• SINCE its inaugural meeting in April 2008, the Tolpuddle art group has met at monthly intervals on Friday mornings from 10am until noon to develop members' interests in drawing and painting - principally watercolour so far.

Under the general guidance of John Grant, the group has enthusiastically explored materials and techniques in composing landscape and still life pictures including colour mixing and perspective problems.

The group is now approaching the hall's capacity to accommodate a maximum of two dozen members, but prospective new members are welcome at any time, providing they may have to join a waiting list!

Active members pay £10 for any three meetings they attend.

• There is a last chance to book a place for the craft workshop to make Christmas presents in the village hall on Saturday, October 18 from 1pm until 4pm.

You will make a bowl from silk fibres, two candles and some handmade soap.

All materials will be provided together with refreshments, and the cost is £25.

There will be a small charge for the hall, but this depends on numbers, and is not likely to be more than £2.

Space is limited, so early booking is advised. Payment must be made in advance.

Telephone Clare Dean on 01305 849569 for details.

• HARVEST supper will be held in the village hall on Friday, October 10 at 7.30pm.

The village hall committee invites you to come along and enjoy a delicious hot main course and desserts, cheese, tea or coffee.

This is always a popular evening. Tickets are still only £5.
