hi all summer has arrived here at last. Just thought those with Dorset interests/connections would like to know of the following events:- 1) Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th July Tolpuddle Trade Unions Rally. The old Methodist Chapel is open on the Sunday for a service. There is a free museum there with a new shop (opened last year). There is lots going on both days, but Sunday is the main day. There is a kids area, entertainment from Billy Bragg and many others, plus stalls etc. Car parking £5, village is shut off from traffic. 2) Thursday 21st July 9pm The Smugglers Inn, Osmington Mills has the Morris dancers. Usually more than one group. Last year they had a BBQ and pirate themed fancy dress for all with prizes! 3) Saturday 30th July Milton Abbas C18th Street Fayre 11am-5pm. Free car parking, usually in local field with a mini bus laid on for those who find the walk to the village hard. Entrance £4 adults, £2 children, £10 family. The stall holders and villagers dress up in 18thC dress, many stalls, entertainment (Black Sheep band very good, especially the fiddler!) and much more. happy summer. Sally
