Loughton’s first Scarecrow Trail is over, and it
seems to have been a resounding success, with 58 competitors taking part and
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of visitors going round the trail. Our Treasurer reports that we have raised a much needed £3,000 for All Saints Church. Now that the
Scarecrow Trail is over for 2013, I’d be grateful if you could consider the
event and give me your opinion on what worked well for you, and where lessons
can be learned for the future. Please take a little time to reflect on your
experiences, and give me your feedback by answering the following questions and
emailing your reply to me, at j.hanson@ucl.ac.uk.
