Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Council has issued an appeal for residents to help them make bunting.
“Following the success of the Mayor’s Coronation Celebration Codger Councillor Craft Club, which has seen Councillors improve their sewing skills under the watchful eye of needlework teacher Deputy Mayor Eugenie Sherry, we have decided to extend our Bunting Making Classes to residents of Smalltown and Dullbridge.
Not only will residents be able to fill the time between lovely cups of tea by making some lovely red, white and blue bunting to help celebrate the Coronation of King Henry IX, but it will also help them achieve their obligations under Section 94A of the Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Council Official Coronation Handbook – All households must display bunting for the Coronation, by order of the Mayor.
We had hoped that we would be able to make enough bunting to go round, but so far we’ve spent longer talking about making bunting than actually making it, so we’d like residents to help us out.
We plan to hang bunting across all the roads in both Smalltown and Dullbridge*, stringing it from lamppost to lamppost, because we are yet to discover that the All-New-Yet-Unimproved Somerset County Council Roads and Street Furniture Department do not allow anything heavier than a fly to be attached to their lampposts.”
The Smalltown Administration Guru (SAG), Katie Global, has spent a fair amount of time faffing around with instructions and a pattern to make the SaD regulation-sized bunting, which is now available to download from the SaDTC website.
(* Bunting will only be available for Dullbridge once we’ve run out of roads in Smalltown.)
