School Fayre 2009

We have been invited to attend the Robert Arkenstall School Fayre! This year it will be on the 4 July, and we shall be serving our sizzling sausages and blazing burgers from our magnificent marquee.

This year we are hoping to serve our hot dogs and burgers etc:

In June we are intending to resurrect the Fun Run
This has been very popular, although we had a break in 2008

Later, probably in July, we hope to be invited back to the Robert Arkenstall School Fayre

On Friday 6 November 2009 we shall be holding the annual Bonfire Night

All the details will be here as soon as they become available

Bonfire Night 7 November 2008

It was a gamble choosing the Friday after the Saturday chosen by the other two local events (Wilburton and Sutton). Unfortunately for them their weather was very wet and attendances were well down. We were lucky- Friday the 7th was good all day, allowing us to set up in the dry and enjoy an evening of spectacular fireworks and a blazing bonfire in perfect weather.

Our attendance figures were well up on previous years
and our food marquee was kept busy for the whole evening-
we did not even get a break to see the fireworks!

Once again Peter and his firework team put on a great display,
Robert built a formidable bonfire which kept everyone warm on the outside and our range of hot dogs, burgers, drinks, soup and baked potatoes kept them warm inside.

Another successful bonfire night where families were able to enjoy the evening in safety amongst their friends.

Our thanks to the dozens of helpers who created it and our visitors who supported us and made it so worthwhile!
