From Sandy Leven :
Note to all!!!.
Saturday the 19th is the date for this year's summer event. Railtrack are working on the railway bridge and parking will be restricted. Still plenty at Tesco lower car park, Mill Row and beside the station. We have got more local publicity this year so if you possibly can please bring cut flowers, shrubs. Pots etc to help fill the benches.
If anyone can help on the day that would be good.
