Laura Woollacott, Events Co-ordinator, South Norfolk District Council writes…..

Dear all

I am delighted to announce the date of our 2018 South Norfolk on Show event as Sunday 1^st July.

This successful event, now in its eighth year attracts audiences of up to 6000. We are very proud of this unique  show that takes place on our South Norfolk Council site in Long Stratton. The event offers an opportunity to a wide range of local business and voluntary organisations to promote their services and engage with the public.

Each year we aim to attract new visitors from across the district ensuring that we can use this opportunity to highlight key council services to residents and provide a great free day out for all the family. I would like to take this opportunity to ask for your support , please save the date, and next year join us in helping to promote the event across your neighbourhood.

We have some great photos which will provide a flavour of what you can expect next year on our website

I would love to hear from you if you have  any suggestions of  local performers who may be suitable to perform on our bandstand on the day, or any local groups that would like to host a stand.

Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you with any ideas you may like to share with me to enhance the day.

Kind regards

Please note the Parish noticeboard is under repair. Paper copies of the minutes will be posted there as soon as possible.
