When you bring your scarecrow to the gala on Saturday, please set it up in the Scarecrow Paddock which will be on the long side of the main marquee facing the gala field.  A hammer will be avaialble to assist in knocking scarecrows in.

At the scarecrow paddock you will also find identification placards, please fill one in with your scarecrow's name and the name and age of the scarecrow builder and stick the palcard in the ground in front of your scarecrow.

Are you interested in forming a village writing group in Catterline?

Perhaps you already write now and would like some company in what can be quite a solitary activity. Or perhaps you’ve enjoyed writing in the past and would like a bit of encouragement to take it up again. Or perhaps you’d just like to try something new and give writing a go.

Wherever you feel you are with writing, if you would like to get together now and then, around a love of words and a bottle of wine (or beer), then contact me (Judith Irving) at 2 Trelong Row.
