Taplow Village Green Party
The Society organised the Taplow Village Green Party for the 20th successive year. It took place this year on Saturday 18 June, a beautiful summer evening. It continues to be a popular local event, one of the very few opportunities for the whole community to participate in a social occasion. This year, over 370 tickets were sold for ox roast or BBQ food, but at least 450 people attended to enjoy Mike Sanderson and his musicians and generally socialise.
It’s easy to forget that a great deal of effort goes into running the event and that the ticket price has to cover all costs including the band, insurance and first-aid provision, not just the cost of the food. The Society is happy to continue running it as a contribution to the community, but it is dependent on the support of those attending.
The Taplow Branch of the Women’s Institute was appreciative of the opportunity to organise the raffle at this year’s party, and it raised a total of over £1,100, £700 of which was contributed during the evening. The proceeds will provide a much-needed sum towards updating their premises in Institute Road, which are widely used by the local community.
Many thanks are due to the hard-working volunteers who helped to make the evening so enjoyable. The Society would welcome views on the event: for example, should we continue with the same band, or is it time for a change? Let us know what you think by posting your comments on our website, www.taplowsociety.org.uk, or write to the Chairman, Anne Hanford, 1 Saxon Gardens, Taplow, SL6 0DD. We look forward to hearing from you. See you again next year!
