The sun shone warmly on Saturday, August 20 and the tourists and locals came to the fete, some from as far afield as Australia and South Africa. It was a typical English summer fete with delicious refreshments and mouth-watering cakes , books and bric-a-brac and a popular bottle stall. So popular, that the bottles ran out in just over an hour. It is the competitive nature of needing to get a ticket with a 0 or a 5 that lured people back many times in order to win. The raffle was popular and the rector, Rev Paul White had the task of raffling off a bottle of very pleasing malt whiskey. The monies raised are for the church funds, the Mothers’ Union and family support work. The final amount raised was just over £1,000.
Chris Emson thanked everyone who gave time on the day, donated raffle prizes, baked cakes and to those who supported on the day. It takes a team of volunteers to make these days a success.
