Best Kept Village Competition
The Parish Council is pleased to announce their intention to enter the Best Kept Village Competition. You may recall that the Council withdrew from the competition last year because of the flooding and ongoing pollution. This year the groundwater appears to be receding and this has helped the Council to make this decision. The competition runs from 1 st June to 14 July and the judges may visit the village at any time during this period.
The competition is judged on several criteria:
1. Cemetery, graveyard
2. Green, playing field, children’s play area, outdoor recreation facilities, designated nature conservation area
3. Floral Displays (hanging baskets, tubs, planters, flower beds etc.)
4. Community facilities (Village Hall, Community Centre, Church Hall)
5. General environmental features (hedges, verges, ditches, pond, stream, pump etc.)
6. Shops and pubs
7. Bus stops, bus shelters, public seating, dog bins, notice boards, information signs
8. War memorial
9. Quality of Competition entry - up to date and detailed map with features highlighted
10. Evidence of community engagement
If you would like to help Chalfont St Giles Village win the Pushman Cup in 2025, you can join in the village clean up which will be held on Saturday 24 May, starting on the village green at 10am.
If you have ideas or suggestions about how to improve the village then please email clerk@chalfontstgiles-pc.gov.uk

Establishing an Orchard in Chalfont St Giles - Continued
There has been no reply to my question about this Orchard going ahead.
I think it should be a Community project. I am just reading an article from the Langford Community Orchard.. Apparently they are being supported by Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. There are plenty of places around the village where an Orchard could be established. I was told that Chalfont St Peter has a Community Orchard so who is stopping one from going ahead in Chalfont St Giles

If anyone can comment on this I'll pass on the info.

Seeking Entertainment
Simple amateur entertainment sought for 12 July 2025 garden lunch party… many of the 120 guests are our age, in their 60s and 70s so nothing too MODERN, please!!! The entertainer would work table to table or wandering around among the guests when not seated, not performing from a stage.
Juggler, stilt walker, comedian, clown, conjurer, card-sharp, mind-reader, mentalist… it does not matter if the tricks don’t work every time if that is part of the charm.
Accordionist, chanteur, oyster-man or -woman, pop-up coffee shop or van.
What we have already: barber-shop singing (unaccompanied) and possibly a race simulator. We do not want to work through an agency and pay £600 when we can give a break to a beginner who appreciates £150 or so for an hour or less and who is local so for whom there are negligible travel expenses. A competitor in TV’s putative “South Bucks’ Got Talent!
Open to ideas. Thanks!
