REALLY OLD CARNIVAL

As this years Carnival is almost upon us, we thought you would like to see one of the earliest photographs we have been supplied with so far.

Mrs Audrey Chapman was okay dressed in a sou'wester on this rainy day. She was only six! Taken around 1931 and as you can see, going over the old railway crossing.

St Andrew's Flower Festival

St Andrew's Flower Festival this year followed the theme "From Land's End to John O'Groats".

Mecki Green presents ideas to the committee and the Church decides which theme to follow each year. Mecki then contacted her vast range of flower arrangers who are church Members and Friends of the Church and gives them their topic.

They then interpret this their own way, they have a viewing day, where they share ideas and then they produce their displays. This year the displays were as always absolutely fantastic. As you entered the Church, the organist played softly in the background and the wonderful aroma from the plants and flowers made it an absolute pleasure to wander around and marvel at the extremely clever and artful arrangements.

This is the major annual fund raiser for St Andrew's and this year the total raised was Ł10,093.33. A massive amount of money to help the Church. Nationally it is well known and coach parties come from far and wide. Refreshments are served throughout and there are many craft stalls offering a wide variety of goods. St Andrew's would like to thank all who came and supported them and all whose hard work made this wonderful event happen.

Book a dairy date for next year 8 - 11 July 2004! If you missed this years, don't miss the next one, I have no doubt it will be outstanding. For photographs of all the exhibits visit:
