CHILLINGTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

UPDATE

A GREAT FIREWORKS DISPLAY

Your chair writes:

Luck was with the CCA for the firework evening last Friday 4^th November. Although it rained heavily nearly ALL day giving great cause for anxiety, the skies cleared and a record number of people turned up on the field to watch another superb display, lasting almost 25 minutes!

The BBQ was flat out from the very start and sold out in record time! The Tuck shop was a huge success, as was the bar! Everything was very busy and hopefully turned a decent profit! The whole team worked so hard during the evening and next day at the clearing up session.  Well done to everyone involved, those who built the bonfire (twice!), the chaps who set up and managed the firework display, those who managed the BBQ and tuck shop and Olly and his lads on the bar. Also thanks to our 2 professional First Aiders who were on site throughout the evening.

On display in the hall were copies of the proposed plan for the hall and play equipment which were viewed with great interest.

This year, thanks to a widespread campaign for support for the fireworks, we were fortunate to receive more than £500 towards the cost of the event, which is fantastic given the current climate. 

Any surplus once all the bills have been paid will of course be going towards the new hall. The CCA would like to offer its grateful thanks to all those individuals and local businesses who gave so generously. The collecting pot in the Post Office has collected over £200 in the time it has been there, this is also destined for the hall rebuild fund.
