Defibrillator Fundraiser – September 2021

22nd September 2021 /

Many thanks to all those who participated in Saturday’s fundraising event and to all those who supported it with their donations. We were blessed with great weather on Saturday and the walk, which was kindly lead by Jonathan Hull, was enjoyed by everyone while the run was successfully completed, but possibly rather less enjoyed by some of those on it! We made it though and the picnic on the Rec proved to be a welcome celebration.

Thanks to all your generosity we have raised enough funds to obtain a defibrillator for the village hall and to run training, or re-training courses for those who did it 6 years ago, for anyone interested. We hope to get the equipment installed in the next couple of months and to start training classes at about the same time.

Please get in touch with the Parish Council Clerk if you would be interested in attending training. Email parishcouncil@boxford.org.uk

Thank you from the Boxford Masques

12th August 2021 /
What an incredible week it was at Bellerophon: The 2021 Boxford Masques.
We are so incredibly grateful to all the people who volunteered, helped out, chaperoned, lent us equipment time and energy and to the excited and cheering audiences!
It was undoubtedly not only a brilliant achievement through these pandemic ravaged times but the most community centred show we have ever done.  Almost every aspect of the production was created by local people; direction, choreography, sound, lighting, costume, the list is endless.
We could not have done it without you and from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU!

Boxford Masques Update

10th May 2021 /

We are absolutely delighted to tell you that the Boxford Masques is going ahead this summer!

Following our recent AGM and Organising Committee meeting we decided that subject to the continued easing of lockdown we can put on a truly great show for everyone end of July this year. We believe we can make this a true community effort, with wide support and participation from all over our area; at a time when, let’s face it, we all want to get out again and have some fun!

We have a play ready, a huge tent to shelter us, the Boxford Rec booked and local council support…..but there are still a few things we need help with to better manage budgets:

Equipment: Local bands The Migz and The Station are generously loaning us sound equipment but we still need more microphones, particularly radio and rifle mics. We also need Par Cans and other types of lighting, plus a couple of generators.

Volunteers: We need help with front of house, chaperoning and costume making. We also need people to direct in the car park and to sell programmes,

Musical: We have a band and if you have any particular instrumental skills which can add something, please step up.
If you can help or know someone who can, please let us know; all help, no matter how small, is so important to us.

Email info@boxfordmasques.org.uk if you would like further information

After the year we have all had, we really hope to make this show, on our 21st birthday, a stunning community celebration of joy, fun and life!
Showtime! 28th July – 1st August 2021 Our 21st Birthday!
