FAMILY and friends gathered at The Snipe, Blacknoll on the 28th of December to celebrate the Golden Wedding anniversary of Pat and Jock Inglis.

Reminiscences were exchanged as old friends chatted, before they all enjoyed a beautiful buffet.

The lovely cake was made and decorated by long-time friend and neighbour, Marjorie Bird.

Instead of presents, Pat and Jock requested donations to the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.

They were able to send a cheque for £175, for which the couple thank everyone for their generosity. They would also like to thank everyone for their cards and flowers.

• A very happy New Year to everyone in Winfrith, Lulworth and Chaldon, and at this time of year it's a busy one with everyone getting ready for pantomimes in Winfrith and Lulworth.

In Winfrith Village Hall, performances of Panto at OK Corral are on Thursday, January 24, Friday 25 and two on Saturday 26.

Tickets are on sale at Winfrith Post Office costing £5 for adults, £2.50 for children with a family ticket costing £12.

• Meanwhile down in Lulworth, rehearsals are going well for Dracula the Pantomime whose performances are on Thursday, February 7, Friday 8 and Saturday 9.

Tickets cost £4.50 for adults, £3.50 for children and a family ticket costs £14.

You can phone Giles on 01929 400259 who will give you a discount if you book more than 10 or visit the Hambury Stores to purchase tickets.

• The Lulworth Players recently held an extraordinary general meeting, where they agreed to donate £700 to Holy Trinity Church to cover the cost of a mower to help maintain the extended graveyard.

Another £20 was donated to repairing a bench in School Lane, previously donated by the Lulworth Players. £500 was donated to the First Responders and financial support for the Junior Drama Group which meets on Saturday mornings continues.

This money is raised through productions and other related activities of the players.

The Lulworth Players primary objective is to provide amateur theatrical entertainment for the village and some of the proceeds are kept to provide equipment and accessories to improve future productions but surplus funds are used for the benefit of the community.

• Bob and Joan Naylor are now settled in their new home in Jersey together with Lucy (the cat) and send everyone their thanks for all the good wishes, cards and gifts which they received on their move.

They have been touched and overwhelmed by good wishes and kindness and thank everyone for their generosity and friendship.

About 20 people from the benefice braved the choppy seas to attend Bob's licensing service and some stayed on for Bob's first service. If you are thinking of a trip to Jersey, Bob says do come and see them!

• The Ladies Friendship Circle enjoyed a special Christmas lunch in December followed by entertainment from the Crossways Bell Ringers.

Their next meeting is on Wednesday, February 31 starting at 2pm so if you are new to the village please come along and meet a pleasant group of ladies who meet once a month in Winfrith Village Hall.

• West Lulworth Over 60s are planning a bingo session on Monday, February 4 starting at 7.30pm in West Lulworth Village Hall.

• Winfrith Newburgh's Parish Plan questionnaires are being distributed at the moment by a group of volunteers.
