This is an exciting time for the Village, on the verge of having a MUGA on the field and allowing the community access to the School after hours for activities such as Zumba.

We’d like you to be part of shaping our Village for the future so why not join the CHCA?

All we ask is 2 hours of your time for a meeting once a month plus helping organise a couple of events a year such as the Fun Day and Xmas parade. We’re an easy going bunch who want to be involved in the way the Village develops in the future.

If you are interested please contact us through the website or via an existing member.

We have now received an agreement in principle for us to lease part of the field for a MUGA.

The next stage is for us to organise a village meeting to approve spending the £100K on the MUGA.

The proposed date is Wednesday the 18th of May at 7.30pm.

Please come along to support what will be a fantastic facility for the Village and School.

Bring a lantern for the annual parade around the village. Have a photo taken with Santa and eat a mince pie whilst listening to the school choir sing. From 6pm in the school.

The £100K sub-committee was charged with looking at the feasibility of the two lead projects in the 2010 questionnaire, namely a Multi-use games area (MUGA) on the field and a small extension to the school.

After much work, the Council and School have decided to retain as much of the school yard as possible for future needs. Thus making the community extension not feasible. With much disappointment this news was discussed in the meeting with Council members and the new Headmistress Mrs Davies.

Margam Village Sports presented a case for developing a sports community centre on the field. The cost for a suitable demountable being £138,000. But this does not include the costs for the base, car parking and an access road. Therefore the costs may well be in excess of £250K, but we would not be able to find the true costs without expensive professional surveying fees which would eat away at the £100K. It was also recognised that the village had voted in favour of us assessing the feasibility of a MUGA and that a community centre came third in the questionnaire. and was not strictly part of our brief.

A full discussion took place regarding the pros and cons of the community sports centre versus the MUGA , and although the centre would be an asset to the village , the ability to raise sufficient funds either directly or via grant-aid was thought to be non-achievable. It was felt that the provision of the MUGA was much more deliverable and that this may give the village the impetus for future projects. A vote was taken on the alternatives with 5 in favour of the MUGA and 1 in favour of the sports communit centre, 1 abstention.

Therefore the plan is to push forward trying to get an agreement in principle to lease part of the field for the MUGA. Once this is in place then we can actively seek Grant funding and obtain costs for the development. Once obtained we will be in a position to get final agreement from the village.
