YCC - Youth Council of Chepstow

 Our Mission: 

 “To provide a forum that will enable the opinions of young people in Chepstow to be heard and make a difference and to encourage their active involvement as respected members of the community in decision making”. 

 


YCC was set up in 2010 is run by 11 elected 15-20 year olds. We meet monthly in the council chambers and identify projects to benefit Chepstow. Our projects are based on three aims that were agreed in September 2010.

 
Aims for 2010/2011:- 

  1. To organise a social event bringing together students from the two comprehensive schools.
  2. To seek to improve pedestrian safety on the footbridge across the A48.
  3. To seek to make venues more affordable and accessible for performance groups.

Battle of the Bands 
On Saturday 29th January, YCC hosted a battle of the bands competition for bands and solo acts aged 14-20 at the Chepstow rugby club. This event attracted a diverse mix of acts, from the punk rock band Amateur Drive By to the acoustic rock band Patchmo.  

It was great for YCC to be able to celebrate the talent of young people. The competition provided a gig for local artists to promote their music and the winning band and soloist received a day in recording studio. It was clear that everyone who took part had pride in their music and the positive atmosphere was echoed amongst the 200 people who turned up in support!

After all the acts were seen YCC voted on the two winners. The best band award was given to The Scary Door. A fantastic 5-piece 'rock band' consisting of Drums, Guitar, Bass, Keys, Sax and Vocals. The best solo artist award was given to Tom Davis.
