About Us
“By the community, for the community”
Party on Potton is a not-for-profit community group which is run by a committee of people from within the local community, supported by local volunteers. Every other year we run the Big Weekend, a 4-night, 3-day event for the local community and the surrounding area. Our guiding principles are:
Support the community
We look for opportunities to showcase and support local businesses and organisations wherever possible, whether that be through purchasing their supplies for our bars and BBQs, providing them with a platform at The Big Weekend to market themselves or by providing a bar and/or BBQ service at their events wherever possible. We also make donations to local charitable causes, particularly following the conclusion of The Big Weekend.
Be accessible
An important principle in the planning of the Big Weekend is that daytime activities are free for everyone. Whilst evening events will require the purchase of tickets, this approach means that each and every family can come down during the day and take part in the fun within their community, without worrying about the cost.
Financially sustainable
Whilst we donate to local causes following the Big Weekend, we will also aim to keep a cash balance to pass over to the next committee that helps to ensure that Party On Potton is in a strong position to bring about the next Big Weekend.
Meet the committee
The 2024 Committee is: Richard West (Chair), Sam Dawson (Vice Chair), Helen Leach (Treasurer), James Kemp (Secretary), Kathryn Bate, Steve Bate, Ian Pryer, David Gwilliam, Vicki Gwilliam, Ram Malocca, Roger Kemp, Kirsti Johns.
