Found - Round Stone Hat Pin at the grounds

If it’s yours just let me know!

The committee is just wondering if someone felt more passionate about our sponsors banners that we had put out in preparation for our event? They were on the premise last night & gone today.

We are currently missing 4 banners & would like them returned before the weekend. We take this theft very seriously as it isn’t even our property & for no benefit to the thief. If not returned the grounds will be locked & no access will be permitted except for events.

We allow use of our toilets & showers as a courtesy to truck drivers & those passing through & this is extremely disappointing.

If they returned undamaged & before the weekend we will ask no questions & be happy to continue the way things were. Any help is greatly appreciated
