'Mixing DNA results with a paper trail - A talk by Doctor Penny Walters' is taking place in The Hub@Stalbridge on Wednesday 12th February 2020 at 2.30pm. This event has been arranged by The Blackmore Vale Group of The Somerset and Dorset Family History Society. "The biology and jargon of DNA can be overwhelming! Many people don’t know what do with all the information, and just focus on their ethnicity result. The advantages and disadvantages of different DNA tests will be explored and attendees will be shown how to add ‘useful’ DNA matches to their tree to inform a re-structured paper trail."
Dr Penny Walters is a university lecturer with several Family History books to her name. She will be exploring DNA tests and this session will explain how to merge established paper trails with DNA results. The biology and jargon of DNA can be overwhelming and people have had to learn this new branch of genealogy quickly. Through DNA testing, people receive ethnicity estimates, a heritage map, a list of people that DNA ‘matches’ (overlaps) with, and the opportunity to contact them and collaborate if both parties want to. Many people don’t know what to do with all that information, and just focus on their ethnicity result. The advantages and disadvantages of different DNA tests will be explored; a consanguinity chart will be provided; useful information for adoptees will be given. Attendees will be shown how to add ‘useful’ DNA matches to their tree to inform a re-structured paper trail. All are welcome. Have a look at their poster below for further details. Please do come along and join us on Christmas Day at The Hub in Stalbridge for a cuppa, some cake and a chat. Everyone is welcome! Whether you will be celebrating Christmas with family and friends or by yourself, if you need to escape for 5 mins and see a friendly face come and join us. Anytime from 10am until 12pm. We look forward to seeing you... The Community Information Office in Stalbridge has announced that they will no longer be opening their doors from 1st November 2019. They cite this decision as being based on the lack of footfall to the Community Office over a period of time. However, there will still be the Friday afternoon Tea and chat from 2pm to 4pm that currently exists at the Hub in Stalbridge. So if you fancy a cuppa and chat at the Hub, in a friendly atmosphere then pop down every Friday from 2pm to 4pm and join in the fun!

The Stour and its Mills - The importance and history of our local mills - a talk by Peter Loosemore. Sturminster Newton Mill is one of a series of ancient flour mills built on the River Stour. It is thought that there may have been a mill on this site in Saxon times and there is evidence that a mill existed in 1016. The Mill is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 where four mills in the Sturminster area are mentioned. The Blackmore Vale Group of The Somerset and Dorset Family History Society present this fascinating talk on Wednesday 10th April at 2.30pm in The Hub at Stalbridge.

St Marys Church and The Hub at Stalbridge are holding a Marmalade Sale on 23rd March. There's still time to join in with this Seville partnership by making your own for the church to sell.
The sale will take place between 10.00am and 12 noon on Saturday 23rd March in The Hub at Stalbridge, just off Station Road. All proceeds go to The Church of St Mary in Stalbridge. The word 'marmalade' comes from 'marmelo', which is Portuguese for 'quince'. The first marmalade consumed in Britain was a thick quince and rosewater paste, and was supposed to be eaten just after your meal to help with digestion. Most European countries use "marmalade" as a generic term for jams of all flavours, simply adding the name of the fruit to the description. In Italy, for example, jam made from oranges is called 'marmellata di arancia'. The earliest known British recipe for marmalade made from Seville oranges is "marmelet of oranges" in a recipe book written by Eliza Cholmondeley about 1677. But marmalade was not produced on a commercial scale until the beginning of the 18th century, when an offshore storm forced a Spanish ship packed with Seville oranges seek shelter in Dundee harbour. James Keiller, a local grocer at the time, purchased the entire cargo at a very keen price, only to discover that these oranges were not sweet but sour and he couldn't sell them to anyone. His mother, Janet, came up with the idea of replacing the quinces she usually used to make marmalade with these oranges. She sold it in the family grocers shop and it proved so popular that she began to make it year in year out. Within 20 years the demand for orange marmalade in Scotland was so great that the world's first marmalade factory was opened in Dundee in 1797. Stalbridge Archive Group presents an evening of "True or False", The Fun Quiz for teams of up to six people, taking place in The Hub at Stalbridge on Friday 22nd February 2019 at 7.30pm. Tickets at £5 each are available from The Vintage Tool Shop at the top of Station Road. Tea, Coffee and Biscuits will be available or you can bring your own drinks and nibbles! We're not sure from the poster below what format the quiz will take but it seems to involve identifying what Vintage tools are used for, and quite probably entails a bit of Bluffing going on...
