Many villagers have enjoyed our online coverage of the 2013 Spaldwick Fete.
This year saw the introduction of online voting for the Scarecrow Competition, which went without a hitch.
In total, 114 households voted, representing about half of all premises in Spaldwick, which is a fantastic result.
Next year, we hope that we will achieve closer to 100% when we will hopefully have superfast broadband!
Congratulations to our winner, creating the amazing cow and maid. Scarecrows receiving the greatest number of votes were:
1. Cow and Maid (42%)
2. Bill and Ben (19%)
3. Mole and Poppy (7%)
4. Wimbledon (5%)
5. It’s A Funny Old World (4%)
6. The Wizard Of Oz (4%)
7. Catch Me If You Can (4%)
