Sunday 13th July turned out to be exceptionally hot. Even with the Dog Show postponed to keep pets safe from the heat, the Village Fete still drew a great crowd and was thoroughly enjoyed.

A Warm Sunny Day!

I had hoped to spend longer photographing the day’s activities for the website, but I was only able to be there for the first half hour or so. As a result, the gallery is a little smaller than usual this year - my apologies.

Heart Felt Thanks!

The Memorial Hall and Recreation Ground Committee would like to express heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, traders, musicians, and to everyone who volunteered, organised, supported, and joined in the fun. Thanks to your generosity and enthusiasm, we raised over £4,000 for the growing Children’s Play Area and Equipment fund.
