Glorious weather at last. Let’s just hope it lasts until the long Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend …

With the village celebrations only nine days away, here are some important reminders.

Firstly, crowns. Youngsters are encouraged to wear them on the big day. Make them big or small. But very shiny. There will be prizes for the best.

Secondly, boats. To recreate the Thames Pageant on Papana Water, we need everyone to bring along a boat. Size wise, make them c3″ by 6″. But no motors!

Do not hesitate to drop us a line if you have any queries. But in the meanwhile, happy crafting!
