Entering a Scarecrow in the 2011 competition (details for 2012 to be published soon) Sunday 1st May (from 11.30am) and Monday 2nd May (from 10.30am) St Thomas a Becket and friends are again organising a scarecrow trail and competition for the enjoyment of Pucklechurch village and to help raise funds for the Church (the only funding available for the upkeep of the Church and its outreach to the village is from people who attend Church or who give to it). This year’s theme is “Princes and Princesses, Kings and Queens too!” and it was chosen as the scarecrow trail takes place just after the wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton If you would like to make a scarecrow into a royal character, you have until the 15th April to tell the organiser which character you have chosen. It could be a real King or Queen, a musical Queen or a Prince or Princess from a story; it’s up to you. To enter a scarecrow, send the following information to info@pucklechurchscarecrow.co.uk or ring 0117 370 6514 The scarecrow’s name and a clue (to help people guess the name of your scarecrow character) your name, your full address and phone number (so that we can make the trail map and contact you should you win the “best scarecrow” prize of £25! ) If someone has already chosen your character the organiser will ring you to discuss an alternative so do contact us early! Don’t have time to make a scarecrow? Then why not join us on the 1st and 2nd May to take part in the trail? Entry prices are the same as last year - £1.00 for under 16s, £2.00 per adult and £5.00 for a family ticket. There will be stalls, cream teas, sandwiches and musical items to enjoy in the Church. Simply turn up at church, pick up your scarecrow trail map and clues and head out into the village to join friends and neighbours finding the scarecrow characters and guessing who’s who. You can come back for lunch or a cream tea or visit one of our local pubs or cafes. It will be a right royal event! In the past we have had over 50 scarecrows to enjoy. There is a £50 prize for the person who guesses the most correct names of the scarecrows. Make sure you hand your guesses back in to Church by 4.00pm on Monday 2nd to be in with a chance of winning. Then watch the PowerPoint presentation to see the answers to the clues at 4.30pm. We hope the village and visitors really enjoy themselves this bank holiday weekend and we look forward to seeing you all for a wonderful community event. |

The annual Scarecrow Trail is one of the most popular events on the calendar and attracts people from far and wide. Usually over 50 scarecrows are dotted around the village and there is plenty to see. During the two days of the event many families and groups can be seen doing the trail and it is a good way to see the village and meet people.
