Stalbridge Info has a new privacy policy, which (fingers crossed) complies with the loo roll of requirements we have had to read, try to understand, and of course implement.
A brief explanation... The privacy policy on Stalbridge Info has been auto-generated by Weebly (the company that provides us with the platform and web editor software with which we create and edit this site. This has all come about from the new regulations called GDPR (general data protection regulations) It is difficult to know from reading the blurb they provided us with how much data Weebly actually keeps and maintains as we (Stalbridge.info) are their 'customer'. One thing is for sure- We do not store any of your personal data on our site, except where you have asked us to advertise your group, business or other entity on the pages of the site. Where we have data like phone numbers, addresses or website urls on the pages of Stalbridge Info you have asked us to include them or we have posted them on your behalf as an internet identity you have posted yourself on your site or page. If you are not happy to have your information on the site please let us know. One way to find out where your information is stored (if at all) is by using the search engine on the top of the home page. Email Addresses When you email us through the contact form we deal with your enquiry as quickly as possible, respond where appropriate and then delete your personal information from the contact form pages and anywhere else. There are reasons we don't send out newsletters...1. We don't have a database of email addresses to do it with for a start...and 2.) All our news is posted on the site, so why would we? What we can't promise is that Weebly don't store your information. Their blurb has been poured through several times now and we're still none the wiser. So, as with all this type of thing, in the end, you have to make your own choices. If you would like to read our Privacy Policy please click on the button below. 
The Gartell Light Railway in Templecombe are holding one of their popular Open Days on MONDAY 28th MAY 2018. They open at 10:00am and operate a frequent train service between 10:30am and 16:30pm.
The Gartell Light Railway is a privately owned and operated 2 foot gauge railway which is open to the public on selected dates through the year. On its open days, the railway operates an intensive train service using 3 trains and is proud to offer a more intensive steam and diesel hauled train service timetable than virtually any other narrow gauge railway. Trains leave our main station at Common Lane every 20 minutes through the day. We have a further 3 stations, Pinesway Junction, Park Lane and Tower View, where each train stops at the platform and performs and interesting manoeuvre where the engine 'runs-round' its train before departing in the opposite direction. Another unique feature of our busy timetable is that 2 trains regularly depart, side by side, for different destinations before one descends the gradient and passes under a bridge as the other one passes overhead! So come along to the Gartell Light Railway and see for yourself - it really is a great place to visit for all the family. There are lots of interesting things to see together with the 'Pines' buffet serving hot and cold drinks and tasty snacks, our Visitor Centre containing lots of local railway memorabilia, the Railway Shop selling mementos of your visit and our lakeside picnic area - ideally placed for watching the trains pass by! For more information visit the Gartell Website below. 
Open mic night at the Swan Stalbridge. Friday 25th May 2018. 8.30pm. P A system provided. Anyone welcome. This is an Informal event. Come along and play something for a friendly and welcoming crowd! 
Thyme After Time Café in Stalbridge are hosting a Tapas and Paella Evening on Friday 15th June at 7pm
Hi everyone, With the sun now shining and the temperatures at a pleasant level for British Summer time, we thought this was the right 'thyme' to get our huge Paella pan out and get that Spanish style food cooked up. I plan to cook the Paella outside of our cafe in the marquee. We will possibly if weather permits also serve the rest of the buffet outside too, fingers crossed. The menu I am going to hold out on just for the second as we are headed off to Spain before this event and so I am keen to draw on ideas from places I visit and learn whilst we are over there, a new injection of inspiration! As soon as I am back though you can rest assured I will write the menu with renewed vigour! In essence the menu will start with sharing Tapas style sharing platters at your table, followed by a buffet consisting of seafood and Chicken Paella, also some other main course dishes to choose from and tasty side dishes including salad and hot dishes. (This is the part I intend to reserach whilst I am away, so please bear with me- you will most definately get the best out of me this way for the menu!) There will then our delicious homemade dessert buffet for you to come and choose from. Fresh coffee will be served to you after your meal. Price per head- £29.50, payble upon booking. We are also very happy to provisionally reserve you a table for 24 hours whilst you get in touch with your pals to know if they can come with you. You are welcome to bring your own Sangria or whichever alcoholic drink you so choose, we simply charge you £1 per person to cover bottle disposal and glass washing. We hope you will come and join us! Kind regards Margot, Steve and the gang. Thyme after time | Event Catering, Online Foodstore & Café in the heart of rural Dorset

Views are wanted on healthcare services for children and young people in Dorset
Young people, parents and carers who use physical healthcare services in Dorset are being asked to give feedback on what's good and what could be done better. Views given will help inform improvements to services for local children and young people up to the age of 25, including bringing care closer and identifying problems at an earlier stage enabling earlier interventions. Views can be given by completing our online via the Dorset's Vision website. Click on the button below to visit the website and complete the survey. Views are also being sought at a number of meetings and events with children, young people, parents and carers; including in a number of local schools. The online survey takes about ten minutes to complete and asks respondents for views on the care they receive at home, via their GP surgery, community hospital and educational establishment. All information given is confidential and people can sign up to stay informed and involved in using the views sought to help design future plans. Anne Salter is Head of Service (Children's and Learning Disability) with NHS Dorset CCG "Over the coming weeks we will be promoting this review to encourage as many people as we can to take part. "We want to give the message to young people living in and around Dorset, their parents and carers that it's OK to tell us if there is something they feel needs improvement when it comes to services around physical health and now is the time to have your say make your voice heard. Likewise, if there is something that works well, tell us - we want to hear all views, the good, the bad and everything in between and are inviting anyone who uses these services or cares for someone who does, to have a say." The survey runs until Friday May 18.
