Saturday 22 November 10.00am – 2.00pm: PSA Blood Test Event   

Graham Fulford Charitable Trust and New-Man Prostate Cancer Support are joining together to offer the chance for any man aged 40 – 80 to have a free Prostate blood test: visit the Mypsatests website, and then either Log in or Register for an account to book a test.   

PSA testing is a valuable tool in the early detection of prostate cancer. The group averages a detection rate for evidence of cancer in around 10% of the men who come forward for testing at these events, sending them on to GPs and specialists for further investigation.  They expect a take-up of 200 men, so potentially saving, or at least prolonging, 20 lives.  

Fridays, 9.00am – 12.00 noon: Dorchester Country Market

Dorchester Country Market is now takes place every Friday morning from 9am until 12noon in the Main Hall at United Church Dorchester – please enter via the Charles Street Entrance at the rear of the building, opposite the Library.

Do come along for home made baked goods, preserves, plants and a huge range of crafts – all sold by the makers and producers at our local market.
