       Volunteer work party for the play park
       We will be holding a volunteer work party in the play park in the coming months in
       order  to  try  and  get  some  of  the  more  niggling,  time  consuming  repairs  and
       improvements carried out. If you wish to be involved with this, and hopefully further
       improvement  work  around  the  village,  please  contact  Robin  Pitcher  at
       robinpitcher@btinternet.com.

       Open Spaces
       The wildlife group organised a 'bioblitz' - that is a recording event with experts, to
       identify some of the wildlife that we have on our nature reserve and the edge of
       Mays Wood around the school.

       The records are not completely listed yet but our counts so far are  - 14 varieties of
       butterflies, 20 other types of insects, and 80 plants. These records are being sent to
       the  Dorset  Environmental  Record  Centre  and  we  will  put  them  on  the  Parish
       Council  website.    Thanks  to  the  experts  for  taking  the  time  to  come  along  and
       help.

       Drax Hall

       We  were  delighted  that,  at  their  recent  village  meeting,  residents  voted
       unanimously  for  all  proceeds  from  any  future  sale  of  the  Drax  Hall  being  used
       towards the building of a new Community Hall. We would like to express our thanks
       to Alison Bennett for chairing a  complex meeting.
