Not long to go now. Please check website cicelyfoxsmith.org.uk for updated inf. Proceedings start at 2 pm with a walk to Cicely's former garden and the site of 'The Old Cob Wall'. Then 3 pm for the graveside 'Clipping' ceremony and unveiling of the stone. Off to the Village Hall for Devon cream teas and the Cicely discussion forum. At 6pm we have our concert with many top drawer folkies performing free for the cause. There will be a bar, raffle and auction (First Editions, signed books, CFS and Morpurgo's War Horse). For survivors there's a singaround until late.
This is a non-profit event, purely to honour Cicely and raise her profile with a day's celebration and commemoration. The stone is costing about £1,200 as it is York Stone to match her headstone. We are fundraising through donations, ticket sales, teas, raffle, auction, bar and merchandise. Despite huge Cicely following, support for this event to celebrate her life and work has been slow to take hold. We have been working hard to organise this for the past two years and would very much appreciate support from those who value Cicely's contribution to the world.
She ended her life quietly here in Devon, unsung. Come on, let's hear it for Cicely! Please support us, however you can. Thank you. Look forward to seeing those who will on 21 June.
