Our torchlit procession is fast approaching and this coming weekend we will be dipping torches in kerosene ready for 21st.

Join us at the Scout Hut Friday 6th 8-10pm for our annual get together and learn about plans for the Carnival Procession.

Check out our bonfire banners in the High Street, with thanks to our stitchers who made another 20 banners this year. The Newsletter has a feature article on the banners and other work that goes on behind the scenes to put on the Carnival

With 5,000 torches made for the grown-ups, it’s now time to make some fun torches for the kids. Do join us at the Scout Hut on Saturday 31st August from 10-12 to have a go at making and decorating these new hessian torches.

We made nearly 1,000 torches last week, if we get a good turn out next Saturday 17th we should be able to complete the target for this year. Please do come and help us finish the job, 10-1 outside the Scout Hut, free coffee, chats and donuts.
