Pimperne Village School Letter Link We would like to create a link between the Worshippers at St Peter's Church and the children at Pimperne school. The idea is for you to write a letter or post card that will be sent to the school. The children will reply by sending a picture or a letter to be displayed in Church. This is a guide for your correspondence, but you don't have to stick to it – When I was your age my favourite Bible story was ..................... My school was in the village/city/town..................... I walked ?? miles to school every day My favourite lesson was ..................... My favourite game was..................... My best friend was..................... My school day started with assembly every morning ..................... The thing I liked most about school was ....................... You get the idea? You may sign it with your name but please only show your address as Pimperne or Blandford Forum. We want to start a 'conversation' between the school children and the church. They are very interested in how things were for you when you were their age. It can be short or long. Entirely up to you. We would like to send these letters to the school this September so they can read them when they settle back in and know that we are still thinking about them. I can arrange to collect your letter and then take them all to the school for the start of term. For more info call or text Jacqui Torrance on 07950 753320 or leave a message on 480713, or email [email protected] Opening of Churches for Private Prayer. The churches of St Peter, St Nicholas and Holy Trinity are open on Thursday mornings from 10am to Noon. Please follow the guidance posted at the entrances to each Church. This is in line with the current guidance issued by the Government, H&S Executive and CofE. When the Churches are closed our church porches will still be available as Prayer Spaces for private prayer. If you would like us to pray for someone or a situation, you are welcome to write it down (it can be anonymous), place it in an envelope provided and put it in the basket which can be found in the Church porches of St Peter, Pimperne, Holy Trinity, Stourpaine and St Nicholas, Durweston. I will collect them on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, due the current restrictions, we are not able to provide pens and paper. Information about our services, morning and evening prayer can be found on our website http://www.psdbenefice.org.uk. New!! Church and Zoom Services - All times change in September! The Sunday service rota from 23 August to 27 September can be found on page 5 and on the Website; please read! Services are open to all and everyone across the Benefice. Page 4 If you are thinking of attending a Church service, please could you consider the following: . Hymn books, Bibles and service orders have been safely stored away. If you are attending the BCP service, please could you bring a copy of the Prayer Book with you. For other services there will be a take-away service sheet for you to keep. Social distancing in church remains at two metres. This means we may need to restrict the number of people attending the service. You will be asked to wait at the door; the church warden or sides person will direct you to your seat. The wearing of face coverings is mandatory when attending Church Services. At the end of the service, please remain seated until you are asked to leave by the church warden or sides person. The toilets at St Peter’s and St Nicholas’ churches will not be open for use. There will be a retiring collection at the end of the service. Please place your gift in the basket as you leave. However, there is high level risk of cross contamination associated with coins and notes. If this is your usual way of giving, could you perhaps now consider paying by standing order? If you would like more information on this method of payment, please contact your church treasurer: St Peters - Velda Andrews Holy Trinity - Caro Mackay St Nicholas - John Young The completed risk assessment for ‘opening churches for worship’ can be found on the Benefice website.

  • New Love for Milborne's Old Stag
    R e p o r t e80p where r sold News and Views from around the area Volume 10 Issue 2 February 2018 www.milbornestandrew.org.uk/reporter facebook.com/MilborneReporter New love for Milborne’s old stag See page 3 A slow start to the New Year at Village History Group A very few people managed to make the meeting in January, those who did thought that many, who regularly come, could still be on holiday or unwell. We hope for more people next meeting. At this meeting Linda shared files of information that she has discovered by researching various websites. She has census returns and information from other sources (including the Reporter) which will inform our collation of information. She has been researching books written about other villages which may inform how we structure a book should we choose that route. Linda has also discovered an interesting website which shows photos of old Fordington; www.millstreethousingsociety.co.uk. Could this inspire us to create a website? We also discussed joining the Dorset History Network again but concluded that as no members appear to have accessed it, we would not do so. The History Group asks those who come to pay a small subscription; there is now a healthy sum which we could use to pay for speakers. If anyone has any good ideas about subjects or presenters please let me know. The next meeting is 14th February at 7.30pm in The Royal Oak. Hopefully members who volunteered to write up information about specific buildings will be able to share these with the group.

  • 6. Stour Catchment Case Studies
    6. Stour Catchment Case Studies 6.1. Imagery depicting the physical and environmental characteristics of the River Stour from source to sea – its fluvial processes and observable changes over time Introduction The River Stour, and its wider catchment, extends from Wiltshire, through Dorset, to drain into the English Channel, encompassing a total geographical area of some 1,240 square kilometres. The river flows through a widely varying landscape, which has been determined by the underlying geology which comprises mainly chalk, limestone, clay or mixed sands and gravels. This varied landscape, which is characterized within the catchment by elevated chalk downs, limestone ridges, and low-lying clay valleys, is designated in part as an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. Along its course, from source to sea, the Stour is swollen in size by numerous tributaries as it follows a southern then south- easterly course, from south of Stourhead to Christchurch Harbour. From the north-east side, the Stour is fed by the Shreen Water, the River Lodden, the Iwerne, the Tarrant, the Allen, and the Moors River. From the west and south-west, its tributaries include the Cale, the Lydden, the Divelish, and the River Winterbourne. Between the high chalk downs can be found wide vales and floodplains, such as the Blackmore Vale, which is bounded on its eastern side by Cranborne Chase, to the north from above Gillingham and extending toward Sherborne to the west. The high hills bordering the Stour offer outstanding vantage points for observing the course of the river as it meanders through its upper and middle reaches on its journey down towards the coast.
