The Scarecrow Festival<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon the 21st of September brought crowds of people to view the different \u201cscarecrows\u201d sited in the churchyard, and to judge between one and another was a very difficult job. The cleverness and ingenuity in putting together a \u201cScarecrow\u201d with a theme really tests the imagination and the results were, without doubt, a triumph. In addition to \u201cScarecrows\u201d were the other attractions. Seeing Vicar Jon in the stocks being pelted with wet sponges; he was so brave and so wet. The \u201cTeddy Bear\u201d parachute jumps from the top of the tower, ably assisted aloft by Jude Billingham and again Vicar Jon as ground staff was a highlight of the afternoon, and there were many Oohs and Aahs especially when they got stuck on the electricity cables, but there were many successful landings and no teddy bear came to any harm.<\/p>\n

Once again the Social committee ladies served the coffee\/teas with the most delicious homemade cakes rounding off a truly lovely afternoon when the parish came together to enjoy a moment of fellowship.<\/p>\n
