Children make Guys for Warwick Bonfire

Remember, remember the 1st of November, gunpowder, treason, and plots...and remember also that the annual Town Bonfire and Fireworks is being held at Warwick racecourse.

Warwick Mayor, Cllr Jackie D’Arcy visited Newburgh & Westgate Primary Schools with Neil Chisholm Bonfire Chair to see Guys made by the children for the Bonfire. The Mayor was greeted by excited children with their guys to inspect and have pride of place next Saturday. x8g3qyt
