We hope you are all enjoying the warmer weather. It will not be long before all the town’s fi nery will be at its best and Upton in Bloom will be judged by Britain in Bloom. With all the great efforts put in by them we are sure there will be further success to build on all the awards of the past. We can all help by making sure that the town is clear of litter. Keep Upton Tidy will also be going around the area on Monday 3rd July for an hour from 6pm with representatives of Upton in Bloom for a fi nal tidy before the judgement. If anyone would like to join us, please call one of the above offi cers.


The next meeting of the Keep Upton Tidy Group will be at 6pm on Wednesday 2nd August at the Council Offi ces at Morland Way after which we will be announcing our Autumn Litter Pick day. Please note this is a change of venue. If anyone would like to attend they would be most welcome. Please contact one of the offi cers above to make sure we are aware you are coming and to ensure access to the meeting room. Just to confi rm, we are always delighted to see new faces even as a one-off to see what we do or bring up a litter concern. Meanwhile thanks to all those who have been looking after their areas or making sure litter gets to a bin.


Finally we would ask residents to be vigilant and advise the above named offi cers of any litter, fl y- tipping, dog fouling or overgrown pathways (or bins that have not been emptied) and we will do our best to resolve the problem.

A LOCAL GEM! Forum Jewellers of Broadstone is celebrating its 35th Anniversary as an independent family-run jewellers – offering excellent choice, exceptional customer service and quality items at competitive prices.


Whilst visiting family in Dorset in 1982, Iain and Sue Munro spotted an advertisement for a jeweller’s shop for sale in the small market town of Blandford Forum. Iain had


been in the jewellery business since 1966 when he first joined H Samuel – at that time still a family run business. Subsequent promotions moved him around the UK so when the opportunity presented itself to return to their home county, Iain and Sue were both keen to have a go at running their own business. They moved to Blandford in 1982 and, after five days of decoration, alterations and refitting, Forum Jewellers opened its doors and the new shop prospered.


After several years of trading, Iain and Sue Munro felt they were ready for a new challenge and opened a second shop in Dorset. In May 1998, Forum Jewellers of Broadstone opened its doors with a warm reception from the locals. In 2001, their daughter Helen joined the already well-established team and the difficult decision to sell the Blandford store was made in order to grow the potential of the Broadstone store.


Forum Jewellers has continued to prosper and has become a household name locally. Helen Molloy, Forum’s Director explains the ethos of the store: “We are a very focused family business which remains a traditional jeweller with the foresight to move with the times, selling traditional lines alongside current modern brands to appeal to all ages. We have an excellent choice of diamond rings, gold and silver jewellery and watches. We specialise in platinum, tanzanite, wedding rings, Pandora, and repairs – as well as offering excellent customer service and aftercare service.”


To celebrate such a special anniversary, Forum is offering a £35 gift voucher when anyone spends £100 or more. Forum is also inviting any original Blandford customers or ex-employees to share their story of shopping or working in the Blandford Store all those years ago. Five stories will be chosen at random, each receiving a £35 gift voucher with no purchase necessary. Email admin@forumjewellers.co.uk and/or visit the Forum Jewellers Facebook page for details.
