Filkins Race Night
Saturday 9th May saw the spring race meeting held in Filkins Village Hall. Whilst the turn-out was lower than had been expected, it was an enjoyable evening swept along by Richard Martin’s commentary. With the going given as “good to firm”, the meeting commenced with three flat races.

The Colvin & Moggeridge Maiden Chase
1st Mighty Mushroom; 2nd Late Arrival; 3rd Running Bear

Our Village Shop Open
1st Fairy Cookie; 2nd Hanky Panky; 3rd Awkward Squad

The Ernest Cook Prize Chase
1st Empty Pocket; 2nd Bearded Dragon; 3rd Choo Choo

After a break for supper and an inspection of the track, the second half of the meeting was turned over to jump racing.

The Cotswold Woollen Weavers Steeple Chase
1st Old Mill; 2nd Working Longer; 3rd Big Shot

The Morley Harps Handicap Hurdles
1st Hampton Court; 2nd Hugh Jampton; 3rd Unexpected Windfall

The Five Alls Stakes
1st Dave The Rave; 2nd Saddle Sore; 3rd Falling Majority

The Village Hall Committee would like to thank St Filica for their assistance in organising
the evening, the race sponsors and all those who bought the ‘horses’.
Lastly a big thank you to everyone who helped to prepare and run the evening and the Filkins race going public including those who couldn't be there but bought horses anyway, for making the evening such a success. In excess of £900 was raised towards the Village Hall refurbishment.

A Little bit of History

Amelia

Filkins Village Hall, known formally as the Carter Institute after its founder and benefactor, Mrs Amelia Carter, is a thriving and popular venue for village and private functions, parties and shows.

It was originally built in 1912 as a temperance establishment, but the rules have since been relaxed a little !  Facilities include the main hall, with modern portable staging, a kitchen and bar area, green room, cloakrooms and a smaller meeting room upstairs.

There is limited car parking at the rear of the Hall.

The Institute is managed by a Committee made up of elected members and representatives of all the principal organisations in Filkins and Broughton Poggs which make regular use of the Hall.

The Hall is equipped with state-of-the-art cinema, video and audio facilities.
