SUMMARY:An evening with Benedict Allen
DESCRIPTION:BENEDICT ALLEN – Explorer: The Quest for Adventure and the Great Unknown\nThursday 21st April\, 7pm\, Digby Memorial Church Hall\, Digby Road\, Sherborne. \nPart meditation\, part memoir\, this is an enquiry into the mind of an explorer and what it means to explore in the twenty-first century. Explorer is the story of what led Benedict Allen to travel to the farthest reaches of our planet – at a time when there were still valleys and ranges known only to the remote communities who inhabited them. It is also the story of why\, thirty years later\, he is still exploring.

SUMMARY:Gary's Gift Spring Ball
DESCRIPTION:On Friday 8th April we will be holding the inaugural Gary’s Gift Spring Ball at the Memorial Hall in Wincanton. The Ball is to raise funds for our friend and colleague\, Gary White who was diagnosed with the devastating condition\, Motor Neurone Disease in July 2021. \nGary’s Gift was formed with a single goal in mind – To raise as much as we possibly can to support our friends\, Gary\, and his partner Sarah as their battle with Motor Neurone Disease develops. \nMND is life-shortening and there is no cure. Although the disease will progress\, symptoms can be managed to help achieve the best possible quality of life. \nGary is loyal\, driven\, loving and has a huge heart. He is always the first to be there and support you before you even ask. With the support of his employer\, Gary continued to work up until November last year\, which has helped to keep his morale up. He has now taken up baking to keep him busy\, for those of us that know Gary it came as a bit a shock as he was never known for his culinary prowess….. \nAlthough Gary is now unable to talk it’s still the same Gary\, still smiling and laughing and still doing all he can to help those around him. \nBut the truth is it’s our turn to be there for Gary and his family. \nThe aim of the Ball is to raise as much as we possibly can to help Gary to buy much needed equipment\, as his needs will dictate\, but more importantly to help Gary to create some amazing memories with his family as they embark on the incomprehensibly difficult time ahead of them. Our aim is to raise well over £10\,000 and we are on track to do so. \nWe also want to raise awareness of just how devastating MND is. \nThe Ball will include\, live music\, a Hog Roast\, a live auction and raffle with some incredible prizes – everything has been donated by amazing local and national businesses. \nOur Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GarysGift.co.uk and website can be found on the links below. \nWe do still have a limited number of Tickets available – They are available by using the contact us function on our website or by emailing info@garysgift.co.uk

SUMMARY:Spring Concert - DCO
DESCRIPTION:Dorset County Orchestra are delighted to announce their Spring concert\, this year taking place in Grandsen Hall\, Sherborne (Girl’s School) on Saturday 26 March 2022.\nTheir programme is a delight for lovers of classical music everywhere from Mozart – the Overture to the Marriage of Figaro\, followed by Dvorak – Cello Concerto\, played by the gifted soloist Arturo Serna (who just happens to also be our resident conductor) and finishing with the flourish of Schumann – Symphony no. 3 (The Rhenish). \nDorset County Orchestra has long been active on the local orchestral scene\, and usually perform three concerts\, in varying venues across the county\, but like many musical organisations during the past two years\, they have had to cancel or scale down their performances.\nThey are delighted to be bringing this programme to Sherborne\, home to both our resident and guest conductors\, John Jenkins. \nVenezuelan born British conductor Arturo Serna has a dynamic career as a conductor/cellist and teacher. His musical journey began as a second generation graduate of El Sistema in Venezuela and was influenced by his mother\, a violinist with the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra. After leaving Venezuela\, he studied in France\, Switzerland and England and holds a Masters in conducting.\nArturo currently conducts the Dorset County Orchestra\, Exeter Symphony Orchestra\, Axe Vale Orchestra and Shaftesbury Symphony Orchestra. He has guest conducted for numerous events locally\, including Hazelmere Music Society\, Sherbourne Community Orchestra\, Yeovil Community Orchestra\, Bruton Choral Society and Wincanton Youth Theatre. Arturo teaches at Sherborne Girls\, King’s Bruton\, Hazel Grove and Lewiston schools.

SUMMARY:Shaftesbury Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:The theme ‘Reading the Land’ is an invitation to share in the passion\, experience and insight of our authors as we explore the best of nature writing.\nWith much of the last 18 months spent adjusting to new limitations\, many of us have explored the lanes and paths closer to home in a bid to find new ways to stretch our minds (and legs!). For some\, it has been a chance to reconnect with nature\, while for others it has proven an opportunity to examine more closely the natural world around us.
