| Well Done Oving! | |

The scarecrows on display for this
year’s Scarecrow Festival were better and more numerous than ever,
with many households building for the first time, so thank you to
everyone who made the day so special. Our judge, Rosemary Moon,
struggled to reach her decisions, awarding many commendations and
mentioning many more in her deliberations. However, decide she did
on the winners this year so the Goodwood Cup was carried off
gleefully by The Girl Guides, the Hague Trophy was picked up by the
Hanton family and the Woodhorn Trophy went to a second time winner,
Alan Smith. Alan has now won two of the three trophies and rumour
has it he is setting up an organisation to try and make it the full
set next year! We had quite an extensive programme this year and more visitors than ever, so our reputation is clearly spreading. One comment we had, “Scarecrow Day puts Oving on the map for all the right reasons” sums up, I think, the success you have made of it. Already plans for next year’s event are beginning to emerge and, as ever, we would welcome any offers of help. The more we add to the programme the more help we need. You should have had a Feedback Form about the festival delivered through your door in the last week. It would be very helpful indeed if you could fill it in as it will help mould the programme to how you would like to see this festival develop. It is your festival, so do, please have your say. Oh, and that date for your diaries – Saturday 14 May 2011. Anne Jenkins |
