As you know, we have a wide variety of stalls and attractions at the village Fayre and this year we’re really keen to receive any cracked, chipped, or otherwise unwanted crockery for the smash a plate stall.  Maybe you’re planning to divide some of your plants and have some that need a new home, if so, we’d love these for the plant and produce stall – or perhaps, nearer to September 1^st, you find you’ve a glut of salads or vegetables – if so these would be gratefully received. 

And, as ever, we will need cakes for the cake stall so, if anyone has time to make a cake, it too would be much appreciated.

To anyone who can donate any items for the Fayre, please accept a big thank you from the Fayre Committee.  Any of the above items would be welcomed with open arms by Barbara Rix, Phyl Gladwell, or Sue Driver if donated before the event, or cakes and produce on the day direct to the stall.

Have you got any bric-a-brac or unwanted gifts laying about at home??

Perhaps you’re just feeling particularly generous of spirit at the moment??

The fayre committee need more bric-a-brac, books etc for sale and prizes for competitions and the raffle. 

These can be delivered to Sue and David Driver, Barbara Rix and Phyl Gladwell. 

Also the committee would be grateful for any cakes, plants and produce, delivered on the day. 

Look forward to seeing you all there; let’s hope for some good weather!
