The results of the 2016 Questionnaire showed:
The existing facilities:
– The existing sports facilities are all important but there were many requests for new equipment
– The teenagers feel left out with no equipment specifically for them
– If possible, the existing football pitch by the school should be used more widely and for additional purposes
The annual Village events are all very popular, particularly:
– May Day fete
– Music on the Park
– Pantomime
– Village show
There was much interest in a wide range of new activities:
– Fitness, yoga/pilates & dance classes
– Badminton
– Adult education
– Family sports day
– Bonfire night
– Treasure hunt/Walks
– Village BBQ
– There is some interest in individual allotments, but more in a community garden/orchard
WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO DATE:
– Prepared a summary of the existing leisure activities in the local area, now in the CB Handbook
– Organised taster sessions for yoga, pilates, zumba, dance-fit, ballroom dancing and chair-based exercise and then helped tutors establish classes in suitable local venues
– Investigated land available for allotments and community garden/orchard
– Looked in to possibility of having more bridleways
– Organised taster sessions for film evenings
– Set up a walking group to organise monthly walks
– Prepared leaflet with 3 local walks
Activities were put on hold in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions but most have now restarted. We hope that more activities will be possible after the refurbishment of the Community Hall.
