The Pop In Place Operation Poppy

Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in this special project.
We were able to have a beautiful backdrop for our show and then transfer it to Souls moor bridge, we also had a display outside the village Hall on the railings.
So many hands have been involved in the sewing, knitting and crochet, every poppy is unique as were the people who created them.
A wonderful effort to commemorate VE Day  80 years anniversary 8th May 2025

Pop In Performers Group Present “There’ll Always be an England”
On Thursday 1st Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd  of May

This special production looks at the time around VE Day some 80 years ago.
We learn about the real people who were living in Bere Regis, and the part they played in the war.
All of this is interspersed with the songs and the fashion from that time.
This promises to be entertaining, but also very moving historical production.
We hope that you will come along and support us as we relive the lives of our villagers and join together to reflect, and give thanks for all those who contributed, and also those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you to everyone who has been knitting poppies for the back drop and helping to sew them to the netting.
The productions backdrop is part of a community project and together we have created a stunning array of poppies, all different sizes colours and not forgetting the purple ones for the animals lost in war.
We will be raising funds for the Royal British Legion and tickets are £5 each and available form Alison Bennett 01929 472023 (See poster for details of times etc )

Tribute to Colin Vowles

It was with deep sadness that we learn that dear Colin Vowles has passed away.
We send our love and deepest sympathy to Gwen and all the family.
Colin was part of our organisation from the very beginning right back in 1996.
We were so happy to see him at our recent Christmas party last year.
Colin worked so hard at the beginning of the Pop In Place he did all the shopping for the café, collected raffle prizes, run the raffles, collected people and drove them into the cafe;s.
Colin along with Gwen played a big part in building up the Pop In Place client base, introducing many new people to all we had on offer, they both made a real and lasting difference to so many, and helped us to be the success that we are today.
There are friends and there is family and there are friends that become family.
Rest In Peace Colin you will be forever remember within our organisation.

Pop In Place Move Well

Move well is a class that promotes all round wellbeing by helping people stay active, improve their overall strength and flexibility and reduce the risk of trips and falls by doing balance exercises.
It’s also a great way to meet, socialise and be with other people.
Because our focus is on having fun it can really help our mental health too.
Most of the exercises are done seated so that everyone can join in and the movements are all adaptable so you can choose for yourself what is appropriate to you.
The balance practice exercises are also done with the use of a chair, to help build confidence. We include some slightly higher energy exercises to help keep our hearts healthy.
All the movements are to music which in its self can be great for our emotional wellbeing.
As we get older our muscle strength and flexibility can start to decline which makes keeping as active as possible even more important.
Our class can help you improve your overall range of movement and if you are already active, it can be an additional way of maintaining your fitness and energy levels.
Our classes are subsidised by the Pop In Place funds and are held at the Bere Regis Village Hall on Mondays from 11am – 11:45am the cost of each class is £5.
No need to book in advance. Just come along and join in our fun and very friendly class, where you will be guaranteed a very warm welcome.
