| '''Saturday 1 July 2023''' The theme for year’s scarecrow competition will be Royalty which is a very wide brief so let your imagination run wild from King Canute to Queen Nefertiti or maybe the King of the Jungle. Be creative in any way you feel inspired to be, there are prizes to be won! Scarecrows are to be erected by '''Friday 30 June'''. Judging will be carried out by the same independent judge as last year and will take place on Saturday 1 July. As we did last year, prizes will be awarded the following weekend at the Allotment Picnic See below. ----- '''ALLOTMENT PICNIC''' '''Sunday 9 July 2023 from 2.00pm''' Just turn up at the Community Plot by the middle path with your own picnic and enjoy a well deserved restful afternoon chatting with fellow plot holders and members. A chance to look at the scarecrows and see which ones win the prizes. |
