Exercise on village green

Broadwindsor’s revamped village green has been enhanced by three new pieces of adult exercise equipment.

The air skier, double air walker and rider have been installed at Bernards’ Place, in the heart of the village.

They complement challenging new play equipment and an oak- framed shelter which was put in last year by the Comrades Hall Committee after a major fundraising campaign to transform the village green.

Two pieces of equipment were funded by Magna Housing Association and Bridport Round Table. Ross Heaver, from Bridport Round Table, was brought up in the village.

His father Malcolm led a team of volunteers who put together the shelter on the green. Ross said: “Having grown up in the village it’s amazing to see such a high level of support from the local community, businesses and charities alike. Bernards’ Place is such an amazing spot for all to enjoy.”

A spokesperson for the group said: “We were recently celebrating some of our local evening section, The Hardy Perennials, renewing their guide promise as members of Trefoil. Our county president Shirley Williams and county chair Sarah Murray joined us for the event and Shirley presented our red Trefoil Promise badges to Linda Scott, our former division commissioner and leader of the 1st Dorchester Guides.”
