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. ❤️

🤩Wow. What a FANTASTIC Parade and May Fayre!🤩

Thank you to every single person who braved the weather to support the event and of course to the school for allowing us to hold it, and all the wonderful teachers and volunteers who gave up their bank holiday to help out.

A very special thank you to our new Head Teacher, Mr Waterman (and of course Mr Humphries 🐶) for welcoming the community with open arms.

Despite being the wettest event we’ve had for a while; we were thrilled to see so many of you there, getting involved and having fun. The smiles peeking through the umbrellas said it all.☔️ thank you to all vendors that powered through it all and brought some lovely things for us to take home!

We cannot tell you how much it means to us that our community cares so much about keeping this tradition alive.

We will be issuing a series of special thank yous to those who helped make it happen so please share and like to show your appreciation - it really did take a village.

Finally, there’s still time to enter the big one! Our raffle is still open and can be entered online for just £1 a ticket, all prizes can be found on the entry page! https://www.pta-events.co.uk/friendsofmca/index.cfm?event=event&eventId=79998

It’s May Fayre day!

Bring a brolly and a smile - there’s still fun to be had at our May Day spectacular!

Parade starts outside the station at 11.30am - don’t forget the road will be closed just beforehand.

May Fayre kicks off at 12pm and there’s nothing a pair of wellies and a brolly can’t sort when it comes to the weather, and there’s far too much fun to be had to stay home.

** Unfortunately, our Bounce Zone is cancelled due to safety reasons (special thanks to our wonderful friends at Monster Inflatables Bouncy Castle and Soft Play Hire who are letting us move the date to hold a fun packed inflatables day later in the year at MCA - thank you guys!)

Butttt do not worry, there’s still plenty of reasons to come along - we have tons of games to play, live music to dance to, entertainment to watch, local businesses to support and buy things from, delicious food to eat, and a stocked bar for extra beer jackets! **

See you there!

‼️ 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

The children’s safety is top priority whilst they take part in this wonderful community event.

🥳🥳 We look forward to seeing you there!! 🥳🥳
