| Quote: | The town hall can be available for this and other community projects. CAIAC can apply for a grant from the council for the hire of the town hall. This of course has to be actioned in advance.
Other groups apply and are granted awards of money or services and what better communuity project than the lantern parade.
Those applying do have to provide basic information about their organisation, such as their constitution and copies of their audited accounts. |
I'm not sure what your point is here.
CAIAC has organised and planned this in the way that they have for good reasons. How it is achieved is of very little relevance. The overiding point is that the town and the people get the lantern parade at zero cost to the participants and much to the enjoyment of ALL.
Hope to see you on the 8th of October.

My understanding, from what I read about it last year, was that the Town Council was losing paying bookings by reserving space for the Lanterns. As any monies received from these bookings would be basically be used to benefit the town, it's just a judgement call on what you think's best for the town.
I think it's a bit unfair to label them as unhelpful, maybe you could argue that they should reprioritise things differently though. |

I was just explaining that the Town Hall is still available for use by community organisation free of charge. There is a strict procedure which applicants need to adher to.
The council in my experience are more than willing to help any organisation where possible. |

Thank you for that. I'm sure it will be considered the next time CAIAC needs accomodation of that sort. |

| I am sure that there are people within CAIAC who are well aware of the availability of the town hall, if there are not then they should be! |

Chepfer unless the County Council have recently transfered the ownership of the Grove to Calne Town Council I fear you may be wrong in your comment.
The Town Council some 2 years ago considered running the Grove after the County Council announced they were to close it. After carrying out a feasibility study (completed by Mark Wilkinson and very good it was) the Town Council refused to take it on.
Low and behold using the councils idea's the County Council decided not to shut it.
I am not aware of any change in that position, but I may be wrong. |

is it Friday 28th?
Or Saturday 29th?
A leaflet we got from primary school (Mums the Word) says Friday 28th.
THis post says 29th.
THere is nothing on calne.org.uk
Please let people know ASAP, as there is a lot of local confusion.
