Society rounds off a successful year

11:20pm Tuesday 6th October 2009

The Osmington Society has held two very successful and enjoyable events so far this year. In May a wine tasting evening was led by Jacques de Cateret who has worked in the industry for more years than he cares to remember (or, indeed, can). He presented six wines, ranging from less to more expensive, and guests were able to make their own notes on them. This was followed by a cold buffet of cheeses and pâtés, with an opportunity to buy more of the wine. Fortunately, everyone was local and was able to stagger home safely.

Plan questionnaire is on the way

12:24pm Tuesday 1st September 2009

The Osmington Community Plan is being developed to improve the quality of life for our community, and of the environment in which we live. We now need to identify those areas in our lives where improvements are needed so that steps can be set in train to prepare as best we can for an uncertain future. To that end, questionnaires have been developed (one for adults, one for youngsters) which will be distributed very shortly throughout Osmington, the Mills, Ringstead and Upton. Following analysis of the results and further discussions the community will then be consulted with a view to the adoption of a draft Action Plan.
