VE Day Street Party
8 March, 2015 by
Get the date in your diary for the Bagshot Village Street Party celebrating 70 years since victory in Europe. Sat 9th May 2015, 12-6pm. Lots to see and do – vintage cars, 1940’s fashion, rides, entertainment, stalls.
Bagshot Village Day Sunday 21st June 2015
9 February, 2015 by
The Bagshot Summer Village Day alternates between the High Street and other locations in the village – this year we have been invited to arrange the day at the Bagshot Playing Fields Association on College Ride. Those with long memories will remember we held the Millennium Fayre there in 2000, so we are due a return visit!
As you can see the date is Sunday 21st June – the longest day, so we are hoping for lots of sunshine to help the day go well. It will run from 1pm to 5pm, which allows time for families to get chores completed in the morning. As we also have several Church groups hoping to attend, this allows for Sunday Services to be completed and time for volunteers to set up the stalls.
As it is on a Sunday, we are hoping that many of the businesses from the village, can transfer their wares up to the pavilion and have a ‘pitch’. We are also asking for other interested groups around the village to run a stall or organise an activity – once you have paid for your pitch, all taking are yours to keep or pass on to your charity. We have some stalls you can hire – £40 for the day, or for £20 a pitch, you can bring your own tables and gazebo. Bagshot Events still need to raise money to cover costs and this is where we raise our funds. There is plenty of space to spread out on the field, although there is limited room in the pavilion itself, so we are looking for outdoor stalls and activities only. The pavilion itself will be used as a First Aid post, lost children, mission control ……. with kettle boiling facilities!
So, put the date in your diaries, and contact me if you wish to run a stall or organise an activity. Please send an email to events@bagshotvillage.com and I will send an application form and more details. If you wish to help on the day with setting up and/or tidying up afterwards, general marshaling, you would also be very welcome. Please send me an email with your name and contact number.
If you know any group, charity or business in Bagshot or the surrounding area, who would be interested, make sure you send them this message.
Thank you
Tina Carney, Valerie White, Geoff Marston Nick Dorrington and The BPFA Committee

Horses in Field at Grove End Bagshot
20 January, 2015 by
I have had a couple of messages now and conversations regarding the eight horses in a field on Grove End opposite Windlesham Golf Course entrance. Does anyone know who the field belongs to and who is caring for the horses? The concern seems to be the lack of grazing especially at this time of year and that no one appears to take extra foods or visit them. There is running water at the bottom of field, so that is not a worry. Can anyone shed any light on the situation? Please email me on events@bagshotvillage.com. Many thanks Tina Carney

Give your views on Bagshot Village Conservation Area
15 January, 2015 by
Surrey Heath Borough Council will be consulting on a Draft Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Document between 19 January and 1 March, which has been prepared for the Bagshot Village Conservation Area.
The council is asking for feedback from members of the public on the consultation and particularly from those who live, work or carry out business in Bagshot.
The Bagshot Village Conservation Appraisal and Management Proposals Document aims to:
Celebrate the vitality and unique identity of historic Bagshot by recording the history, buildings and public spaces that combine to make the conservation area a unique and special place.
Raise awareness of challenges facing the conservation area that could affect its special quality.
The document also outlines management proposals aimed at encouraging positive change within the conservation area and sets out proposals for a small change to the conservation area boundary.
Designated by local authorities, conservation areas are places of special architectural or historic interest that are desirable to preserve and enhance. The designation of these areas reflects the value attached to cherished places by local communities.
The preparation of the Bagshot Village Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Document also marks the start of a programme to update all of the council’s Character Area Appraisals.
You will be able to view the document online at www.surreyheath.gov.uk/BVCA from 19 January, at Bagshot Library and Windlesham Parish offices. It will also be available to view at the Surrey Heath Borough Council offices during normal opening hours. Comments can be submitted to Surrey Heath Borough Council by email or through the post.
