We decided as a group that as the Youth club is run by YMCA that we would make 4 scarecrows and dress them as 4 characters from the Village people’s song YMCA. We have named them the village people (YMCA)

Four heavenly angels. One, representing the archangel Michael carries a sword and is depicted slaying the Devil. Permission has been granted to showcase them by the entrance to the church. We hope everyone agrees that they are respectful angelic sculptures highlighting the protection our angels give us.

We felt the old Galleywood racecourse needed its very own scarecrow on horseback.

The rider is Admiral Rous ( was the senior steward of the Jockey Club in the 1860s) on champion horse ‘Golden Miller’ (1931)

Lunch at the Horse and Groom.

Many thanks to all the entrants and to the judges and to the generous prizes donated by local businesses.

Do we want another competition in 2020? - let us know.

If you have pictures please email them to scarecrow@galleywood.org and we will add them to the gallery.
