From the (tireless working) Ladies of The Light
In the last few months the CBA committee has been working hard - mostly in the background, however we are sure you have noticed some busy activity in (and around) Charing's busy High Street. Where other villages seem to struggle to attract visitors, new villagers and shoppers, Charing is definitely going forward.
First of all, coming into Charing from the roundabout everyone is welcomed with our charming banner:
Charming Charing, where there is always something going on
Secondly, all CBA members (17 businesses and growing) can now be recognised by the window badge proudly stating CBA's cath-phrase: committed to the community.
Thirdly: the Charing website has a constantly growing number of readers (from in and outside the village, some even as far as France!) who want to be kept up to date on everything that is going on in the liveliest village in Kent- from activities from local organisations to interesting offers from CBA members.
The committee itself has gone through some (minor) changes, roles and responsibilities are now defined (you can download the list of contact details of the committee here - includes R&R's), becoming strong and effective. Every month there is a committee meeting to discuss/celebrate plans realised, plans in progress and future plans. You might not notice the immediate effect, but rest assured it is definitely putting Charing "on the map" in the most positive way.
Plans afoot:
