- Classic Car Show a great success.
Thank you to all ‘classic car owners’ for making yesterday’s Classic Car Show such a success with everyone it seems having a great time. Thank you to all the guys that helped set up the marquees, tables, etc., and taking them all down again..it was a long day but so worthwhile. We were so so lucky with the glorious weather especially after the continuous rain and wind of today! Thank you to everyone that came along, enjoyed the refreshments, entered the Raffle and made it such a wonderful Community event. We raised a little over £1,000 from the profits of refreshments, BBq, Raffle and donations. This amount will set us on our way to buy the second Ground Trampoline. The first Ground Trampoline has already been paid for from monies raised over the last two years at Fetes, Classic Car Show, Cream Teas etc., and should have already been placed in the Play Area. However, due to dreadful weather over the last months this has not been possible yet as mini-diggers etc., are required for the installation. Please come along and support us at our next Fundraiser – Cream Tea at Chideock House Gardens on Saturday 15th June. Not forgetting the Fete on Saturday 17th August. Thank you all again from Anna, Ros and Lyn – The Friends of Clapps Mead Committee.

Jo Sadler
Hosted by The Clapps Mead Fundraising Committee
Taught by local willow artist Jo Sadler, this fun and creative course will
guide you through the process of how to sculpt a deer out of willow.
Using locally sourced willow from Somerset, you will learn the
fundamentals of willow weaving, taking home your own beautifully
handcrafted 4ft willow deer at the end of the day. This course is suitable
for beginners and all materials are provided, but we recommend wearing
old and comfortable clothing as this course is very hands-on.

CHIDEOCK HALL FILM NIGHT
Tuesday 21st May – 7.00pm for 7.30pm
What’s Love got to do with it?
Boy, here, does not meet girl – he’s known her since they were kids, their families living next door to one another. Zoe (Lily James) now makes documentaries and Kaz (Shazad Latif) is a doctor; they are best friends, having long been part of the fabric of one another’s lives. Kaz has decided that he wants to have an arranged marriage, meaning boy will actually meet girl once she’s also met his Pakistani parents. Zoe, searching for her next project, convinces Kaz to let her film his journey, and explore how arranged marriages have evolved.
The tone is distinctly feelgood, but the film, directed by Shekhar Kapur, thoughtfully explores the different ways that relationships can be built, and what cultures can teach one another.
£5.00 Entry – cash or card payments accepted which includes free Tea/Coffee & Popcorn
Wine by glass or bottle, beer, cider & choc ices on sale during interval.
