IPPLEPEN LOCAL HISTORY GROUP
LANTERNS 2020
We can start preparing now for our ‘Light at the End of the Tunnel’ celebration on SATURDAY NOVEMBER 28th. You can add some brightness and sparkle to the village by illuminating Ipplepen with garden installations, lights, and decorations. It will be our winter equivalent of the Stall Crawl with people walking round the village, ideally with their own smaller lanterns and obeying social distancing, to see the larger lanterns or displays in the gardens around the village (maps supplied).
Although we will not be able to have lantern-making sessions at the Hub Judy Dewhirst can supply easy to follow kits with everything you need for a simple lantern to carry around with you. She will be delighted to supply larger quantities and advice for those of you getting a bit more ambitious.
There will be the usual prizes and trophies so start getting creative now.

We have been sifting through some old photos of Ipplepen School as they commemorate fifty years at Biltor Road. Here is a splendid photo from the Edwardian period.
