Whether you are a resident of Great Waltham, thinking of visiting or looking for a nice place to live, we hope you find something of interest and value here.
The Parish of Great Waltham is one of the largest in Essex in area,  covering approximately 2,488 hectares (6,147 acres), but with only 2,100 residents is not densely populated.  It consists of two villages - Great Waltham (also known as Church End), and Ford End, and four hamlets –  Howe Street, Littley Green, North End and Broads Green.  The parish is approximately 5km north to south, 3km west to east and at its most southerly is 7km from Chelmsford.
  
The major activity is agriculture although it employs very few people these days.  The majority of local workers commute to towns up to 40 miles away and to London.  The M11, the A12, the A130, the A131, the A120, Stansted Airport and Chelmsford station are not far away.

Great Waltham Parish Council

25th January 2010

To all Parish Organisations                                                                         

Dear Organisation Member,

PARISH OPEN DAY

You may recall that for the past two years the Parish Council facilitated a Parish Open Day and many organisations attended with a stall/exhibition to show their work over the year and/or to encourage members of the community to become involved in social interaction by joining a club or supporting an organisation.  The event was acclaimed as a great success and several expressions of interest were received requesting that a similar event be held this year.

The Parish Council has booked Great Waltham Village Hall on Saturday 20th March 2010.  The proposed programme will be that the hall will open at 12 Noon for organisations to set up their exhibitions/stalls. The event will open to the public at 1pm and close at 4pm.

This is an opportunity for all organisations to show what they have to offer to parishioners and to encourage interaction between all of the organisations in the Parish.

This email and attachment is being circulated widely to members of all Parish Organisations and if you are not Chairman or Secretary or a committee representative of the organisation then please bring it to the attention of your committee.  If you belong to more than one organisation please ensure that they are all informed of the invitation. To arrange a space please contact Mike or Joanna Steel 01245 360918 or by email to Joanna.Steel@btinternet.com

It would be greatly appreciated if you could respond to the invitation to have a display at the event by 15th February 2010 so that the Parish Council can have some indication of the tables and space required.

The Parish Council is also arranging for publicity and a leaflet drop to every house in the Parish advertising the event so there should be a good attendance.

Yours sincerely,

Ian (Peter) Bradley

Clerk to Great Waltham Parish Council

Great Waltham, Essex CM3 1DH
