Arrangements for the day have now been finalised, and if the weather is kind to us, it should be an enjoyable and successful event. The playing field will be used for additional items which include Medieval re-enactments with knights in armour, archery, crafts and folk singing, also cubkarts and extra food. The Saxon display and some of the stalls and games will be there too, as the funfair will take up all of the top green this year.

As usual, lots of help is needed, particularly for the following:- In the weeks/days before the fair: baking cakes, making food for teas, putting up posters. On the day: setting up, helping on stalls, selling programmes, clearing away (lots needed), helping run the tug-of-war contest. Those who usually help are always greatly appreciated (though please let someone know that you are available again), but can we also appeal to anyone who has not helped before. For the benefit of the various newcomers to the village, (apart from saying welcome to our community), we should mention that all the profits from this mammoth undertaking are used to keep the village hall going and it is therefore well worth the effort!
