Picnic on the Green

Picnic on the Green
The rain held off for our Picnic on the Green on 25th June (Isobel was right when she said "if we put up the gazebos it won't rain"!)
It was a great opportunity to celebrate bringing the Green into community ownership, catch up with one another and to get to know a few new faces in the Village.
Thankyou to all who attended and to the team who worked hard to rake the grass, dispose of the cuttings and set up on the day.
