Fun at Haselor Church Fete!
Saturday 21st June
On Sunday 18 May, members of our Al There were a few spots of rain from time to time at our annual Church Fete held at Haselor school, but nowhere near enough to dampen anyone’s spirits! We all had a wonderful time playing games, trying our luck on the tombola and raffle, buying plants for the garden and cakes to take home (except for those we couldn’t wait to eat!)!
The newly formed school choir entertained us with a delightful medley of songs. They were followed by ‘Shout’ with their Beatles tribute as we sat and ate our burgers, and drank our Pimms, prosecco and pints! A great way to spend the afternoon!
Before the prize giving at the end of the fete, Kevin, our long serving village postman was given a retirement present along with a book full of messages from residents thanking him for his service, help and friendship over the last 38 years. Kevin had in fact been a postman for 40 years in all, and apparently thought that the job was only going to be temporary!
The fete was a huge success once again and our heartfelt thanks go to everyone involved in organising and running the event – and, of course, to everyone who came to support it!
When all the takings were counted it was clear that we had raised over £3,000 towards the cost of the stonework repairs at the church. A brilliant result!
With the Plant Sale and the Fete now behind us, it’s time for a well earned rest! Until next year!!
