Just want to apologise for the couple of very short posts. I’d reached a point where I really didn’t want to lose the day count, but was too tired to write anything.
One of the things I have been wondering about is what is the optimum size of a community where people start finding that there is a group with a common interest. Doesn’t seem to be a lower limit. It appears that Winfrith Newburgh with a population of around 740 people has thriving garden and arts clubs, which is great for Elayne.
I have to go slightly wider afield if I want an amateur radio, astronomy or camera club. Dorchester and Weymouth are the most likely candidates, and there is an observatory at Durlston with an associated club, I. Think near Wimborne.
There is a walking club in the area and of course Dorset is festooned with lovely walks, so that will be good. I did promise that I would never become involved in a Committee again. I wonder how much interest there would be in starting any of those groups? No, I’m not going to do it, but I don’t mind testing the water.
There’s even a railway line nearby, but I don’t think the freight traffic will be very exciting. Definitely no shipping near by, so I’m afraid the marine traffic node will be going. I think I need to pay a bit more attention to what air routes, if any go over the area? Worth looking at being a flight radar node?
