HERMITAGE
Warm, sunny weather arrived at last, just in time for the wedding of Cheryl House and Ben Rieper. A radiant Chez was walked up the aisle by her father Kevin to exchange her vows with soldier Ben, captain in the Army Air Corps. Rev. George Moody conducted the service, accompanied by live music from her mother Faye and friends. The bride and groom emerged from church under a guard of honour for a celebratory drink on the lawn at Church Farm followed by a reception in a marquee on the Green, with a display of falconry to entertain their guests. We wish them great happiness in their marriage. Thank you to the spring-cleaning work-party of Jan, Lesley, Jane and Geoff who made the church gleam in readiness, and to Kevin for pressurewashing the moss from the path.

Annual Dance The Annual Dance on Hermitage Green will run again this year on Friday 6 August, in accordance with Covid restrictions. This may well mean fewer people to allow for ‘distancing’. Final decisions will be taken when Boris reveals the next steps forward. As in previous years, we will have various games, a draw and a presentation to the Dorset Air Ambulance. There will be dancing to local band ‘Stress’, BYO 21
