The Fancy Dress Contest and Parade – Friday 20th June

Registration form: https://forms.gle/of12PMpawESSJnJk9

Judging commences at 7pm and the parade will be leaving at 7.30pm.

Registration is optional – you can still just turn up on the night and take part – but this pre-registration is to assist with number management and contact details.

Details will be held for winners only after Beltane week in order to collect in any prizes the following year.

This registration form will be open until 9.00am on Friday 20th June.
