Village Day
(example) All last year’s stall holders have been contacted and are coming again, plus we have some new stalls. If you would like a stall please give me a ring. We have a problem that Alan who does the inflatable equipment has hurt his back and cannot come this year, very disappointing as this leaves an empty area, if any one has ideas for a replacement then it must have its own insurance as our insurance will only cover normal activities and not bouncy castles etc. Thanks to our sponsors Roy Bulgin Ruishton, Paul of the Carpet Shop Ilminster and Scott & Karl of S&K Windows Ltd.
