The Llangwm Festival
Saturday 1st May - 1.00pm - 4.00pm
Your Festival Committee has decided that there will not be a full blown festival this year, but instead there will be a special event that encapsulates the best of previous Festivals into one day:
So come along to Pill Parks Field for a special village
event with the crowning of the carnival king & queen, cream teas, bottle stall, games, bouncy castle, and this year's very special Scarecrow competition with a difference...
That's right, this year's Scarecrow competition is a fancy dress one. So don't plonk something in your garden. No, this time come along and give your impression of Wurzel Gummidge. There will be cash prizes for the best adult and best child Scarecrow.
Then on Saturday night there will be live music and a barbeque at The Cottage Inn from 7.30pm.
YOUR VILLAGE NEEDS YOU!
A big thanks to Claire Phillips who is standing down from the Festival Committee and who over the years has done so much for the village festival. Thanks as well to Pam Hunt who is also standing down as Chair so that she can finish her book, "Miss Daisy's Diaries". And an enormous Welcome to Maddie Rees who has come on board, bringing along with Hollie Bosenius some fresh blood and young ideas to the committee.
However, this Carnival day might well be the last community event that the Festival Committee is able to put on. For over a year, we have been looking for new volunteers who might wish to contribute to the community life of this village. But time and time again we have come up against apathy.
As a result the current depleted committee feels unable to organise any more events after this one. Perhaps the village has outlived its carnival kings and queens, its scarecrows and its Father Christmas event and maybe the time has come to call a halt.
Well, that decision is now in everyone's hands. Don't sit back and complain when nothing happens in the village, come forwards now, make contact and put your name forward to join us.
The Committee meets once a month at The Cottage Inn to organise all the events throughout the year. If you feel that you can contribute, come along and make new friends. It's great fun.
