Local Area Forum grants for events and culture
The March Frome Vale Area Forum has given Community Grants to four well known events and organisations:
Chipping Sodbury Festival £1500
This grant will support activities that encourage participation by children and young people - the display boards for the Schools Art Exhibition, insurance for schools and other groups in teh Carniva, and a contribution towards the running costs of the Battle of the Schools bands and Music in the Street.
Yate and District Heritage Centre Trust - Yate International Festival £2080
Last year this very successful event attracted over 2000 visitors, bringing together many different groups and cultures through music and dance, food and activities.
Yate and District Archeological Group - Medieval Archaeology Day £1496
This event will allow visitors to learn about archeology and history through hands on activities, try out modern techniques such as geo-phys and learn new skills. Hopefully some will be tempted to take part in future archeological work with the Group.
Three Parishes Tourism Group £1400
The Tourist Infomation Office and its enthusiastic volunteers provide a wealth of information and help, not just for visitors, but for local people too. This grant will fund a reprint of the popular Chipping Sodbury Circular Walk and Treasure Hunt leaflet and provide heating so that the TIC can remain open throughout the winter months.
