Counting down to the Fayre

Saturday 7th September 1pm-5pm, on the Playing Field

With just over three weeks to go until the Village Fayre we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make this year’s event as brilliant as ever!

Come and be part of the fun. You’ll have the chance to meet new people, make friendships and have a lot laughs on the way. Plus, you’ll be giving back to our lovely Village Community and making a difference.

Can you lend a hand for an hour or two, perhaps working on the bar, grilling up some delicious BBQ, running fun games? Perhaps you can help us put up tents? We’d love to have you join our team.
Please contact Gill on 07968 536 913

We will be out and about in the Village over the next couple of weekends selling raffle tickets and collecting donations for our Bottle Tombola. Thank you for supporting us.
