Spring fair The meeting last


Thursday for the Waddington Spring fair, which will take place from May 3rd to 6th, was a great success. There was a tremendous turnout from the village and other groups and committees who were anxious that the weekend be as memorable and action-packed as last year's. There will be a new category for the scarecrow competition; this will be classed as "mini crows” and will be specifically aimed at children. Also, there will be many more events being staged over the weekend and details will be provided nearer the time.
