On behalf of Chilton Parish
Council and Chilton Village Hall Management Committee I would like to pass on
my heartfelt thanks to all those who helped and assisted in making the Chilton
Village Festival such a great event. With well over a 1000 people attending and
over £700 raised towards improvements within the Chilton Village Hall the
Festival was an outstanding success.
The enlarged and
refurbished Chilton Village Hall provided the ideal centre piece for the
Festival with excellent facilities and ample space for all. It was good to see so many folk from the
local community enjoying the relaxed ‘village’ atmosphere, as well as attending
the poignant Harwell Stone Memorial Service before returning for an evening of
live music.
The Festival would
not have been possible without the contribution from volunteers and support of
local businesses, individuals, companies, organisations and stallholders. Thank you!!
Looking to the future
for the Chilton Village Festival to continue there is a need for a small
dedicated team of volunteers to come forward to take up the mantle and build on
the success of the last two years. If
you are interested in organising and running the Chilton Festival next year
please contact Bob Girling – gnilrig@gmail.com.
To all those who made
the Chilton Village Festival possible and for those who attended……thank you!
Bob Girling

Background
Chilton Village Festival
Saturday 6 June 2015
Preparations are underway for the 2015 Chilton Village Festival that will take place on Saturday 6 June 2015.
The event will build on the success of last year’s Festival
and is aimed at further strengthening the bonds of the expanding Chilton Village
Community. The Festival will be an ideal
venue to showcase and promote the activities of local clubs, societies,
businesses and individual/group performers.
This year’s event will be centred on the newly expanded and
refurbished Chilton Village Hall and, as last year, will coincide with the
commemoration service at the Harwell Campus memorial stone which will be
organised by The Royal British Legion.
This is a non-profit event and relies on volunteers, local
groups, businesses and individuals to get actively involved therefore, if you
wish to:
- Volunteer
to assist in organising the Festive,
- Provide
a stall, act or demonstration,
- Provide
sponsorship
- Or
have a good idea for making the event enjoyable and fun
Then please contact or e-mail Bob Girling at gnilrig@gmail.com
