As you’ll probably guess, our village welldressing will not take place this year in its traditional form. We still, however, want to mark the occasion, and would like to invite families and individuals to decorate our little practice boards. Welldressing means so much to generations of people in our village not only giving thanks for our wonderful independent water supply but also a celebration of midsummer.
There are a limited number of boards (though we can make some more if lots of you want to join in) and they will be provided already filled with clay on the evening of Wednesday 17th June. If you would like to reserve a board, please contact us through the welldressing Facebook page or via a call or text to 07899 920204 by Friday 12th June. Please state where you would like to collect your board from, school gate or top car park, or if you need one bringing to you and collecting when it’s done.
It would be lovely to see your designs as they develop, so you can post pictures on Facebook (If you don’t have access to Facebook, you can email a picture to fredbaker@me.com.)
The boards can then be displayed around the Fountain from 6am on Saturday June 20th 2020. There will be no formal ceremony but we can all celebrate in our own way at home. Here’s to Saturday 19th June 2021!
