This year, we will be meeting on Saturday 11th May at the recently-built Community Hall at Litton Cheney – just off the A35 about 8 miles west of Dorchester. We have chosen this very busy new hall so that we can hear from the Chairman of the committee that planned, built and run it.
NOW POSTPONED TO BE PART OF THE 'HALLS FAIR' IN WIMBORNE ON FRIDAY 4TH OCTOBER
We are still putting the finishing touches to the Agenda for the morning, but hope to clarify our work with DCA, show you round the new website, and have announcements on an exciting event for all our Hall Managements later in the summer.
We will finish with an Open Forum to discuss the best way to supply the services we all need from time-to-time. The more we can share the work around the membership, and publish our results through the website (www.dorsethalls.net), the more effective we will be for everyone.
