The Ticknall Scarecrows Trail weekend was yet another great success, and once again the weather was kind to us. The winning scarecrows were
- number 42 Worzel Gummidge
- number 62 The Royal Balcony
- number 44 ET (on the bike - there were 2 ETs)
Lots of people enjoyed doing the quizzes and the winners have been informed. If you wish to check the answers, the adult and the under-15s quiz sheets complete with answers can be downloaded via the DOCS link on the main menu at the top of the page
Although this is not primarily a fund-raising event (we just like to have fun, you know) we raised £2668.45 in total. The money is to be divided equally between this years three charities
- The British Lung Foundation
- The Melbourne British Legion - womens section
- Ticknall Toddlers

It was a lovely couple of hours with all the family and my daughter won the under 15's quiz which really made it even more special for her!
We really hope to have a trip to England next year that has us over at the right time for the Ticknall Scarecrow Trail 2012. Well done to all those involved with organising, you should be proud!
I made a HD video which features most of the scarecrows at this years trail. Best viewed in fullscreen mode.

From my wheelchair I could not get his attention !!!.
I wished I had my legs back :(
Or you could have intervened and stopped the truck causing the damage perhaps?
It's going to cost you more than that to replace the damaged lamp post and light sensor at the village hall.
It was fun to see the re-cycling lorry turning around and catching the bunting you put too low and keep going and then the lamp post bent in half and the other end of the bunting pulled the light sensor off the wall above the public toilets.
Dam strong bunting.!
Nice work.
You might think before you put bunting up next time.
Well done to everyone for the sterling efforts made in your fundraising event. We had a great hour and a half wandering around and everyone we passed seemed to be enjoying themselves equally.
It isn't often that I am compelled to write a note of congratulations but this afternoon's visit make me feel like I wanted to live in Ticknall too.
PS I would happily pay more than £2.50.
