Weston Rhyn Village Show meeting

The Gardening Club no longer wish to run the Annual Village Show. Over the years, both of us have been involved in a number of village activities. Following a the village Millennium Celebrations, it has been very sad to see a succession of village

activities stop, including The Carnival and The Quinta Bonfire

& Fireworks.

Yes, times change and things move on but we feel that it would be good to see The Show, or something similar, survive. Apart from wondering whether we could simplify it, we have various questions including:

whether it is at the right time?

whether we could split it into separate events: art & craft and flowers & garden produce?

whether various organisations would take a leading part in doing things?

whether there could be a tie-in with other activities such as a concert?

and other people will certainly have more thoughts.

We know that our parish of Weston Rhyn is an amalgam of quite distinct areas and a number of small hamlets, but we think it would be sad to allow even more erosion of the things that help build our community and identity. We also know that a significant number of people really do enjoy coming to and taking part in the show.

So, if you are like-minded, have ideas, would like to support some sort of Village Show and may even be willing to give it a go, then we welcome you to join us in the Institute on Wednesday 25^thFebruary at 7.30 pm. For more information, contact:
