Aston Abbotts Village Hall news – April 2016
Grant from Community Chest!
We’re delighted to say that we’ve been offered £14,000 from the Community Chest,
a grants scheme for community projects run jointly by AVDC and VAHT
(Vale of Aylesbury Housing Trust). This is payable when our major
funding application is confirmed (we’re hoping this will be end April).
The village hall trust’s annual general meeting – Tuesday 19 April, 8pm, Village Hall
The village hall trust’s AGM is on Tuesday 19 April. Janet
Blake, Council Member for Stewkley and Community Chest Grants Panel
Member, will be joining us as a funder representative. Village residents
are also very welcome. It will be a short meeting – chairman’s summary
of what we’ve done over the last year, the treasurer’s report, election
of officers (chair, treasurer, secretary) and 10 minutes for taking
questions from the public.
If you can’t make 19 April, we’ll also be attending the Annual Parish Meeting on 13 April, so come along then if you want to hear a quick update from us and other village groups.

Happy New Year from Aston Abbotts Postbox
The Aston Abbotts Postbox is now celebrating its first year of operation. During the past year we have distributed nearly 200 notices via email and we hope that you have found them informative and useful.
The Aston Abbotts Postbox distributes notices of interest to Aston Abbotts residents and friends via email. Posts are moderated, approved and checked for spam. Currently around 2-4 emails a week are distributed.
If you have any suggestions or comments on this service then please send them in to the postbox. Comments won't be sent out to subscribers, but they will be read by the Postbox team. A few tips for getting the most out of your postbox are below.
In the meantime, the Postbox team would like to wish you all a very Happy and Peaceful 2016.
Steve, Stuart and Phil
TIPS FOR USING THE POSTBOX
To join the postbox mail list please end an email asking to be joined to :
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of each posting.
Please send submissions to the correct address : postbox@aston-abbotts.co.uk. Emails sent to personal email addresses may get delayed or missed.
When responding to messages please make sure that you respond to the email address (or phone number) given in the message. Responding directly to the Postbox just causes us extra work and delays as we have to manually forward them on to the recipient.
We don't like to send out Word documents for fear of distributing viruses. Generally the only attachments we will forward are pictures and PDF files. We realise that not everybody can convert their Word files so we will endeavour to convert them as appropriate for you, but please bear in mind this might cause a delay as it is all a manual process.
Finally - check your junk/spam folder! At least one subscriber was missing many of our emails as his email program was incorrectly seeing some postbox messages as junk mail. You may need to add our server address - postbox@emaildodo.com - as 'good' in your email settings.
Thank you.

Village Fete 2015
A big thank you to all those who helped with this year's Fete; with raffle ticket sales and house-to-house collections, setting up on the day and manning the stalls. We could not have done it without you. The net proceeds of £3,000 will be split equally between The Chronicle, the Village Hall, the Recreation Ground and the Church as decided at the Annual Parish meeting earlier in the year.
We would welcome any comments on the way we run the Fete and any suggestions for improvement.
David Gray
Fete Coordinator & Treasurer
