Arrangements have now been finalised for the Victorian Spectacular, in 3 weeks time, on Saturday 27th November 2010. Posters are on display throughout the area and flyers will soon be coming through letter boxes.
Throughout the day, there is an entertaining programme of events, in the village and at the square, culminating with the lighting of the Christmas Tree by Santa at 4.30pm.

The 50 tubs purchased by the Trust have now all been positioned in the Conservation Area. Volunteers who have offered to maintain the features will shortly be contacted about which tubs have been allocated to them.
The photo shows the repositioning of one of the tubs by the village notice board. This morning, 4 members also planted 200 crocus bulbs at the front of the grassed area on the opposite side of Front Street, which were provided by the County Council’s Civic Pride Team, through their 2010 Bulb Planting Challenge.
If you missed the exhibition yesterday, Story Homes have now posted the boards that were on display on their website.
They show constraints and opportunities, concept development, housetype design and potential sketch layout.
Comments are requested by 2nd November, using a feedback form.
