Volunteers Week 1-7th June

~ bacaadmin

Bellingdon and Asheridge Village Hall and the Community Association rely extensively on volunteers. We’d like to take the opportunity of Volunteers’ Week to say a massive thank you to all those who help us. We really couldn’t do it without you.

All our trustees are volunteers, giving their time and expertise for free for the good of the community and the upkeep of the hall and grounds.

You may not know but we have a rota of people who open and close the front gate each morning and evening to keep the premises secure.

Our Annual Village Fete, Fun Dog Show and Classic Car Show, this year on 25th June, is run entirely by volunteers – both the committee, that starts work before Christmas of the previous year, and those who turn up year in, year out, to put out banners, do the annual doorknock, sort the donations, set up the field, run the stalls and take everything down again afterwards. If you’re interested in finding out more about how you can help at the fete please contact us.

The extremely popular tea & cake events (do come to our Jubilee tea this Sunday 5th June) pub nights, children’s Christmas party and seniors’ Christmas party are planned, stocked, cooked for and staffed by those who want to make the hall a valuable community resource.

Our quarterly print newsletter is distributed around both Bellingdon and Asheridge by volunteers. The website, eNewsletter and social media accounts are run by volunteers.

The hall and grounds would simply not be able to exist if it were not for those community minded folk who put themselves out to keep it running.

If you are interested in helping with any of the above, in however small a way, please do get in touch. We’re very friendly, definitely don’t bite, and would welcome any help at all.

If you would like to find out more about how the community association works, or even becoming a trustee please do come along to our AGM on 13th July.
