Malcolm was presented with his award by BBC South Today's Sports presenter, Roger Johnson. From humble beginnings Milborne Sports Club is now recognised as one of the leading clubs in the region. The facility is renowned for being one of the best in Dorset not only for the hospitality that it extends but for the playing conditions that it provides. The surface of the pitch is one of the best in Dorset and such facilities enable scores of people to enjoy grass roots sport. Sports Club Committee spokesman, John Kane, writes: “It requires many spokes to strengthen a wheel but right at the hub of the wheel is our groundsman, Malcolm Applin, who at the age of 76 has been involved with football in Milborne for over thirty years, the last ten as a member of the Sports Club Committee. Malcolm sets a high standard in preparing his pitch and does all the jobs that an unsung hero is made of. We turn up for games, the boilers are on, the changing rooms are clean, the pitch is marked out, the grass is cut, the machinery for cutting the grass is maintained and all these jobs are done quietly by Malcolm.” Change of name for My Mate John Horticultural Society 1930–2009 THE AGM of the Society was held on Thursday 26th November A tribute by Keith Hustings where a vote was taken to change the name to the Milborne St.

  • Newsletter 74, November 2011
    oooooo 2012 oooooooo TWO MEETINGS oooooo A Discussion Meeting has been arranged at Ely for Saturday 31 st March 2012. Glen Cavaliero has agreed to introduce the discussion, which will be on Owen Glendower Chapter 12 (‘Mathrafal’). Details from Sonia Lewis. A Powys Day at Dorchester is planned for Saturday 9th June. Frank Kibblewhite will deliver his postponed talk on Theodore and Llewelyn — Two Dorset Visionaries’ . More details in the March Newsletter, or contact ChrisThomas. Editorial The beauty of the Powys Society (as WJKeith says in his letter — p. XX) is its diversity, and this the Newsletter’s role should surely be to represent. Another happy conference is reported from different angles, by veterans and newcomers. The Llewelyn Walk was enjoyed as ever. A second instalment ofTheodore’s letters to his sisters comes from Mappowder in the 1940s. John Cowper appears as reviewer in 1928 of Proust, a writer whose indirect approaches and intense analysis might be thought to have echoes in JCP, if only to accentuate their differences. As David Gervais says, with JCP any influence is ‘likely to take the form of turning similar premises to quite different ends.’ We look back at the 1970s, with poems to JCP byTerry Diffey. Altogether elsewhere, Marcella H-P describes the Basque country as JCP might have seen it, an alternative Wales.

Full stakeholder and community consultation will be undertaken, following the statutory requirements of the ‘new’ planning system, and the corporate objectives of the Council, in order that the final decisions made by the Council are fully informed by the views of the District’s communities.
