Created to raise funds for The Big New Hut, Aldbourne’s proposed new Scout and Guide hut (part of ARC – Aldbourne Recreation Centre – Registered charity number 1161160), Curry Club nights feature a delicious set menu that will change each month and consists of a starter, a main course, a rice dish and side dish for £15 per person of which £5 goes directly to The Big New Hut.

All reservations must be made via Eventbrite with payment IN CASH on the night to the organiser.
All drinks and additional items must be ordered on the night by the individual and the bill settled directly with The Burj.

This event is limited to 60 places.

Palmers Field Update

Palmers Field was donated to the Parish Council some 12 years ago and is located at the Southern edge of the village. It currently hosts a Zip wire, BMX track, cricket nets and rugby field.

A charity, ARC (Aldbourne Recreation & Sports Centre, Charity No. 1161160) has been formed specifically to consider how best to expand the facilities at Palmer’s Field for the benefit of people of all ages and abilities within the village, and to obtain the necessary funds and grants to allow this to take place. The Trustees are all drawn from within the village, and bring a wide range of perspectives and skills to the task. We are delighted to report that the Parish Council has now received planning permission to provide track access construction to Palmers Field, as a first stage in this process.
It is further proposed to create a sports pavilion to support sports in general and in particular the Aldbourne Football Club. Future facilities that have been discussed for some time include a dedicated rehearsal room for the Aldbourne Band and The Big New Hut for our burgeoning number of Scouts and Guides. Other general use facilities that have been discussed include a Fitness Trail, Parkour Course and others.

The ARC Trustees would like to thank all those who have attended open meetings and submitted their considerations during the access track planning application. We must also thank the Parish Council for their support in submitting the track planning application from plans drawn up by ARC. Now, however, the real work begins: members of specific ARC workgroups and ‘Friends of ARC’ are coming forward as we speak, in the full knowledge that there is a considerable amount to be done.
ARC’s first AGM will be held on Saturday 2nd July 2016 at the Memorial Hall at 10am. All are welcome; details of various proposals will be available for comment after the formal business. The ARC Trustees are committed to listening to as many people as possible, in order to drive these developments in the best interests of the village as a whole; please do come along and provide us with your input (and offers of help!) on something that has the potential to be of major benefit to us all.
