MIDDLETON COMMUNITY COUNCIL

Middleton Community Council has existed for a number of years in order to raise funds which are used for entertainment, enjoyment and the increase of amenities to the village.

There is a committee which meets at regular intervals to organize a range of events, discuss suggestions and come up with new ideas. Anyone resident in the village is eligible and welcome to attend, participate and offer their services, expertise and time. The membership fee is £2.50 per annum which allows participation in all events.

In the past there has been quizzes, beetle drives, bingo, film shows, cheese and wine parties, wine tasting and a ceilidh. New, viable ideas are always welcome!

The main event, at present, is the annual village fete which takes place on the August Bank Holiday Saturday. This is the main fundraiser of the year and has taken place on recent years in the centre of the village on the Bell Inn Field. Attractions include a fun dog show, stalls, games, BBQ and children’s activities.

The funds raised finance an annual Christmas Party for the senior citizens and other Community Council members, an annual Christmas outing for the children of the village and purchase items for use by the community at large. To date purchases include, tables for the village hall, a barbeque, a gazebo, football posts for the playing field, the erection of the pavilion on the playing field and the connection of water.
