Welldressing 2022: It’s a relief and an excitement to be planning a full-blown welldressing festival this year, so fingers crossed we’re able to go-ahead as in years gone by. To this end, there will be a planning meeting along with the AGM, open to everyone on Tuesday 12th April. Whether you got involved last year with the small practice boards, have well-dressed for 40 years or just moved to the village and have no idea what we’re talking about, please come along to the meeting to help plan for this year, decide who we donate any surplus funds to and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Welldressing is solely reliant on volunteers, it can’t happen without you. If you’d like to get involved in any way, lifting and shifting, helping with finances, publicity, or growing flowers please join the list to receive details of how to help out. Contact us via Facebook or message/call 07899 920204. As part of the AGM we will be looking at welldressing finances. If you know a local cause that would benefit from a small donation please email details to fredbaker@me.com.
