Wakes this year starts on Saturday 26th June and some of you may be wondering why we have been a bit quiet about it! The problem we have is that it is so close to the government roadmap date of the 21st June it really is hard for us to know what to do for the best!
The Carnival and Recreation Committee have met this week and have decided that we won’t be holding the Carnival as usual but we will be doing the fancy dress competition from your home, with the judges driving around to see you all. We are also hoping to include a float category so they can follow the pick up playing the band music. We will be doing the Treasure Hunt on the Sunday, with both an adult and junior category and the Hill Race will be similar to last year with a few more categories. The rest really does depend on the next two government announcements. I know the Odd Fellows are meeting and are hoping to carry on as best they can – dependent on the next announcement on the 17th May so hopefully we will be able to put the full programme together after that date. We will also be working with the Legion and the Sycamore to provide as best a Wakes as we can whilst staying safely within the regulations.
We are always more than happy to take any suggestions on what we can do – just Facebook Messenger or email lucywigley@googlemail.com and hopefully we will be able to give you some more concrete news in a month.
In the meantime start planning your fancy dress and running up Parwich Hill to improve your times!
