Village Fete This
year the village Fete will be held on SATURDAY 14th JUNE. I do hope
you have already made a note in your diary, but, if not, please do so now. This
has always been one of the major village family events and we aim to continue
that tradition. One of the major attractions of the day is the fact that you can
guarantee to see a host of villagers you haven’t
seen for some time and have a wonderful time catching up on all the village
gossip. It also helps a number of village organisations raise funds, including
the church, youth groups, the Parish Hall and various local charities. Keeping
up our tradition of asking well known local people to open the Fete, we are
delighted to say that Tim Dean has agreed to be our honoured guest this year. If
that name does not ring a bell with you, forget the surname. Most of you will
know him just as Tim, the Brent Knoll Postman. For many years his cheery smile
and knowledge of everyone living locally has been a feature of the village and I
am sure you will want to be there to express your thanks for the superb job he
has been doing. We
anticipate having all of our regular events and stalls, but also will be having
a few changes. The Brent Knoll Primary School children will be with us again
doing their country dancing and we always look forward to seeing their display.
The Chalice Morris Men will be providing their full program of traditional
dancing and we hope that their recent recruitment drive will have augmented
their numbers - we certainly would not want to lose their enthusiasm and skill.
Additionally this year we have a dance troop from the Philippines, all of whom
work in the locality, who will be demonstrating the varied dances from the
multitude of islands comprising their country. I am assured the variety of
differing styles makes for a fascinating display. Another
change will be the absence of a skittles alley (our source for the alley has now
moved further away and obtaining it would be very difficult for those who have
so kindly helped us in the past), but we will have an alternative to replace it
- come and see what it is on the day. Most of the other regular stalls will be
present, along with many of the stallholders from the monthly bazaars. Anyone wishing to have a stall at the Fete can still contact
me on (01-278) 760986, or contact any other member of the Fete Committee. We may
still be able to fit a few more in somewhere! Also, if you would like to help on the day, setting up, running stalls and/or clearing up afterwards we would be delighted to hear from you - and that includes people of any age. |
