Village in Bloom judging dates

Now's the time to hang out those hanging baskets and planters.

On July 9th the Royal Horticultural Society judges will be touring the village looking for how residents and businesses have decorated their properties for the Britain in Bloom competition.

Gloria Hunt from the Village in Bloom team wants to encourage everyone to make a special effort and build on the success of last year when we won the Community Garden award.

The Village in Bloom team have been busy planting bulbs, re-doing community pots and supporting the wild flower meadow.

Titchfield Gathers Together

The Titchfield Community Centre have invited all village Clubs, Societies and Fund Raising Groups to a social  event on Tuesday 5th June.

The ‘gathering’ will enable members of all village groups to mingle socially and, by working together, help eliminate clashes of events.

Here, on ‘Titchfield News’ we have a ‘What’s On’ calendar which is open to all village organisations to submit their events and meetings. 

Click HERE to view the calendar.

Community Centre Chairman, Ann Whyntie, explained, “There are often events in the Village that “clash”, and it could benefit all of us, particularly if fundraising, to be aware of other events and either try to spread them out over the year, or synchronise for a win - win outcome.

“As the Association is a charity, we’re sorry but we are unable to fund this (other than provide the venue), and I would therefore ask you to contribute by bringing a bottle and some ‘nibbles’ to make the evening go with a swing!”

If you are coming to the gathering please contact the Centre's office to let them know how many from your group are going.

The ‘What’s On’ calendar is open for all to use. Below the calendar is a link to an upload form to submit events.

Groups can also be given the relevant passwords to enter events directly onto the Google Calendar.

There is also the facility to ‘embed’ the Google calendar into any other village website.

The gathering will be at the Community Centre in the Barleycorn Lounge from 7pm-9pm.
