Chilton Foliat Fete 2005
Saturday
4th June 12.30 - 3.30pm
Entry by lucky program: Adults £1, children under 18, free.
Win
a brand new £700 computer in our raffle
Our village fete is an
annual event, held at our Recreation Ground (behind the Wheatsheaf
Pub). It's a great day out for all the family, and this year's
fete promises to be much bigger and better than before.
Entry is by lucky program (buy
it at the gate), and it will be a great day out for all the
family. There's something for everyone, and you can feed the
whole family at the Burger BBQ, as well as having a drink at the
licensed bar or the tea tent. The Burgers will be top quality,
and the beer will be real and well-kept. And there are lots of other
fun events for the whole family (click
here to see the list), with home-made cakes and home-grown
plants for sale, not to mention bric-a-brac that will keep you
rummaging for hours hunting for those bargains.
There are some really amazing
prizes to be won in our raffle, including a brand new £700
computer system. Just click
here to see them. It's a growing list, so bookmark this
page and come back as often as you can. We'll soon be enabling
on-line purchasing of raffle tickets. If you're interested
in being kept informed, click
here. And if you want to buy tickets, we have shops in
Marlborough, Hungerford and Newbury where you can buy them. Click
here to see them.
The monies raised
by the
the fete go to the local church (St
Mary’s) and the village hall, both of which need
substantial sums
spending on their roofs. Both are essential community buildings, as
well as being of great historical interest.
We look forward to
seeing you at the Fete on 4th June!

The final meeting of the
fete including the committee and all helpers who could come was on 19th
June 7.45 at the hall. All are welcome to attend. Topics
discussed included constitution, program design and content, review
of publicity to date, review of raffle & tombola prizes, as well
as the amazing amount of bric a brac donated to date, signage, car
parking, portaloos, site layout, events, personnel, table and chair
requirements, timetable, helpers, projected revenue and costs,
revenue allocation. Everyone
seems to be completely behind the fete, and it was a very positive
meeting with everyone looking forward to the big day.
The last meeting for the fete
committee was 13th January 2005.
The
inaugural meeting of the 2005 Village Fete committee was held on 15th
November. Those present
included luminaries who have enabled the fete to happen over the
years. In fact, it was their idea. The
committee members decided it was time for a change of blood, and
so a vote was taken for a new chair and vice-chair. Nick
Davies was elected chair, and Patrick Mallison vice-chair. Patrick
was also voted in as treasurer, as nobody else volunteered, and
Patrick picked the short straw. Patrick has since resigned
due to family commitments. But he'll still be involved! Since
then, Nick Fritz has kindly agreed to be Treasurer. If you'd like to be
involved with the fete, please let us know you're. Email the
chairman at nick@chiltonfoliat.com.
You'll be added to the Fete committee email list. And asked for
your opinions and input! And email us too
if you have ideas for stalls, fund-raising, prizes, etc. All
suggestions will be seriously considered. So don't
just sit there, contact us! Please
do get in touch with your ideas and suggestions. This is a
community event, and everyone is welcome to take part!
