The Village Playing Fields Association has been around since 1974.

Set up to provide leisure facilities for members of the Caerwent community which included Crick, and St Brides Netherwent, there are extensive references to activities and fund raising events contained within the historic documents in the Community Archives on the Caerwent website (www.caerwentcom.com)

One facility that was started back in 1974 and is still running today is the Community Newsletter. This monthly publication is distributed throughout the community area by a team of volunteers and continues to be done today.

It was also in 1974 that the village first had a Christmas tree at the roman wall, a tradition that also continues today.

Unlike in the early days when the committee was run by the committee who’s decisions were implemented, modern day demands and culture have made it necessary for the committee to be run as a limited company(company limited by guarantee) which protects those individuals on the committee from facing personal liability in the event of claims or actions relating to issues that may arise. There is a full constitution which requires account to be kept and guidelines on how decisions are made by the committee.
