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

Sherford sits snug in Dorset with a quiet charm that makes even a rainy afternoon feel like a proper holiday. The village green offers space for local gatherings while nearby villages provide plenty of options if you fancy a change of scenery. Near Here keeps track of what is on so you do not have to hunt through flyers or ask every neighbour who knows everyone. We list the community groups, seasonal markets, and family days that pop up without needing a ticket or a RSVP.
