Hi all,
Just to clarify a couple of points about Fletching and the road closure this year, the decision to close the roads further out than they are normally and the times set are for the following:
Over the last few years we have had more than our share of trouble with the kids from out of the village due to drink they bring in, so we have decided to move the road closure to make it harder for them to be brought in by there loving parents (they will have to walk).The police will also be at these points to turn any away.
As for the parking times the roads are open to the public up until 6 pm with parking we provide, there after the roads are closed to all public, except members from visiting societies if they ask for a pass they can still get in until 6:30 pm (passes are available from their secretaries).
Coaches will be aloud threw the barriers after this time but will be asked to park near the turn around end due to the procession setting up.
This is all due to last year we had several coaches trying to get into the village as we were forming up for the first procession which meant all our torch marshals were parking and not handing out our torches which delayed things.
I would like to emphaise this is all down to the committee and not down to any police involvement the police are very good to us and good for our night they have not made any restrictions on our night at all, and have given us there support in our new road closures.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings but as far as Fletching thinks this can only make our night more enjoyable for all our members
I would also like other societies to note that fletching has a very hard working but very small number of active workers to cope with the large crowed that turn out each year , in what is after all a small village.
I hope you all still come to suport us this year as really there is not any change that should affect any visiting society
If any one still has any questions please PM me or write to fletching direct. _________________ Fletching.
