The 2013 dragons

Another fine crop of dragons appeared all round the village again this year for the Village Association's 2013 St. George's Day competition. Fortunately the weather was kinder to them than it was last year when some of the dragons became rather bedraggled in the heavy rain that turned out to be a foretaste of the 2012 summer.

Congratulations to all the families who thought up and made all these fine dragons, especially those whose new ideas resulted in some highly original new entries.

As before in the images below the entries have been accredited to the house rather than to individuals as it is more than likely that inception, design, construction and decorating was a family effort!

Thanks to Father Jason Nicolle, Rector of St. Andrew's, who kindly judged the competition this year. The results are as follows:
