Meriden Festival News We are delighted that comedian Malcolm Stent has agreed to launch the 2008 Meriden Festival, at the Cyclists Service on the Green on 18th May. The Festival is a period of fun, community activities over a period of six weeks or so in the early summer, and the line-up of events planned for 2008 so far stands at:
2008
Sunday 18th May Cyclists' Service on the Green at 11am, followed by cycle rides through the day Sunday 8th June Motorcycle 'Megaride' organised by Rotary on the playing field, with live music, food and stalls Saturday 14th June 'Centre Celebrations' on the Green, with outreach bus, stalls, refreshments and activities Sunday 22nd June Preachers' Tree Service in Kinwalsey Lane at 4pm, followed by tea No doubt further events will be organised, and we look forward to hearing about anything you are planning over this period. We also look forward to hearing from groups interested in running stalls and activities at the Megaride and the Centre Celebrations. Experience from previous years suggests that what works best is if some of the smaller organisations have stalls or run displays at some of the larger events, to the benefit of all parties. So this year we hope to 'grow' the Megaride and the Centre Celebrations, with more things to see, do, and buy. If any charity or community group would like to have a pitch at either of these events (money you make is for your own good cause) please contact one of us: About the Megaride: Neville Riley on 01676 532709.
