It is still on the cards for the world-famous race to take place on Sunday 30 August, starting at 3pm when the ducks are encouraged to enter Solva river. Obviously, due to current circumstances nothing is final, so please look out for further updates.
Although the Surgery doors are locked, GP Practices are still open for business, and if patients have any symptoms that they are worried about, especially if it could be cancer, they should contact their GP straight away. We acknowledge that patients may be concerned about the risk of contracting COVID-19, but please be assured that we are offering mainly consultations by telephone, video or our new eConsult service during the pandemic – and patients will only be asked to attend the surgery for an appointment or test where it is necessary and where it is safe to do so. Please see the Practice websites for details of the new eConsult service. Also, Solva Surgery prescription collection times have changed to afternoon’s between 2pm and 5pm. Keep Safe, Stay Home.
It is still hoped to hold the scarecrow trail (2-3 August 2020), as it is outdoors and people could be encouraged to go round in family groups and keep social distancing.
If you wish to build a scarecrow please contact Fran Barker with the title of your scarecrow at fran34hb@gmail.com or phone 01437 731164 or 07377 059365.
The theme is Children’s Book Titles or Characters. Depending on the ever changing Covid-19 circumstances the event may be moved to later in August. Watch this space for updates!

As most of you will know, the Edge Festival has been postponed until 2021. The dates for your diary are now Friday 30, Saturday 31 and Sunday 1 August 2021 and we can’t wait!
We have been really pleased with the support we have received for making this difficult decision but as we all now know, there was no other option. Thank you to our committee for making the decision. Thank you to all the bands and other performers for agreeing to perform at the 2021 festival and rolling over the deposits we have paid.
Thank you to our major suppliers of the stage, first aid and security for doing the same. Thanks to those who bought Early Bird
tickets and the stall holders. It’s because of all these many people and small businesses that we will be able to have an Edge Festival in 2021. Inevitably, we have some financial challenges and although we have applied for grants, we have yet to receive anything. If you would like to make a donation to help support us, please drop us a line at info@edgefestival.co.uk
