May Bank Holiday Weekend 2011 Editorial - Les Westley
A ‘Celebration of Arts, Crafts and Flowers’ was held over the 3-day May Bank Holiday, 2011 in the
lovely, newly rebuilt Blandford Forum Parish Centre. The weekend was excellent with many
interesting contributors present.
Dot gave batik art demonstrations over the weekend along with a display of her batik pictures and
products.

Dot was very pleased to meet the Mayoress of Blandford Forum at the exhibition who graciously allowed the moment
to be photographed. Needless to say, Dot was immensely happy to have been a part of the occasion.
Many thanks are given to the various members of the Parish Church,
especially Gail del Pinto, who made this lovely weekend possible. Also a big
‘thank you’ goes to all those who attended the proceedings and helped to
make it the success that it undoubtedly was.
