The Art Show at the end of May was a huge success, there were nearly 800 visitors over the three days. A huge thank you must go to all those who helped from the setting up through the event to the clearing away at the end, a team of 35 give their time freely and over £2,600.00 was raised for Community Council funds. Well Done Everyone!
The new Village Sign on Parsonage Green was officially unveiled on Friday 14th June there will be a report in next month Green Links. The Community Council was pleased to have been part of the event.
The Community Council is 50 this year and as part of the Village Show on September 8th we are planning a look back over the past 50 years, anyone with any memorabilia of the past 50 years, old photos etc, pop them to one side we will be in contact.
The Show itself will be concentrating on the Flower, Fruit, Produce and Craft side of things and will be in the Village Hall. As the days get longer and work continues in the garden please think about entering the Show the entry form is in the middle of this month’s Green Links and hopefully there is something everyone can enter.
We mustn’t forget about the Monthly Country and Western Dances which start again Saturday 7th September with Kevin Barry. Tickets are on the door and are £6.00 each, the doors open at 7pm , there is also a bar and BBQ.
And now for the biggie! Saturday 16th November an evening with the Bee Gees. The tribute band – Bee Gees Disco Night Fever Band is booked and will be a rocking evening so keep the date free, tickets will soon be available from Cockfield Post Office or from Janne on 01284 828264.
The year will close with Carols on the Green on December 17th.
I expect there will be a couple of other events popped in along the way but all these coupled with the monthly Country and Western Dances and Cinema we have a full programme to keep us busy and hopefully the Village engaged.
