Nettlebed Art Society would love some help after the fete

Hallo Everyone, Nettlebed Art Society has a very small committee so we would love some help after Nettlebed Fete on Saturday evening or Sunday . We need to get the "A" frame, which is along the main road taken down, turned over and repainted with this year's art and craft show dates. Then it needs putting back up the during the first week of July. These jobs could be divided up so that one person takes it down and if necessary bring it to my house, another does the repainting ( think we have paint in stock) and then someone to help put it up on the main road again. If you can help with any of this, please contact nettlebedas@gmail.com or phone me on 01491 641138 ...
