St. Filica Society
The St Filica Society aims to bring people together who share an interest in the well being of the local community. St Filica raises funds to support local causes, organizes events and produces an annual business calendar, as well as a monthly newsletter giving details of events and current village news.
The St Filica Society was formed 22 years ago. Its aim is to “have fun” by organizing events in the village. St Filica is a society and as such anyone can become a member. Membership is currently £2 per year. All the surplus money raised during the year is distributed to village organizations and goes towards projects they may be working towards. Membership entitles you to vote at our AGM in February on where and how much money is distributed to each bid.
Some of the events we organise are the Filkins Feast, pig roast and entertainment, The Street Party with live music & BBQ in the road outside the village hall and Filkins Summer Ball which is a black tie event for 120 people. At Christmas we put up a Tree on the corner of the Churchyard at St Peters which is lit up every evening in December. The lighting up ceremony follows a tour of the village by Father Christmas who gives a little present to all the children waiting at his stops. Every two years we also host the Filkins Festival which involves all the clubs in the village organising an event usually held in July.
We distribute a monthly newsletter, giving details of events and village news, and a calendar both of which are delivered free to each household. The village website is also paid for by St Filica which tells you everything that is going on and a little local history as well.
St Filica is run by a small committee. If you would like to join us, please give any of the committee a ring and have a chat.
