Dorset Plane Pull 2026

Plane Pull 2026 Coach House Fitness is taking on the Dorset Plane Pull 2026! On Monday 31st August , we're swapping barbells for a Boeing 737 as the Coach House Fitness team takes on one of Dorset's most unique fundraising challenges! We'll be joining forces to pull a Boeing 737 a full 50 metres to raise money for the incredible Dorset Cancer Care Foundation , helping local people and families affected by cancer when they need it most. This isn't about being the strongest—it's about pulling together for a fantastic local cause. If you'd like to support us, we'd really appreciate a donation, no matter how big or small. Every pound goes towards helping local families across Dorset. If you're a Coach House member and fancy being part of the team on the day, let me know—we'd love to have you involved! We'll be sharing plenty of training updates (and probably a few aching legs afterwards! ) Please donate if you can. Share this post. Let's show what the Coach House Fitness community can do when we pull together. https://www.justgiving.com/page/coach-house-fitness-planepull?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL #CoachHouseFitness #DorsetPlanePull #DorsetCancerCareFoundation #PullingTogether #Community #Fundraiser #TeamCHF

More about East Morden

Dorset, England

East Morden sits comfortably in Dorset and has a few tricks up its sleeve for a quiet Sunday afternoon. The Morden Village Hall usually hosts something sensible like a craft fair or a community gathering where neighbours catch up over tea. It's not about grand spectacles, just good local sense. Pub quizzes might drift this way on a Thursday, while the hall keeps things moving with family events that keep toddlers occupied and adults entertained. We pull it all together so you don't need to hunt for ideas in the rain.
