Corscombe Fair and BBQ

The Annual village Fair was held at Corscombe Court, courtesy of Mr & Mrs John Peak, and the weather was idyllic. The event was very well attended with lots of people returning after seeing how nice and friendly the villagers were at the 'Open Gardens' the previous weekend. Hopefully lots of money has been made!! The stalls were loaded with goodies from generous villagers who sorted out items for the book stall and bric-a-brac, baked cakes for the tea stall and the cake stall....who could resist those cakes!! The plant stall and bottle stalls were loaded.....people taking more exercise and giving up the drink, well perhaps not! Our side shows and visitors stalls looked splendid. Although the weather was very warm, the smell of cooking beef burgers and hot dogs was too much to ignore and hunger pangs had to be sorted at the Barbecue. The Tea tent was busy and the cakes and cream teas went down a treat. The demonstration of 'spinning' by Christine Bird attracted a lot of attention, Colin and his friend did well with the coconut shy but there were some bad shots as some balls disappeared into the shrubbery. Flip the Frog kept the younger visitors happy and the Raffles and Bottle tombolas did a roaring trade. Poor Sam had a hard job Keeping up with the ice cream sales as the temperature rose. Our new event, the Fortune teller, alias Dr Dearlove, was kept busy all afternoon and his 'readings' were uncannily accurate! The Fund Raising Committee would like to thank everyone for making the day enjoyable and successful by their donations of cakes, bottles, etc and for their help in setting up the area and stalls and giving up the time to man them. A big thank you to all our visitors for coming and spending their time and money with us.

The attached photographs of the day are available as computer files and if you would like them contact Stuart on 01935 891765 and he will be pleased to pass them on to you.

Some Grand Old Classics.

Thanks to Richard Wheatley and friends for showing off their 'pride and joys'.
