The Village Fete Doorknock is happening this coming week (12-18th June)

~ bacaadmin

We do hope you are looking forward to the annual Bellingdon and Asheridge Village Fete and Fun Dog Show on Saturday 24 June. The Fete Committee has been working tirelessly at getting everything ready for what should be a fun day out for all the family.

Hopefully you have seen the flyer posted recently about the annual Fete Doorknock.  The Doorknock is our key “sourcing” activity for the Fete and without it, and your support, the Fete would be a more lacklustre affair.  However, every year you surprise and delight us with your donations and we are hoping for the same this year. 

In case you did not see the flyer, this is just a reminder that our volunteers will be coming by next week, starting on Monday evening to collect any donations you may wish to give and will also hand out free programmes and offer a chance to buy raffle tickets (there are some fabulous prizes this year).

Not sure what to donate?  We welcome anything that is new and / or in good condition (i.e. resalable) for the tombola and raffle (e.g. Bottles of wine or spirits, unopened toiletries, unwanted Christmas/ birthday presents ) lucky dip and children’s toy stall (new and nearly new children’s toys) and the book stall (books, cd’s, DVD’s, records etc).   If you are a keen baker, we would be very grateful if you can donate a cake or home baked goods for the tea and cake stall.  If so, please could you drop them off at the Village Hall at 12pm on Saturday 24th.  (There will be a prize for best cake /baked goods!)

Remember this is for a great cause.  Three local charities – BAVH (Bellingdon and Asheridge Village Hall), the Hospice of St Francis and the Chesham Foodbank are our selected Charities that will be supported by the fete this year.

If for any reason, the doorknock team don’t get to you, please call them to arrange collection (they should leave you a flyer with their contact no).  Alternatively, we are taking drop offs on Monday 12th 5.30- 7.30pm, Wednesday 14th 6-8pm and Sunday 18th, 5-6pm, at the Annex at the Village Hall.

Hope to see you all at the fete on the 24th, or at your door next week.

It’s fete@bellingdon.com if you need to contact us!

Join us at Bellingdon & Asheridge Village Hall this Friday for home-cooked food, pizzas, ice cream, a variety of drinks, pub games and more.

Outside games

We are happy for children (and adults!) to play games outside. However responsibility for children lies with the parents/guardians – and please leave any muddy shoes in the hallway.

Help on the night

We look forward to seeing you at the pub nights, which are run by volunteers.  If you are willing to assist in the setup, running or clear up after the pub night please do let us know.

Reminder: Christmas Eve Carol Service 4pm at Huge Farm

~ bacaadmin

We would like to welcome everyone to our traditional Christmas Eve carol service – back at Huge Farm by kind permission of Anka and John Taylor – for the first time since 2019. The service will begin at 4pm so please arrive in good time; there will be readings by children from the village, plenty of carols and refreshments afterwards.

Mince pies gratefully received on the day – please let Anka know if you’re able to provide some. There is no parking on site so please use the village hall car park or St John’s Church car park and walk the short distance to Huge Farm. When walking, please make sure you are well lit and have children under close supervision so everyone stays safe.
