Meanwhile, please mark this date on your calendar.
PS Don’t forget our family Harvest Festival on October 8th
We’re excited to invite you to our Family Harvest Festival at St Mary the Virgin Church on Sunday, October 8th.
The day will start with a quick service at 11:30 a.m., followed by a delicious picnic lunch of soup and ploughman’s fare. We’d be thrilled if you could contribute a small donation for this to help us raise funds for our beautiful church.
After lunch, we’ll have our famous Chilton Auction, where you can bid on various items like fresh fruit and veggies, homemade cakes and buns, jams and pickles, and beautiful flowers and plants. All the money raised from the auction will go towards the upkeep of our church, so bring your purses and wallets and let’s make a difference together!
If you have any items to donate for the auction, please bring them to Wall End on Saturday or straight to the service on Sunday.
Everyone is welcome to join us, including your dog!
So, mark your calendars and bring your family and friends along for a fun-filled day at St Mary the Virgin Church on Sunday, October 8th. Can’t wait to see you there!

Chilton is blessed with an abundance of apples, yet unfortunately, a significant portion of these apples end up going to waste. To tackle this issue, Philippa Green has devised a plan to transform the surplus apples into Chilton Apple Juice that will help in financing projects like our Community Green Space Project.
To participate in this project, register your interest, and we will quickly get in touch with you to gather the apples and transport them for juicing. The resultant juice will then be sold both online and at various village events, with all proceeds being utilised for the betterment of the village.
If you desire more information regarding this project, Philippa will be available at this week’s Chilton Social (Friday, 5:30 p.m., St Mary’s Church) and will be delighted to explain more.
So, if you’re willing and able to lend a hand, we would appreciate you registering for this exciting and worthwhile project.
Just wanted to remind you that this Friday, we have our exciting Chilton Social event at St. Mary’s Church. Get ready to indulge in some scrumptious cakes served by Liz and Anne, while Michael, Nick, Chelsea, and Tim will be grilling up some delicious bites on their BBQ.
Also, don’t forget to visit our cash bar manned by Gemma and Jason.
You can also have a chat with Philippa Green about a new plan to use excess apples in Chilton to produce our very own Chilton Apple Juice, and Nick Wasey will be there to talk about the Chilton Environment Group.
Join us at 5:30 pm on Friday, 15th September for a fun-filled evening. Don’t miss out on all the excitement!

The road defects in Chapel Lane were repaired in June after Duncan Parker registered all the potholes on Buckinghamshire Fix-My-Street, proving that the system does work.
Thank you to Duncan and all the other residents who have reported road defects and other street maintenance issues this year. Most have now been fixed, but there are plenty of faults to register! With a new Local Area Technician for Buckinghamshire Roads (who has visited Chilton and met with councillors) and a new roads maintenance contractor in Balfour Beatty, we are promised an improved level of service.
Issues will be prioritised if more people register a fault, so if you would like to see something fixed, don’t leave it to others to register the problem. Just go on to our website and visit www.chiltonpc.org.uk/fix-my-street (You’ll find it under Useful Numbers in the menu) and take five minutes to log the fault.
Also, please encourage neighbours to do the same.
