Arlesey Community Events Group Treasure Trail and Easter Bonnets On Saturday March 26th there was a flurry of activity throughout Arlesey, with parents and children trekking up and down the village on a treasure trail. The object was to find various items that can be seen around the village. Pages of images were distributed to those taking part who in turn had to find the subject of those images and mark down where they were. Later in the afternoon the Easter Bonnet competition was held in St. Peter’s church with some fantastic entries from both young and not so young. Images: Andrew Ward. Design a Logo Competition!
