The following are regular Village Hall activities, including several where locals have joined together to form their own club. A contact point is given where one is known but failing that we will try to help if you send an email to the Village Hall team.

Artsreach
The charity Artsreach is Dorset's rural touring arts organisation, giving rural communities all over Dorset the opportunity to see and participate in high quality arts events in their own villages. Their organisation and sponsorship enables us to put on four or more top quality shows each year at affordable prices. To find out more click here. http://www.artsreach.co.uk The local organisers are Elaine and Dave Knight, tel: 01929 400492

Badminton Group
Our friendly group meets every Friday evening at 8pm for 2 hours. With only one court, we play doubles and everyone is welcome to come along and play. All abilities, no membership fee, no commitment. Just turn up and join in. For more details contact: Gil Oastler - 01929 400169

Dance Group
We have several evening dances and afternoon tea dances throughout the year, and also a New Year’s Eve party. Our events are mainly ballroom and sequence dancing. For more information, look in the Parish News or contact Giles Marsh, Tel: 01929 400259

History Group
We meet about four times a year in the Village Hall, and also have a village walk to look mainly at buildings of historical interest. One of our main objectives is to collect an archive of local history, and anyone interested in helping would be most welcome. Look at the exhibition in the church, and for more information, contact Viv King (01929 400294) or Mike Halsall (01929 400321). Dates of meetings are advertised in the What's On section of the website and the Parish News. Everyone welcome.

Junior Drama
This is an organisation for young would-be actors/singers. Rehearsals are held Saturday afternoons and a big stage show is produced at least once a year by Chris Eldred. Contact her on 01929 405217 for all information.

Lulworth and District Garden Society
The society was formed in January 1984 as a forum for people living in the district with a shared interest in gardening. Meetings are held at Lulworth Village Hall on the second Wednesday of each month, in the evening. The meeting comprises a brief discussion of society business and future plans, followed by a talk given by a professional speaker, usually illustrated. The topics are mostly garden related and range from instruction on specific techniques, the planning and construction of show gardens and photographic tours of gardens of specific interest.

The society holds an annual flower and vegetable show in August, which is open to Society members and entries from non members are also welcomed. Cash prizes and trophies are awarded in a wide category of classes. A flower of the month competition is held at each monthly meeting, with the member accruing the most points overall awarded an annual trophy. Special events are held during the year, such as an evening outing to a local garden of particular interest, possibly a day-trip summer outing, whilst the December meeting takes the form of a Christmas party. Potential new members or visitors to our meetings are always welcome. The annual subscription fee is a very modest £6.

Over 60s
The group meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 2.30pm. Contact Maureen Colvin - 01929 400361 - for up to date information on the Over 60s Group.

Parish Council
We meet on the first Monday of the month at 7.30 p.m. in the Village Hall. Prior to the start of the meeting there is a public participation period for members of the public attending to raise issues, questions or give comments/ views as they wish.

Meetings are fairly informal and you are most welcome at all times. They can go on till quite late. You are welcome to stay to the end, but feel free to leave when you want to.

Post Office
We have an Outreach Post Office in the Meetings Room.
Mondays and Fridays 9.15 am to 12.15 pm.
Tuesdays 9.15 to 11.15 am.

Short Mat Bowls Club
The club meets on Monday (7 - 9pm) and Friday (5 - 7pm) in the Village Hall. We have three mats and several sets of bowls for general use. Some members bring their own bowls; that is not necessary, but soft footwear that will not damage the mats is essential.
The cost for the two-hour session is £2. Beginners are always welcome and tuition is available. For more information contact:
Ron Kellock 01929 400243
Colin Broadhurst 01929 400473

Skittles Group
We meet at 7.30 p.m. every Tuesday evening for a game of skittles and a social get together. We split into two teams who compete to get the highest score. Amongst us are beginners, and those who play quite well. All ages enjoy playing. If you would like to join in please contact John (Tel: 01929 400479), or turn up one Tuesday evening and have a word with him.

Table Tennis
We meet Monday afternoons at 2pm in the main hall for a very light hearted bash. We usually have 3 to 4 tables occupied and up to 16 members can be there enjoying a good session. One or two players are of a good standard, but the rest of us are not, so don't feel too bad if you are a beginner as you will soon be as good as many of us. If you are an experienced player then maybe you can teach us a thing or two! Membership is casual, so pay when you come.

A tea-break rest is provided at 3pm and we finish at 4pm. There is a small charge for the hall hire and we take turns in doing the refreshments. Equipment is available to borrow for the session. We have seasonal breaks during Easter and summer roughly aligning with the school holidays. Please come along and join in. Contact Barbara Norton – 01929 400301

Women's Institute (WI)
Our meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month, at 7.30pm in the Village Hall. Visitors are always most welcome. West Lulworth WI brings women together to enjoy friendship through regular monthly meetings with interesting speakers, planned walks, craft mornings, outings, book clubs and mah-jong evenings. Members also participate in just a few of the County WI events on offer, such as the County Quiz and the skittles tournament.
