This was the first of many years to come and a brilliant additional Event for the Cromer Carnival, to be enjoyed by every one of the hundreds who turn out.

The overall winner, pictured in front above, of the successful racer, was the White Horse Inn cart, built by Steve Barber, with the help and advice of Adrian Newey who is better known for helping to design the current winning F1 car for Lewis Hamilton’s team. All Saints’ Church In Mundesley on sea held their annual summer fete on the cliff top on Saturday 11th July.

The weather was wonderful, with lots of sun and a light breeze to cool everybody down. The fete which raises money for All Saints’ church funds, was very well attended and we did well financially. All visitors enjoyed themselves - BBQ, tea and cakes and lots of stalls to enjoy themselves. A balloon making man was entertaining the children by creating balloon characters for them and Police dogs were there as well as the coast guards and the Fire brigade.
