#GalleywoodFestival #Scarecrows #YMCA
SCARECROW COMPETITION
The competition ran from Sunday, June 2 until Sunday 9 June.
Judges marked the scarecrows on the following two criteria:
Overall impact – does this Scarecrow make you stop, laugh, smile, think or talk about it? Can you easily identify who/what it is meant to represent?
Execution – how well has this Scarecrow been thought through and assembled? Will it stay in good condition all week? How much skill and attention has been given to all the details?

We felt the old Galleywood racecourse needed its very own scarecrow on horseback.
The rider is Admiral Rous ( was the senior steward of the Jockey Club in the 1860s) on champion horse ‘Golden Miller’ (1931)
Many thanks to all the entrants and to the judges and to the generous prizes donated by local businesses.
Do we want another competition in 2020? - let us know.
