Your Day - Your Village

Saturday 4th July from 12 noon

Just a reminder to everyone that Cottingham Day 2009 is only four weeks away.
On the day, the only place to be is in the village because loads of events will be taking place around the village centre.
Main areas are Grandads Park - loads for the kids; Memorial Club - Motor Bike display; Darby & Joan Hall - Stalls; Civic Hall - Shows and demonstrations; Hallgate - Classic Car Display; Memorial Gardens - Birds of Prey, and of course the Market Green - Live music, street cars and much much more.
To kick the day off, there will be a parade at 12 noon and as well as the above events there will also be face painting, various street entertainers, BBQ, competitions, demonstrations and much more.
Don’t forget Hallgate will be closed to traffic all day from George Street to King Street so it will be really safe and easy to move around.
Hopefully many of the shops in the village will be doing ‘Cottingham Day Specials’ but more information about that nearer the time and on the day. KCFM will once again be running events on the stage, with fun and games in between a very busy afternoon of live entertainment.
This is the 5th Cottingham Day and will be the biggest and best yet and don’t forget its FREE!!!!
If you want to know what is going on and at what time programmes will be available before the event and on the day from various locations around the village.
Also for the first time ever, Cottingham Day will be continuing into the early evening and will finish with a ‘Round Cottingham Cycle Race organised by Pete Dunn of Cottingham Cycles. This will be held around the village between 7.45 pm and 9.00 pm and should finish the day off superbly.
This is going to be a great day out for all the family, young and old, so make sure you make a note in your diary and don’t Miss it!!!
Because of the size of the event, we are always looking out for volunteers to help on the day. We need people to man stalls, man barriers, give out programmes and generally help where needed throughout the afternoon. If you can help or would like to sponsor an event, then contact the Parish Council on 847623, or Willow Boyle on 843367 or Nick Russell on 848339.
