With 'Run Norwich' being cancelled, the newly formed "Bunwell & Carleton Rode Runner" group has decided to hold a 'Run Bunwell'. It will be a 10km run around the village on 18th October 2020, the date of Run Norwich, with suitable social distancing. Entrants to Run Norwich can use this event as a "Virtual Entry" but anyone is welcome for fun, a challenge or a time - it’s up to you.  

If you would like to find out more about Run Bunwell, or are interested in coming along to one of the Wednesday evening or Sunday morning runs, please join the Facebook group .

Scarecrow Winners

Bunwell and Carleton Rode's Favourite Scarecrow as voted for by you is perhaps better described as the 'Favourite Scarecrows' as not one but four scarecrows formed the display! The winning entrant was 'The Mad Hatters Tea Party' by Jason and Sarah Goddard.

Everybody who completed the Scarecrow Spotter Sheet was entered into a draw. The lucky winner of the draw and hence the coveted title of 'Best Scarecrow Spotter' is Vicky Hurrell.

Congratulations to The Goddards and to Vicky!

We will be holding a socially-distanced ceremony to award Certificates and the 2x £25 Bunwell Stores Gift Cards donated by Bunwell Parish Council. As always, watch this space!

At the time of publication: we had raised the awesome amount of £824 for the Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity. Thank you to everybody who has donated so far. There is still time to donate via our JustGiving page, but we will be closing the fundraiser in the near future so that the money can be transferred to the N&NH Charity and go to support the vital work they do.

Thank you to everybody who built a scarecrow and to everybody who went scarecrow-spotting!
