Raised...Over £2,600!
Here's some pictures and a report from East Dean Village Fete this year from Martin Gibbard.
A great afternoon in
the valley
The oracle from East Dean was right yet again – the sun did shine! Max
and Eden’s garden looked lovely and everybody enjoyed this fund raising
and social village event. Whether rummaging at the bric-a-brac,
bookstall or finding a bargain at the plant sale, there was something
for everybody. As always, a big thank you to our hosts and particularly
to Karen Barrett who co-ordinated the afternoon. Commenting afterwards
Karen said “we have had a really great afternoon and I think everybody
had a good time. I’m sure the number of visitors is significantly up on
last year. We must have had around 600 people. The run on teas, soft
drinks, ices and strawberries and cream was tremendous – we couldn’t
keep up with the demand! A total of well over £2600 was made towards
church funds, which is a great result and more than last year. Well done
to everybody and thank you all for putting in such hard work to make the
day happen.”

A big thank you to all who attended, supported and organised this year's
fete. We told you it was going to be sunny and so it was ...a bit too
sunny for some! As always, a huge thank you to Max and Eden Davies for
letting us run riot in their garden - it has to be one of the most
lovely settings for such an event. The pictures here are a memory of the
day. Click on them for a larger version.
