Little Bromley Church Flowers & Music Weekend - June 2004

An enjoyable day was had by all, with the weather making it "interesting" without spoiling the event. Thanks to all who came. Both music and were much appreciated - a home grown effort with local musicians and flowers from nearby gardens and hedgerows.

It was good to see so many people from Little Bromley and beyond. Visitors commented on how much they enjoyed the chance to relax in such a lovely place and chat to old friends and new acquaintances.

The Amenities Committee had a board and leaflets on display to advertise plans for more community events in Little Bromley. We weren't trying to raise money but the donations of over £350 will help to maintain the churchyard and the Churches Conservation Trust.

A big thank you to all who gave their time and talents to make the weekend a success.
