  Day 2 of the River Scarecrow trail Saturday was very good still familys going around at 1800hrs, we have been aske to put it on again next year the plan was Wingham one year and RIVER THE next but we will have to see. As you know this is my last day of doing events over the years I have worked with some great folk and we have had some good times but time moves on and working with very good committee with the Scarecrow event is a good way to bring it all to a end for me.
  River community and the River Council are a very helpfull,and support when things are put on.
  
  Thank you Vi Matcham

  Congratulations Vic, as I understand it the Scarecrow trail was your idea in the first place and the River Parish Council events committee helped to carry the idea through.
  
  It has been great to see young and old a like going around the village on the scarecrow trail. People with a smile on their face, people chatting to each other, what more can you ask. Good clean fun and laughter all brought about by a simple idea which was carried through by a few people who did it for River, for Dover and even better in aid of the Kent Air Ambulance.
  
  Great fun well done to Vic and the Parish Council Events Committee.
  
  I hope Vic you stick with this one, it really has been a winner and I am sure next year it will become even better, now a lot more people know what it's about.

  Harry.
  Thank you for that but it was a very good team to work with, we all had ideas what we should do and we put them all in one bag and worked on all of them. And it is a big thank you all of them I was not the chairman, but we did have a very good one in the chair.
  Yes there will be more but that was my last one
  
  I remain yours faithfully Vic Matcham
