                Once again West Hagbourne attracted many visitors to admire the 
                dragons displayed around the village. So very many thanks to everyone 
                who participated in the dragon competition.  
              A 
                popular attraction to people passing through the village was the 
                enormous colourful dragon in the pond. Special thanks go to Mike 
                Parker and family and helpers for this splendid dragon.  
              The 
                judge, Mrs. Carol Hackett from Didcot, had a difficult task. She 
                was impressed with the variety of materials used in amazing ways 
                to construct so many different dragons. Her final decision was: 
              1st.
