Quorn May Day Celebrations
April 2007
Full steam ahead for May Day 2007.
This event is definitely 'ON'.
A number of volunteers have kindly come out of the woodwork to make running it possible. An initial planning meeting resulted in a wish to run the event similarly to last year (without the rain!). The maypole dancers are eager to start training for an even more spectacular display than before.
If you want to be involved then please let us know. We already have music, dance, and theatre. But anything you want to do can be incorporated - just let us know.
If you want to book a stall to sell your wares, or just display your work then call Sue on 01509 412571. Quorn May Day Celebrations attract large numbers of people from around the area. Don't miss it!
For any further details, or to become part of the day: Contact: Phil on 01509 412571.
Why not download a PDF of the the May Day Poster [540Kbytes] and display it on your house window?
