Since the Gala Committee moved the venue to the rear of the Social Club it has proved a particular success in wet weather and the parking is better. At least you can drown your sorrows in the sanctuary of the bar if it decides to pour with rain. This year should be a good year since the weather is forecast to be good, so all being well this Church sponsored event should have a good turnout.
There will be plenty for everyone, including a representative of the Parish Council for a change, although it will be Councillor Simpson who actually lives miles away at Beckingham. Why he should want to be on our council I have no idea, although I could hazard a guess. He's felt a bit unwanted lately, so many elections fought and lost in an attempt to get back onto Bassetlaw District Council.
I wonder if there will be a stall for the Friends of the Victoria Institute, trying to drum up support again for this derelict building. This might sound as if the village is apathetic of anything that happens but you would be wrong. When the church needed funds to repair the roof after thieves had stolen the lead, an organised appeal led to the £33,000 required being obtained in I believe, less than 8 months. When there is a real need our village will give its full support in barrow loads.
Anyway, have a good day.
