Bonfire Night 2010

From Robert Bush,
Chairman, Haddenham Bonfire Committee

Many heartfelt thanks to those members of the public who turned out to make the Haddenham Bonfire and Fireworks Display the success it was. Despite the miserable weather there was a good turnout of both public and guys, and congratulations to all of you who entered a guy - the quality was fantastic. Special congratulations to Hannah Turner, who made the winning guy.

The event cannot take place without the hard work of a great many people - not just the members of the Bonfire Committee but also those who helped on the gate, as stewards, in the food tent or helped set up and clean up the field before and after the event. They work tremendously hard and without their help the event simply would not happen. We are extremely grateful for your help and support.

The Bonfire Committee runs or gets involved in a few events throughout the year to help raise money to support the Bonfire and Fireworks Display. If you have a bit of time to spare to help us in our fundraising efforts please do not hesitate to drop us a line. Contact details are in the directory at the back of the Village Voice.

Bonfire Night 2010

The burgers and sausages are supplied by our local butcher- only the best is good enough for you!
(Prices below)

Please do not forget that Fairchilds Meadows are also used for grazing at other times, so try not to leave anything which might harm the animals. It is particularly important not to use sparklers which leave a thin wire, almost impossible for our Saturday clean-up volunteers to spot. In fact no personal fireworks are permitted by our insurance terms.

But there is no need for any of that- Peter's firework show promises to be bigger than ever- so come and enjoy it in a safe and friendly atmosphere!

Haddenham FunRun/Walk/Toddle 13th June 2010

Everyone’s a winner!

This year’s FunRun will be held on 13th June at Fairchild’s Meadow. A flat, child friendly course approximately 5k in length along mainly traffic free fen droves provides an opportunity for runners of all ages and abilities to test their legs or just take a jog or stroll in the countryside on a summer’s day.

Everybody that completes the course gets a well deserved medal, and the winners of each age category receive a personalised certificate framing their achievement plus a free ticket to the Haddenham bonfire display on Friday 5th November.

Dogs and pushchairs are welcome, and the results and pictures will be posted online after the event. The competitive element amongst you can see last year’s times by clicking on 2009 in the Blog Archive (on the right). Then click on June. Fancy turning up and trying to beat them?

Any willing volunteers to help with course marshalling and post race refreshments should email Martin at HADBONFUNRUN@GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
