The following email was received from the Nocton Festival 2012 team late last night:
"Hello Everyone
Time for a change!
We have collected our new batch of plants for our next planters planting scheme. To make way for them, we now have to clear the pansies that have wonderfully greeted us into the village for the past months. We are taking this opportunity to invite anyone who feels they would like to take some of the pansies from the planters, to do so BEFORE DUSK on Wednesday 16th May. They may or may not grow for you next season, but we just didn't want to discard them without offering them an alternative home. Any pansies that are left on Thursday 17th May, will be cordially invited to attend, 'a humane disposal by compost heap'. Thank you :-)
Also on Sunday 13 May 2012 .....
Jubilee Crown Project
Working with Mr Cliff Baxendale, Nocton artist and leader of Nocton Art Group and also working with ArtsNK, we will be creating a 4 foot square crown made from natural materials. The crown will be displayed on Nocton village green during the Jubilee celebrations. The design of the crown is inspired by designs made every child in Nocton School. These designs will also be printed onto celebration banners.
We will need your help to collect the woodland materials needed to make the crown.
On Sunday 13 May at 2.30 children and adults are invited to join a foraging party led by Mr Baxendale. Bring along a carrier bag and a pair of secateurs. Meet at the school front gate.
On Monday 28 May, Tuesday 29 May and Wednesday 30th May you are invited to come to school to start to assemble the crown. All you’ll need is a smile – and garden secateurs again. The sessions will run from 3pm until 4pm each day and will take place in the school garden – weather permitting. We will work inside if necessary.
Don’t forget the 'Royal' Garden Party on Monday 4 June, The Green, Nocton and the evening dance, '60 Glorious Years of Music' also on Monday 4 June 2012 (further details on our website). Tickets for the evening event are selling very well, please get yours soon to avoid disappointment.
Please pass on this information to those you know and thank you for taking the time to read this email. As usual, we don’t want to bother you with news if you don’t wish to receive it. If you prefer not be included in our updates, please just let us know via return email.
Thank you
