Soft drinks will be served with the meal but, as we are not licensed to sell alcohol, you are more than welcome to bring your own beverage of choice.

As usual we hope our neighbors will support us with flowers, food, raffle prizes and helping hands.  We all enjoy the variety of tantalising tastes from our combined culinary skills when the table groans with our home cooking.  Please tempt us with your culinary masterpieces!

Renewable Energy Companies will be outlining exciting new projects across the County. 

Our aim is to demonstrate the opportunities for strong Community envolvement in schemes to create local energy and reduce the cost of energy to people living nearby. There will be a continuous Forum being lead by local Hydro Expert Keith Wheaton Green where we shall have leading speakers talking about a miriad of subjects with lots of time for questions from all our visitors. 

We hope that this will be a great opportunity for the people of Dorchester and its surrounds to really engage with the opportunities that Renewable Energy offers both in reducing the burden of energy costs and making a contribution to the reduction in CO2 within Dorset. 

For lots more information please go to www.dorsetenergized.co.uk or our Facebook page.
