The visit by the Calor Competition judges on Thursday 2 April seemed to go very well. They arrived promptly at 9.30 a.m, having stayed overnight in Bungay. We had a mere 2 hours to impress them, which we did by means of a Presentation, ably conducted by Gill Hipwell, a Village Tour and a series of Displays in the Village Hall. These all went very well and everyone who contributed should be congratulated. Now, all we can do now is relax and await the results — with fingers crossed of course.
