The Bold Dragoon continues to be an important community asset.  Peter and Julie and the staff have consistently supported the social activities of the WFVRA allowing us to host many events for the residents, such as the monthly coffee mornings, brunches and regular Association social evenings. The facilities afforded the Macmillan coffee morning and bric-a-brac sale on the morning of 3rd September are testament to the willingness of the Bold to be part of our busy and lively village.  Indeed the opening of the garden as well as the restaurant for the Macmillan morning contributed to the pleasant surroundings and ultimately the record amount of £578.45 raised by the event.
Over 50 members attended this annual event.

Our thanks also go to Liz Gausden, the driving force behind the event, and for weeks beforehand the warehouse keeper for the mass of bric-a-brac collected.

But it seems that not only the WFVRA and its members are appreciative of the work and service provided by the Bold Dragoon team. Apart from receiving the recent award for Chronicle & Echo Restaurant of the Year 2018, The Bold has again reached the finals of the SME National Business Awards 2018.  Hopefully the final judgement will recognise what is self-evident to us all – the Bold is a pub which sees itself as part of the community.
