The Life and Times of Chadlington Village, Oxfordshire.
We thought it would be fun to bring you some occasional news from Chadlington.
Why Chadlington? Well, it is where Avalon Software (UK) Ltd. has been based for many years. It is a typical small village high on the Cotswolds and not known to many who are not from the area. The village is home to approximately 900 people and is a classic Oxfordshire linear configuration, originally formed around three local farms. Over the years the village and the surrounding area has been the home for many “famous” people, from much loved comedians to ex-prime ministers
All that changed a few years ago when a well know TV and Media personality took up farming on the edge of the village and went on to produce a series of television programmes featuring life on his farm. Now the village has international fame thanks to the TV Farm with huge numbers of visitors coming to this once tranquil village.
Central to village life is the Chadlington Memorial Hall. They use the Avalon Software Cloud Hosted Bookings Manager system to manage their hall bookings and all of this is run by Avalon Software Ltd Director, Julian Horsey.
As with many such halls the majority of the bookings consist of regular keep fit group (Pilate’s and Yoga), Youth groups and Parish council meetings. In addition the Hall was the site of the recent very successful 20th Village Beer festival organised to raise funds for the village primary school and a production of the play “The Inspector Calls” performed by the local amateur dramatic group.
Avalon Bookings Manager online enables the activities that take place at the Memorial Hall to be shown on the village website in real time

Not only that, it also enables the Booking Secretary, Treasurer and other Committee Members instant access to the bookings and invoices, without the need for all to be together in the same location. It also loads of emails and bits of paper flying around the village.
Over the years that Avalon Software has been in business we have learnt all about the trials and tribulations of running community halls of all types and the Avalon Bookings Manager programs helps many keep on top of their entire bookings process.
For those who require the flexibility of running an internet based system, the Avalon Bookings Manager On-Line is the answer.
