The Revels Committee have met for the first time for planning the event for Sunday 20 May 2012, and are hoping to repeat the success of 2011, although the weather then was very helpful! The success meant that grants totalling almost £2,000 were given to four village facilities, the Youth Club, The Lunch Club, Fernhurst Films and the Fernhurst Centre.

Based as always around the crowning of the May Queen with the associated killing of the Dragon by St George and May Pole Dancing, there is so much more. The Procession from Nappers Wood to the recreation ground where it all takes place; The fancy dress competition theme for young, adult and those pushing , pulling or riding wheels is the all encompassing 'Pantomime Characters' so we hope lots of people will take part. . The band, the bar and the Birds of Prey have all been booked; it is hoped to enlarge both the Silent Auction and the Tombola and keep the cake stall as one of the brilliant money spinners thanks to all those who have contributed to it.

There will also be other arena attractions as well as the fun Dog Show, Vintage Car Show with its own mini competition, hot food, cold food, teas, the children's races and games and the many stalls run both for and by village clubs and facilities as well as by people from far and wide.

But all this needs help, be it giving or collecting tombola prizes, helping with parking, making cakes or helping to run one of the many Revels' stall for an hour or so on the day, so if you can, let us know. If you would like to stand for the May Queen, let us know, although letters will go out and posters be put up early next year as a reminder! If you want to have a stall, let us know.

So if you want to be involved with the biggest event in the village in 2012 on Sunday May 20, please contact 01428 653790 or email jtandjt@btinternet.com <mailto:jtandjt@btinternet.com> and let us know!
