A’ Maying in Quorn 2000

Now in its second revival year, the Quorn May Day event took place on Saturday May 6th 2000. Fantastic summer weather, coupled with the procession, over 40 stalls and thousands of villagers made the event a brilliant success.

All activities were organised by the Quorn 2000 Group.

  Brilliant! An excellent day. The kids are still talking about the tall man with the wooden legs. Thanks to all who sorted the day.

  Kids thought the day was great fun. Thanks for the day!

  How did you sort the weather? The family ended up with minor sunburn, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole event. Didn't win in the duck race, but maybe next year ...

  Thanks to everyone involved with organising the day - I very much enjoyed sitting by the wall answering questions about making baskets and letting some of the kids have a go.

Comments from last year's May Day event:

  I'm Georgie Vaughan of Battram. I would like to say that the May Day was excellent. I especially liked the part where you could try out juggling, rubber weight sticks and stilts. I really loved it all day. I hope I will be able to come next year as well.

  I would like to record my thanks to the 'Quorn 2000' group for all their hard work and to all the people, young and old, who took part in the May day celebrations.

It was a wonderful success and a delightful occasion and much appreciated by all who attended, particularly some older residents who were reminded of 'days past' in Quorn. May I also congratulate and thank the organisers of The Art Exhibition, held in The Village Hall, on the same day. It was also a great success and proved to be even more impressive than last year.

  Thanks to everyone who supported the 2nd Quorn Scouts Duck Race. The proceeds from this event are going towards the cost of buying a new group minibus.
