Welcome to the Group Dave. In my original post on this, I mentioned that you
should consider responding if you have "an interest in this (and can spare
the time)". I'm now about halfway through the consultation document and have
to say it seems to be saying the right kind of things. However, it is over 30
pages (including the questions and response form), so there is an investment
needed.

We used to meet on alternate months in Dorchester, when we had a fairly large
contingent from Weymouth, Bridport and round about. Recently however, only
Ralph turned up regularly from the Dorchester area, so we switched to
alternating with Blandford. That was good for a while, but then we had a
couple of meetings that only attracted about three of us, so we moved
permanently to Bournemouth, where we generally get a good turn-out.
If you can get enough support for returning to Dorchester, then I suspect we
could resurrect the alternating scheme.
