Project Bawdeswell

THIS SITE IS BEING UPDATED

The Project was founded in 2004 to follow up some of the issues raised by the 2003 Village Appraisal that the Parish Council had not yet had time to address. The issues around the children’s play area and the establishment of new clubs and recreational activities except for older youth have now been generally and successfully addressed leaving this and  the inadequacy of the Village Hall and Access outstanding. Now that the New Hall project is at the active fund raising and detailed planning stage it has transferred to the Village Hall Committee for completion. Project Bawdeswell is now  focusing on Youth Outcomes.

From The February 2013 Reeve’s Tale

Fel Roberts is now Chair of Project Bawdeswell. The previous PB group have been incorporated into the Village Hall Committee where they will continue their successful
fundraising for the New Village Hall.
The new focus for Project Bawdeswell is YOUTH ENTERPRISE.
We want to hold events that the young adults (11+) of the village are involved in at all
levels; advertising, budgeting, organising, running, hosting etc.
WHY? Because it can help them in their job applications, it can teach them new skills,
it can help bridge the gap between the age groups in our village and because it will
make them realise how valued and important they are to our community. They may
even be able to earn some cash, or set up their own business!
To that end, some events have already been planned and booked into the [very busy]
social calendar of the village.
Sunday February 10th – BAGY Family Breakfast. 8.30am – 11am
Sunday May 12th – BAGY Family Breakfast & Tractor Rally. 8.30am – 11am
Sunday October 6th – BAGY Family Breakfast. 8.30am – 11am
Saturday April 20th – Spring Senior Lunch 12.30 – 2pm
Saturday June 29th – Armed Forces Day Senior Lunch 12.30 – 2pm
Saturday November 9th – Remembrance Day Senior Lunch 12.30 – 2pm
It should also be noted that ALL PROFITS from these will go towards continued
development of the play area.
We still need helpers (aged 11 and over) and some keen adults to help mentor… would
