Two community projects have recently been awarded grants:
This project has been awarded a grant of £1,500.00 by Warwickshire County Council from the Community Development Fund. The Avon Dassett Fete Committee and the Open Gardens scheme have also agreed to make donations to the project. The steps are in very poor condition and are currently unsafe which means that the building cannot be used. This has led to the cancellation of village events. We are hoping to restore the steps in time for the for the carol service in 2012 at the latest but preferably in time for the Jubilee celebrations in the summer.
Councillors Diana Biddlestone and Daniel Robertson have agreed to set up a working party to deal with this project.
For more information please see the project webpages.
Avon Dassett Local History group have received a grant of £500 from Warwickshire County Council in order to write a local history of the village to be distributed to every householder in commemoration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The last local history of the village was written to commemorate her Silver Jubilee in 1977. In addition, the group are grateful for donations of £50 each from the Parish Council and the Fete Committee.
The local history group are currently busy transcribing sources as a basis for the book and a visit to Warwickshire County Records Office is planned. Two local schools have agreed to participate.
