Every month on the third Wednesday a group of volunteers run a 'soup kitchen' in the Broadwell Victory Hall. On each occasion we have three or four soups available, made by a handful of local chefs.
This month we had a vegetable, sweet potato and chorizo, pea and mint and lentil and Sweet Red Pepper soups available. Some of the soup makers also serve the soup
In a small community like ours events like the monthly soup kitchen pull us all together and make us stronger.

Every month a Knit and Natter group is held in the Victory Hall. On Wednesday the 7th May the group gathered to work on a variety of crafts, including knitting, crochet, painting, drawing and making pom-poms.
On Saturday the 12th of April the Broadwell Flower Show committee held their annual Spring Flower Show. Despite it being the start of the school Easter holidays, meaning several families had gone on holiday, there were a good number of friends and neighbours turn up to support the show with plenty of entries in most of the classes.
The spring flowers were especially good this year, with many fantastic top class entries.
There was also a collection of excellent rhubarb exhibits and a good selection of swiss rolls and lemon drizzle cakes. In the picture below we can see two of our residents deciding on which of the cakes may be the likely winners!
It was also a very poignant occasion as Pat Toole, a long time member of the Broadwell Flower Show Committee, had sadly died a few weeks before the show. Pat had always run the auction of produce at the end of each show and for the first time in many decades his familiar voice and humorous quips were no longer with us. You will always be remembered with great love and fondness Pat. In memory of Patrick James Toole, 15th December 1935 - 2nd March 2025
