Report Purpose: To provide an update with regard to the Village Festival

Version Control: v0

Author: Clerk

Report Summary

The report provides an update with regards to the Village Festival and outlines financial implication to sponsor the event and have a presence on the day.

Background

Shavington Village Festival fist started back in 1976, to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. A Committee was set up to organise a Village Festival in the summer of 1977, and from the outset, the Committee decided that the prime objective of the Festival would be to create the opportunity for local organisations to raise funds, usually by running a stall. It was a successful event and so popular that it had continued for over 40 years.

Position

To support the event, Shavington-cum-Gresty Parish Council resolved to sponsor the Traffic Management cost up to £800 (Parish Council meeting, April 7^th, 2021).

A quote was received and accepted from Amberon TM, for the value of £627+VAT. Details of Traffic Management service required for the day, and submission of all the necessary documentations to the competent Authority are outside the scope of the sponsorship and will be dealt by the event organisers.

On June, 9^th Members resolved to have a presence on the day of the event and to delegate the Clerk to proceed with the operational arrangements for the day.

Since then:

The Village Festival booking form was filled and sent
Amberon TM was paid
Brave Little Tank has been asked to design: 2 ScG branded banner, 4 One identity branded banner, A3 village map
500 metal badge pins with the One identity logo have been ordered
12 green t-shirt for volunteers were ordered
12 blue t-shirt for Cllr were ordered
Cllr Jones agreed to lend a gazebo for the day
Newsletters were distributed with promotional articles for the Village Festival
