We have received the following from Charlotte Bradbury-Wilkinson. If you have any information please contact them direct..

To the person or people who think it is acceptable to drive onto our land and deface it in such a manner this is unacceptable. Yes cobblers nook lane runs through as a through route but it does not give people the right to do this to our land! On the field next to this was a group of dry cows, some of which are due to calve soon. This happened last night as the gates were left open incase the dry cows got out so they would go onto the adjacent field and not wander off down the lane or onto the road. Any one with details to whom may have done this please contact me.

Wakes 2023 you have been awesome. What a week! We have had the most support and visitors we have had for several years. It’s been action packed and we are completely exhausted but happy to have seen so many friends new and old. We are a truly special village and we need to remember and try and maintain that as long as possible.

Wakes would not be possible without the help and support from so many volunteers, the Oddfellows, Kirsty, Jane and the Sycamore Team and everyone at the Legion. So from me to you thank you. It’s time for a rest now but we will be back in 2024.

I just wanted to leave you with one of my favourite photos of Wakes so far, showing one of our Carnival Committee going above and beyond.

Signing off for now

The Carnival Parade is the climax of Wakes Saturday. The more entries, particularly floats, that we can get to take part the more exciting it will be. The Carnival Committee realise that preparing a float can seem like a bit daunting and may not be for everyone. But we would like to encourage you to give it a go. Perhaps you have an idea, some enthusiasm or a suitable vehicle – but not all three?

If so maybe we can help.

If you:

• have a suitable trailer
• would be willing to tow a float
• have an idea for a float
• are just someone who would like to be involved but don’t know where to start….

…please get in touch with one of the Carnival Committee or email lucywigley@googlemail.com and we will see if we can do a bit of helpful matchmaking!

There is no need to tow a trailer if you don’t want to. Dressing up an individual vehicle, or taking part in one of the lovely classic cars in the village would all be appreciated.

All entries will be very welcome, from those planned weeks in advance to one started at dusk the previous day.

As an added incentive the year will see the inauguration of the Laycock Trophy for the winning entry.

So come and join us!

Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee
