Scarecrow Festival 2018

To celebrate the passage of the Tour of Britain through Meshaw, we decided it would be good to make scarecrows and mount them on bikes. And we did. An excellent turnout of  'crows for what was, I believe, a first attempt. You can see the scarecrows on the Gallery page.

On the Sunday before the race our district councillor Jeremy Yabsley was chauffeured around the village to see all of them and to pick winners and runners-up.
