The past few months have been busy for us in the Sherborne area. We are delighted that Sir Antony Wilson, our former Treasurer, has agreed to become our President. He has done sterling work and his wise counsel is always greatly appreciated. Captain Lionel ‘Dickie’
Bird, our former Chairman and also a stalwart of the Society, has agreed to take on the role of Vice-President. It is good to have such experienced and knowledgeable people.
We are getting more people applying to join us and that is very heartening.
The Summer Outing to see Sherborne School was a great success and enjoyed by everyone. The school generously welcomed us with aperitifs and canapés and a talk on the new developments and Pat Gent followed this with a very comprehensive tour around some of the buildings. The evening finished with a delicious meal in the old dining hall.
We are keeping a close eye on local planning applications. At Poyntington Down, the application for re-profiling or landfilling was unanimously rejected by Dorset County Council Planning Committee.
If you would like to be more involved with what we do, or if you have suggestions on what you would like to see us do, then please have a word with me, our Secretary, David Gould or any member of the Committee.
