Thank you to everyone who took part in or supported the annual May Day Parade earlier this week.
Special thank you to our road marshals for keeping everyone safe, especially to the Rotary Clubs and Gravesend & Northfleet Lions for offering to help. The event simply couldn’t have happened without you all.
On the same note - thank you to our wonderful vehicle donors and drivers including JP Hooper on the tractor, and to everyone who took park on foot or on wheels, including our amazing Meopham Community Academy children who held their Olympic torches high.
And last but not least on our parade thank yous - to the Mayor for leading yet another spectacular procession. It was such a fantastic event to get the community together. ❤️

‼️ ADVANCE WARNING ‼️
As you will have seen from various signs around the village, the annual village tradition of the May Fayre (12 - 4pm) and Parade (11:20 - 12pm) will be happening this coming May Day:
🥳 Monday the 6th May 🥳
As usual, we will be closing the road in preparation for the Mayoral procession, with local children, showy cars, Meopham's own Fox Mascot and more!
This will mean the Wrotham Road and connecting roads will be closed from
11:20am - 12 midday this coming Monday, whilst the slow procession travels from Meopham Station - Meopham Community Academy (Longfield Rd.)
The children’s safety is top priority whilst they take part in this wonderful community event.
To avoid disappointment, please avoid these roads during this time. Thank you in advance for your patience.
🥳🥳 We look forward to seeing you there!! 🥳🥳
