Fixtures 2026
We're excited to share our fixtures for the 2026 season, continuing the proud traditions of our village team.

Corsley, Chapmanslade and Horningsham
Emergency Planning Training Event
Corsley Parish Council is organising a training event at Corsley Memorial Playing Fields for community volunteers from Corsley, Chapmanslade and Horningsham. Exact dates and timings will be confirmed nearer the time, but it is likely that it will take place from 4.30 to 7.30 pm on Wednesday 19th August. The event is intended to help strengthen local preparedness and resilience by bringing together volunteers with subject matter experts from a range of organisations, including the emergency services, flood resilience specialists, and utility providers such as SSEN and Wessex Water. The programme will cover a range of topics relevant to community emergency response, including:
- The hazards and risks facing our local communities
- The types of incidents and scenarios volunteers may be involved in supporting
- Personal safety and risk management
- Basic first aid and casualty care
- Emergency communications and coordination
- Equipment and resources available within our communities
- How volunteers can support vulnerable residents during emergencies.
The aim is to provide practical knowledge, build confidence, and strengthen links between local volunteers and the professional organisations that support our communities during incidents and emergencies. If you are interested in attending or would like to know more about the role of a Community Emergency Volunteer, please do get in touch with the Parish Council at: cpcmt65@gmail.com Refreshments will be available at the event (and afterwards!)
Please note that a Corsley Crisis and Preparedness WhatsApp Group has been set up comprising volunteers in all hamlets across the village of Corsley. By sharing information, coordinating volunteers, resources, and communication channels, the Group provides a structured, community-led capability that supports residents before, during, and after an incident. Membership of the group is open to all parishioners. To join, please contact cpcmt65@gmail.com
