An overview of national plans for VE 75 commemorations can be read here...

An article launching Clarborough, Welham and Hayton’s plans for these commemorations appears in the Autumn, 2019 issue of Clarborough & Welham Newsletter (page 9). Unfortunately, as mentioned above, this article contained an incorrect email address for contacting the group - please use that highlighted above!
Late note! The email address above has been incorporated in the pdf file of our Autumn 2019 Clarborough & Welham Newsletter included in the Newsletter section of this site.

Coronavirus emergency resulted in Clarborough, Hayton & Welham’s planned VE75 commemorations being cancelled.
However...

The day actually turned out really good - beautifully warm, sunny, weather and many ‘locals’ having front-garden afternoon teas - and more - while sharing community spirit at a distance.
