Something Scary is happening in Bramhall

Something Scary is happening in Bramhall….it’s back! The Bramhall and Woodford Rotary Scarecrow Spectacular is running until 17th September.

There are four categories and judging will take place on Saturday 17th September at three venues around the village:

• * Barclays Bank – local shops and businesses
• * The Village Square -schools, clubs and children’s organisations
• * Methodist church for family and individual entries.
• * Tableaux for groups of Scarecrows.

Mary Robinson MP is the main judge and hopefully a representative from Redrow, the main sponsor. The tableaux will be judged in situ by Bob Preece who is current President of the Rotary Club.

There is entertainment through the day including

• } A Ceilidh between 12noon and 2pm in the Village Square. Everyone should come along and have a fantastic time with Maggoty.

Bramhall and Woodford Rotary will also be selling their latest publication, Billy Bow’s Holiday for £5. A fantastic book aimed primarily at 3-6 year old children produced from all the photos taken during last year’s event. The books are currently available at Ella’s, The Happy Potter, Little Big Heads, Simply Books, Crookilley Crafts, & Amaranth.

We also have a Scarecrow Trail around the Village for the youngsters to follow and find answers to clues.

Prizes and cups will be awarded to winners at the end of the event. Enter as an individual and you could win £100 or a Redrow teddy bear.

All profits will go to our Purple4Polio campaign, a new initiative to continue to raise money to eradicate polio throughout the world. It has been an ongoing project for over 20 years but with only 18 reported cases last year it is nearly there.

The Bramhall & Woodford Rotary Club are very pleased that this event is being supported by Redrow who are currently developing the Woodford Garden Village.

Also Stockport MBC have once again very kindly agreed to waive parking charges in their car parks in Bramhall on Judging day.
