11 May 2002 Ploughman's Supper (Reprint of article in the Woodbury News) The W.S. Committee held a Ploughman's Supper in the Village Hall on 11 May 2002 and raised funds for our link with the village of Dumbutu in The Gambia. Mr Tony Bennett, who visited Dumbutu last Christmas, with his wife Alison and daughters Gemma and Kirsty, showed some photos and spoke of how they had been welcomed like Bob Geldof and Princess Diana rolled into one. One photo showed Alison operating the hand water pump, which is the sole source of water for the village which has the same number of residents as Woodbury Salterton. Another showed the multi purpose centre, which villagers built themselves with materials funded mainly by the Dumbuto link. Hand sewing machines, and tools for the carpentry and metal workshops have been sent out from our village. Alison is still collecting items to send out and needs more hand sewing machines, hand tools and any text or story books which could be used in the school. 50 children at the school are now being sponsored by the W.S. group.
