During the summer holidays Piddle Valley CE First School has been working hard on improvements to the outdoor environment. This includes renewing the raised beds in the gardening area and creating a new pond area. There is still lots of planting to do but the staff and children are all excited about encouraging the wildlife to the area.

The new raised beds have already been put to good use by the Gardening Club, an after school club who meet weekly.
So far they have hosted three ‘Piddle Produce’ markets which have been extremely popular, selling school-grown produce including carrots, lettuce, beetroot, tomatoes, apples and herbs.

To date the children of the Gardening Club have raised £60, which they will use to buy further seeds and plants for the garden. The parents and families have been very supportive of the Piddle Produce markets which has been very much appreciated

In the second of October’s episodes, we have A Country Living, Meet your Local, the politics section (which is still interesting, though it feels a little dated now. It’s been a wild couple of weeks!), and local history with Roger Guttridge:

Mike Howe’s ‘office’ this week is a stunning 16th century cottage in the heart of the beautiful village of Abbotsbury. Far from drawing life’s short straw, Master Thatcher Mike switched career and now teaches future generations an ancient skill
A vintage van was the unlikely solution for cheesemonger Carolyn Hopkins – now she’s an unmissable local sight. The tiny, bright blue 1969 Citroen HY vintage truck is packed with a selection of delicious cheeses as it travels to markets around the Blackmore Vale.
Local politics with thoughts from Simon Hoare MP for North Dorset, plus representatives of the local Labour, LibDem and green parties.
In local history this month, Roger Guttridge looks back at an almost-unchanged Green Man pub at King’s Stag.

he Dorchester Market Car Boot Fund is now open for applications from community and voluntary organisations working in and around Dorchester.

The fund comes from weekly car boot sales held in Dorchester and will be distributed to local community and voluntary organisations to benefit projects operating within or supporting residents living in the area. In 2020, over £13,000 was awarded to local community and voluntary organisations in Dorchester.
Among the organisations who received funding in 2020 were Bradford Peverell Village Hall who received £1,000 towards the replacement of their roof and Homestart West Dorset who received £1,500 towards their running costs.
Cllr Molly Rennie, Chair of the Dorchester Market Car Boot Grant Panel said: ‘It was wonderful to award over £13,000 to local organisations. We recognise the hard work that they do to make lives better for others.’
The 2022/23 car boot fund is open until midnight Saturday 12th November 2022.
Decisions will be made at the end of November, and groups will be notified before the Christmas break.
Successful applicants will be invited to a celebration event next year to share news about their projects.
An application form and additional guidance can be found on the Dorset Council website
