Every month we publish a ‘Round Robin’ newsletter to keep the community up to date with what’s going on in the village. Here is the latest edition:
APRIL 2022 ROUND ROBIN
| CONTENTS: Village Hall Wimborne St Giles Church John Amos – Funeral details In Jolly Good Company St Giles House Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations Cranborne Garden Centre, Gift Shop, Café & Vintage Barn Knowlton Parish Council WIMBORNE ST GILES VILLAGE HALL Coffee Morning Our next coffee will be on Saturday, 2 April. 10.30 – 11.30am. Do come along for a chat over a cup (or cups!) of coffee (real available) or tea, and delicious home-made cake. There will also be a raffle. Bring your friends. These coffee mornings are becoming quite popular so there is always a good atmosphere! Village Social – Saturday, 9 April – 7 – 11pm Our Spring Social is nearly here! Do come along and bring your friends, either before your supper or after – or forget supper altogether and stay all evening! The more the merrier. Teas Tea for Ukraine The full list of charity teas is now on the www.wimbornestgiles.org website under the Village Hall section. As the 14 August slot was still available, I decided to put on a tea to raise funds for Ukraine. This tea will not be run by the Village Hall so I am hoping to encourage people from surrounding villages to help and make cakes. If you have friends who might be interested, please spread the word. The Village Hall teas are as follows: 1st May 26th June 4th September 9th October URGENT! We need 11-12 helpers for each tea and have lost some of our regulars so PLEASE help us if you can. Cakes will also be needed! The more helpers we have, the wider we can spread the load over the four teas. The Committee will do its best, but we desperately need new blood! AGM Our Village Hall AGM will be held on Tuesday, 12 April at 8pm. If you are interested in joining the Committee, please let us know. We are still looking for a new Treasurer as Jenny Hansen has held this post for many years and has been trying to hand it over for some time now! We have four meetings a year, so the job isn’t too arduous. New people have moved into the village since we last advertised this post and circumstances change – retirement?! If you are interested, please contact me and I will put you in touch with Jenny. You may know someone who lives nearby who might be interested. The Village Hall has to have a Treasurer – we can’t run without one! We also need new general members so do come and join us. Do let me know if you would like to book the hall for a tea or any other event. We are keeping our charges for non-tea events the same for the time being – £6 per hour. Don’t forget we have a table tennis table.

IN JOLLY GOOD COMPANY Dear Friends We are all excited about the start of our new group called Jolly Days at the Museum (in Wimborne) another dementia friendly group that is open to everyone. We will be meeting at the Museum of East Dorset (MED) and can’t wait to share this beautiful venue and it’s amazing garden with all of our guests. We will be kicking off with a visit from ‘A Bit of a Tonic’ musical duo on Thursday 7th April from 2 – 4 pm. You are welcome to come along and join us for the special launch of our fifth group in Dorset, please get in touch to book and let me know if you would like to come. Thanks to Dorset Council and The Friends of Canford School who have made this new group possible and also to Wimborne Dementia Friendly Community for their help and enduring support. Massive thanks also to all the amazing people from all walks of life who volunteer with us, we have a team of around 30 people now, which is totally incredible. It is because of their skills, talents and support that we can welcome as many people as we do to all of our different groups. Volunteers are helping with everything from catering to admin and we are so grateful. The volunteers in WSG have started their own project called “Your Story” enabling people to talk about their fascinating lives. So far Edna has told us about her and her husband’s experience of living and working on the Crichel Estate for many years. Hanna has told us what it was like growing up in Germany during the war and how she met and married her English husband. We look forward to the next ‘Your Story’ with Brian Thorne. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Word And Action, who have just donated some money to us to help keep the Jolly Show on the road. Word And Action was a Community Theatre Company based in Dorset from the early 1970’s to the early 2000’s. Set up by a pioneering man called RG Gregory who devised his very own Instant Theatre. I was a part of this company during the 80’s and 90’s and I am so grateful for the valuable skills I learnt which now form the bedrock of In Jolly Good Company. Please get in touch if you would like any more information or to book a place at our launch in Wimborne. Please note the new email address sarah@injollygoodcompany.com 07884 333117 Best wishes to all. Sarah 01725 517005 07884 333117 Sarah Rampton injollygoodcompany@gmail.com St Giles House In some exciting news from the Farm, every year we enter a competition with Robin Appel (who buy our barley from us), to see who can grow the best spring barley crop for malting or brewing. This year we came 1st! The team have won a cup and a bottle of whiskey, which was made from our laureate barley. Around 80 farmers across the country were entered, so this is no mean feat. This award joins a number of accolades for our farming team – well done! This year is set to be a busy one for the Events team – with 49 events booked, of which the majority are weddings! Amongst the ‘non-wedding’ events, we will be hosting the Realisation Festival again in the summer, and a combined running / cycling event in the autumn. Kerri Fionda-Brookes HR & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) THE QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS EVERYONE’S INVITED!!!

Keeping the Memories Some of us will remember previous Jubilees and their events. We have made a start on collating a record of the events held in the village in the Coronation year (1952/53) and the Jubilees in 1972, 2002 and 2012. We will be adding to this material documenting the 2022 event and we should then have a permanent record. So far, we have pictures of the Tree Planting on the Green in 2012 and also of the Jubilee Tea and games in 2002. If anyone has any particular information about the above, especially any photos (which will of course be treated with great care)- could they in the first instance contact Adrian -mradrianjones@btinternet.com CRANBORNE GARDEN CENTRE, GIFT SHOP, CAFE AND VINTAGE BARN Garden Centre and Café open 9.30am – 5pm Monday – Saturday (CLOSED on TUESDAYS), Sunday 10am – 5pm DATE FOR THE DIARY – The Vintage Fair is back!
