The Poems Prayers & Promises Picnic

Saturday 29 August 2009

Dersingham National Nature Reserve, Norfolk

We have decided to go ahead with this years P.P.P. Picnic at the John Denver Bench in the Dersingham National Nature Reserve in Norfolk.

This years event will take place on Saturday August 29th 2009 meeting at 12 noon, to coincide with the Wolferton Scarecrow Festival at the local village.

We will meet at the main Scarecrow Festival car park at Wolferton & walk around part of the village to see the scarecrows & off up to the nature reserve to the John Denver Bench for the picnic. After lunch we will retrace our steps back in to the village & complete the circular walk around the scarecrow event. The small village is right next to the nature reserve, so this will not be a big walk. We would say you will only walk about 3 miles (including the circular walk around the village event) on the day.

There is a charge for the scarecrow event, with the car parking, but there is lots to see & do etc. There will be toilets & refreshments in the village.

Around 4.30pm, as last year, we will go back to the Heacham Scout hut for a fish & chip supper. I (Paul) will sing for about 1 hour around the campfire in an evening of John Denver songs & friendship. On the day we will provide tea & coffee, but we need to take the fish & chip order to the chip shop before the day, to save time etc. If you want to provide your own evening meal, that would be fine.

There are toilets, a kitchen & car park at the scout hut.

We are aiming to finish around 8.00pm to give you chance to find your way back home in good time. Also I (Paul) will be getting up early (4.00am) on Sunday morning for work, so an early night is required.

You need to bring with you a packed lunch with a drink for the picnic, good footwear, a light coat in case of rain, suntan cream, camera & maybe binoculars.

Also if you just want to attend the picnic & not do the walk, that will be fine. We could all meet up at the scout hut later if you wish to.

If you want to come to the walk & picnic please email us at:- rockymountain.high27@virgin.net

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you want directions or any more information about the picnic or walk etc.

We hope to have fine weather & a day of friendship remembering the life of John Denver.

Please join us.

Thank you & take care, love Paul & Val. x
