This area will eventually develop into the home of the pages which will document Filby's progress towards building and using our new community centre.

Our initial efforts to win lottery funding were unsuccessful nevertheless we have decided to press ahead and continue to raise money for this project.

Filby currently has two locations where meetings and events can take place:

  • The Clubroom, Main Road
  • The Church Hall, Church Lane

The Clubroom, an interesting building in its own right, was given to the village as a meeting place but is too small to accommodate events which attract a lot of people over a short period of time. The Clubroom will be an integral part of the new village hall and continue to be a key part of village activity.

You can go to Clubroom to see more.

The Church Hall, built in the 1930s, is large enough for many events the village may wish to put on. It has a stage and provides a flexible space for a wide variety of uses. It is, however, at a time in its existance where it needs a great deal of money spending on it if it is to have continued use into the future.

There is more on >Church Hall.

Filby Calendar 2010

Our 2010 calendar, continuing the "Filby Then & Now" theme, was launched as part of the Filby Playing Field, Bank Holiday Fun Weekend at the 'Local Roots' Exhibition in the Clubroom with profits again going to the new community centre fund.

Calendars are still on sale at Filby Post Office and via this website by sending an email to the address below.

The price has been held at £7.00. Any post and packing is extra.

There are still a few 2009 calendars available via this website.

Oh My! Ideas for the 2011 calendar are already being put together and we have started taking, and arranging to take, the 'now' pictures for it.

Voices from the Past

New for 2010

On 20th October 2009, we started publishing a weekly "Filby News" bulletin on the Village Voice page.

Then we got to wondering what our forebears considered worthy of record and what they were doing one hundred and twenty years ago. This page is the result. From in January 2010 we are publishing, month by month, the Victorian equivalent of Village Voice starting with January 1890.

Our Church

More about All Saints, Filby.

Church Hall

Built in the 1930s, now requires substantial refurbishment.

The future of this building is uncertain and fund raising for a new community centre, to be sited on the Playing Field, is progressing despite our application for Lottery funding being rejected.

Clubroom

This building is a bit special as it is one of the last two 'clay lump' structures in the village.
