Charfield Primary school needs new governors. Can you help?

Our governance committee is made up of people from various stakeholder groups.  We have plenty of parents and staff willing to fill the roles, but what we really need are people from the wider community.  People who live relatively locally (ie within about 15 miles) and who do not have children at the school.

The main role of the governance committee is to help to raise the standards and performance of the school.  We do this by both supporting and challenging the Headteacher to do what is best for the children.

Looking for a way to keep fit through the winter?

Love rugby but want to play a non-contact form of the game?

Touch Rugby is a fantastic sport for keeping fit and allows men & women of all abilities to take to the field together.

You don't have to have had any rugby experience at all to play. It's also great fun!

From 1st October we will play on a Monday night from 7pm until 8pm at KLB in the 3G pitch. Cost is £3 per session.

Please text 07970853871 if you're interested and we'll put you on the list for session updates.

Old ITV programme about the Charfield Railway Crash 1928

Locals sharing memories at the Railway Tavern Pub in Charfield. People interviewed: Mrs Hazel, then "Jibby' Jones, then Reginald Pagett.

Thanks to Graham Tyndall for sharing this with us.

"It was broadcast on ITV many years ago and they kindly sent me a video of the program.
My father is in the video talking about the lady in black and the children's shoes. He worked on the railway in Charfield as a Ganger and we lived in a cottage just below the Plough Inn.
When the cottages were demolished we moved to Charfield Green on the corner right next to the railway line."

More information about the disaster.
