000 people so many thanks to those who took the time to vote for his Requiem. He has lots of other music too!
Farmer George's soggy diary attached.
All the best
Amanda

The council will be looking for new councillors from all over the parish, which includes Broadoak.

Sunday 17th March - Broadoak Hall 9.30 a.m. - 12.00 p.m. Broadoak Village Breakfast, with Irish potato cakes for St. Patrick's Day. £7.50 and £5.00 for children. Please let me or pippa@coppethill.co.uk know if you'd like to come.
Sunday 24th March - St Michael the Archangel, Lyme Regis 4.00 p.m. Broadoak Choir joining with Lyme Bay Chorale to perform a concert of Easter themed music.
