Pictures: John Mullett 3 WELCOME from our Chairman The committee members have, since the Fête last year, been working hard in all their roles to book and arrange the many stalls and attractions for the Flower Show and Fête this year. The amount of work is formidable. People do not realise the effort that goes into getting the Fête up and running. Booking the attractions has to be done very early otherwise they get booked up elsewhere. Committee members, who are all volunteers take on these tasks because they are a team, and enjoy working together. They get satisfaction too, from the many comments by Members and the public on how enjoyable the Fête is, watching children and parents having great fun and also your support of the society by spending money on the stalls and attractions. A very important aspect financially is the support we get from our sponsors and this year we have several new ones. An anonymous sponsor has given us £250 towards the running of the car parking and we are very pleased that John Whelan of Natta Homes will be paying for our annual insurance. We are grateful to them all. Their names are listed elsewhere in the schedule. Please make note of these as they are an important ingredient to the running of the Flower Show & Fête and your support for their services would be welcomed. As you can see from elsewhere in this schedule we will be having our long standing attractions and after missing the Fête last year we will be having the Fistful of Feathers return. Also the ferrets will be coming but sadly will not be racing. A new attraction will be an ‘0’ gauge steam model railway setup, located in a marquee at the end of the enthusiast’s car parking area. Of course we will also welcome all the enthusiast’s car and motorbike owners to come and display their vehicles. We are indebted to all the helpers who come and help from the Thursday through to the Sunday, carrying out all the tasks required for the Show weekend, including the Judges and their Stewards. If you would like to join this happy gang please ring Sue Smith on 01252 850900 or myself on 01252 615534. We must say a Big Thank You to Alf White and his family who allow us to take over the farm each year for the Flower Show & Fête. So we look forward to seeing you enjoy yourself on the day and maybe joining us at the Barn Dance in the evening.
