Community Coming Together
Nothing to watch on TV, wondering what to do on the second Wednesday of the month, why not come along to Kilmington Community Cinema. The following is observation from one of our audiences, re-produced with his approval. What made it special for us was to see your community come together and enjoy in one another’s company, not just the film. I identified several factors that seemed to help gel your community tonight: a venue at the hub of the village, a warm personal and friendly welcome at the door, time before and after the film for people to mingle and socialise; an interval where people could enjoy refreshments. Events like the one you staged this evening mitigates against loneliness, they remind people of the positive things people can enjoy together, and it was all so unpretentious.

The Kilmington Community Association (KCG) is a group of Kilmington residents, who are regularly involved in organising social events for the village, including The Kilmington Village Show. They have successfully generated some funds through these activities, and they want this money to be reinvested in the village to support our clubs and encourage more social events. A management structure and a constitution has been conceived to ensure that the association operates fairly on behalf of the whole community. Details are published here.
If you run an existing village club that needs new equipment or, you want to start a new group or hold a social or educational event that will benefit Kilmington residents, you can now apply to the association for small grants using this Grant Application Form. Clear requirements and terms for offering grant funding have also been established.
Additionally, the association plan to organise other social events for residents through the year. If you have an idea for an event let us know. Some events will offer complimentary benefits, some will be self-funding and, if they return a profit, this will be added to the fund. We also hope to grow the number of volunteers willing to lend a hand with future events so we can maintain our lively village community.

We would like to hear from anyone who is interested in being involved on stage as this helps in selecting a pantomime that fits the sort of cast number we potentially have. We are also keen to hear from anyone happy to help behind the scenes in some way e.g. stage crew, light and sound, costumes, scenery etc. I am particularly keen to hear from anyone interested in doing the light and sound this year, so if you think you would like to help us please get in touch and I can give you more information.
Further details about the pantomime and dates for casting and start of rehearsals will be in the next issue of Postscript. Make this year the year you get involved, it really is a lot of fun! Please contact Louise Quincey on 01297 32358. |

The Duke of Edinburgh awards have been running in Kilmington for over twenty years! It was started by Richard Cotter, youth leader, at the Baptist Church and is now based at St Giles Church hence the name Five Alive. We have about forty young people at various stages of the award.
There are three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Four sections are completed at each level and five sections at Gold level. The extra section is the Residential, which involves being away for five days on a residential activity. Some of our young people have been on Tall Ships, helping projects abroad, CCF camps, charity activities, photographic courses and sailing courses.
The four sections are Sport, Skill, Volunteering and Expedition, two days Bronze, three days Silver and four days Gold. The expedition can be walking, cycling, canoeing and horse riding. We often go to Dartmoor or the Brecon Beacons for our Gold expeditions. Some of our young people have been to Kenya and the Picos, Northern Spain for their Gold expeditions.
We meet regularly. For more information or if you are interested in joining please contact Adam Taylor on 07944 412975 or at [email protected]
