Events report

Purbeck Ice Cream – we had a fabulous afternoon at Purbeck Ice Cream in March where the team  were very welcoming and we learned about the ethos of this family-run/owned local business. This was followed by a tour of the ice cream production areas and we then got to sample some of the yummy ice cream that they produce.

Encombe House – our next social event is a very special visit on June 19th to the gardens at Encombe House owned by the Gaggero family. Numbers have had to be limited and it has been quickly booked up. There is a long waiting list and priority will be given to those members if we are able to arrange another visit in the future.

July Beach Picnic – this will be on July 10th with a circular walk around Old Harry and then a get together on South Beach for an evening picnic.  It’s all very relaxed. Join us for just the walk, just the picnic, or both activities. Last year we had a lovely sunny evening and a beautiful sheltered spot on the beach, so here’s hoping for a repeat this year.

Other events in the planning for later this year are:
November 6th – a talk then a tasting and making workshop at Chococo chocolate house in Swanage.
December 10th – Christmas lunch at the Isle of Purbeck Golf Club.
