We moved to the village the first week of October last year from Poole and while at the time, we did question if we’d made the right choice, those feelings faded quickly. One year on and we feel like we’ve lived here forever! That’s a great testament to the culture in Marnhull. Everyone is so friendly, there are countless social activities and groups like Marnhull Village Care make sure that no-one is excluded. By the time you read this, the 2015 Newcomers Party will have welcomed many more to the village. In-fact, from what I hear - this The WI Celebrate 100 years year’s is the biggest yet...

Marnhull Messenger News & Events October 2015 Charity Dorset Night! Village Hall Matters Further to my last report which concerned a fundraising effort. I am pleased to announce that we have already received a generous donation from a village resident and secured the services of a very able fundraiser. Charity Dorset Night I approached John Dowsett, a relative newcomer to the village and he has agreed to head up our fund raising efforts. He has had several years experience with his previous village hall especially with regard to grants Royal British Legion and fund raising in general. He has given me an initial response which is as follows: Saturday 24th October “As a recent newcomer to the village and user of the village hall. I am delighted to join the fundraising effort towards the extension/ 7 for 7.15pm improvement project. It is really good to see the amount that is already in hand. Local generosity and support are a great help in obtaining grants from outside sources and I look forward very much to assisting in this. Discovering Dorset by Rev. Stewart Timbrell Fresh ideas and news of other village efforts are always very welcome” Call My Bluff - Quiz night I hope and trust that anyone who has anything to offer John in his quest for success will be forthcoming with any relevant information that may Old Marnhull - Ian Kendall help. Finally, I am making another appeal for a new secretary for the Village Marnhull’s own Jethro - Les Elsworth hall committee as our current incumbent has stepped down recently for personal reasons. This is not an onerous task. It entails taking minutes for our committee meetings which are only usually every 2 or 3 months Tickets £3 or two for £5 intervals and sending out invitations to future meetings to all our Village clubs using the hall .I should be pleased to receive any expressions of interest before our AGM planned for 18th November.
