Friday was judging day for King's Sutton in the South Northants Village of the year competition. We met up with the three judges at the coffee shop and they were shown the fantastic facility that is the Millenium Memorial Hall. Over coffee we were then quizzed in a lot of depth about the village, it's infrastructure and more importantly the community.
The judges were presented with an extremely professional information pack put together by Parish Councillors Carole Hill and Tina Armstrong. The pack outlined the significant number of activities that take place in the village such as; Horticulture, Tennis, WI, Football, Needlecraft etc. The pack was well received and I am sure was a great asset to our cause.
The judges were then escorted around the village on foot, as it was a glorious morning. I am biased, but I thought the village looked stunning in the early summer sun! Particular highlights were the Parish Church, Baptist Church and the school. The judges were impressed with the school and all the hard work that has gone in and continues to go in, to make it one of the best in the County. As one of the exclaimed "...the school is the future of the community" and we are very lucky indeed that it is such a positive influence on our community.
The judges I feel left with an extremely positive view of our village, a village we are rightly proud of. I am sure we have done well in the competition, fingers crossed!!
