The guest of honour at last week's Fete 'Wash-Up' meeting was Peter Brinck when a presentation was made to him to say a huge thank you for his many years serving as chairman of the fete committee. He was a very hard act to follow but he'd laid the foundations for a new steering group of 6(!) to take over his role. Further details to follow of fete proceeds and charity donations made.
Despite the rain and high winds making it necessary to move the fete indoors with the flower show and a reduced number of stalls, there was a fantastic turnout. There was still the bottle tombola (a complete sell-out), cake stall (also a sell-out!), silent auction (all lots were bid for), photographic competition (some really stunning entries), plant stall (couldn't get near it), art exhibition (so much local talent) and the tea 'tent' (nothing much left!). A really lovely social community event. Thanks to everyone who made it such an unexpected success!
