The Town Clerk, Pauline Cant said “Chilton is well know for its strong sense of patriotism and its recognition of the work of our armed forces, past and present, the Town Council are delighted to be working with the Community to ensure the anniversary is properly commemorated. Our intention is that we will be commemorating the event, in line with the national programme of events as set out by the national Pageant Master on the website www.veday75.org With our own Chilton style we will shortly be launching our competition for a junior and adult Town crier to help us commemorate the event. The next meeting of the VE Day Working group will take place at Chilton Community Sports and Social Club on Thursday 13th February at 6pm and all are welcome to attend and get involved in Chilton’s VE Day weekend celebrations”.
