ALL OUR YESTERDAYS
2012 IS HERE! Now it is all systems go with preparations for our special Abbey Festival from Thursday 3rd to Monday 7th May.
Can you find us some Forties memorabilia? We are waiting with 'bated breath' to hear from you. Uniforms, costumes, wedding dresses, photographs etc.; lots are required to make the displays memorable and the Festival a success.
The Festival starts in the Abbey with a Preview Party on the evening of Thursday 3rd. The exhibition in the Abbey will open on the Friday. Saturday 5th features a grand Street Fair, a Dog Show and Garden Fete, finishing with a Big Band Concert in the Abbey in the evening. On the Sunday, there will be a themed lunch in the Abbey Hall and a special Evensong in church. Events conclude on Monday 7th with a Treasure Hunt. We hope this will make a very happy and nostalgic weekend reliving the past from 1940 onwards.
We would like much help as possible and hope that everyone will get into the spirit of the events and dress up to suit the occasion. Needless to say any sponsorship will be most welcome! Doris Waymark (01953 604879 or by email: di.waymark007@btinternet.com) and Joyce Reynolds (01953 604904) are looking forward to hearing from you.
