Walking group
A new wellbeing group for men has been launched by The Burrough Harmony Centre. At 2pm every Tuesday a Men’s Walking Group meets at the shelter on St Mary’s Playing field, just over the river from Bridport’s Bowling Club. Bridport Mayor Cllr Ian Bark donned his walking boots and joined the first walk, a stroll across the fields to West Bay and back.
The weekly walks are run by Harmony facilitator Rob who encourages all men, their partners, supporters and dogs to join in too. Call him on 07597 379290 for more information.
Pub of the year
The White Lion has been crowned West Dorset CAMRA Pub of the Year at Dorchester Beerex. Camra described the pub, which was reopened following a huge campaign by the community as: “A thriving example of a community-run pub.”
Solar panel consortium
Transition Town Bridport (TTB), along with Dorset Greener Homes, have negotiated a discount price for solar panels, based on 20-30 homes around Bridport installing PVs. Anyone interested is invited to a meeting at Bridport WI hall at 6.30pm on February 23.
Sam Wilberforce of TTB said: “We have chosen an installer who has an established reputation for reliability and after-sales service, and good quality panels which should last 2025 years. These are not the cheapest but cutting costs for inferior materials can be a false economy.” community orchard to ensure a good crop of apples later in the year Pictures: TIM RUSS
