The first item has to be the Tour of Britain when it visited the village on September 8, it was an outstanding success lead by the tremendous enthusiasm and hard work of the chairman with, of course, support from the council and many residents.

The community spirit it created was superb to see and showed that there is a village here and its residents do have pride in it and that when the need is there it does have a tremendous community spirit. The day will go down in the records as one of the most exciting – if not the most exciting -- in the village history.
