Upton Village Fête will be held on the village recreation
ground on Saturday 3rd September between 1:00 and 4:00 pm.
In the central arena there’ll be a gymnastic display and a not-too-serious
dog show. All sizes and shapes of dogs are welcome! – please call Gloria
Hancock on 850683.
Wantage Silver Band will be playing and Tracey Seelig’s ladies Morris
Capering Crew will entertain us during the afternoon. We’re also promised a
great display of classic cars and possibly even a couple of steam traction
engines!
The fête is in aid of Upton Village Hall and St Mary’s Church, and there’ll be
plenty of opportunities to spend your money! Amongst the many stalls will
be a tombola, books, garden plants, preserves and ice cream, and to keep
you going there will be the usual magnificent teas, cakes and a barbeque.
For children, there’ll be a special area with games, toys and other delights.
As ever, we rely on the generosity of Uptonians to donate cakes (please
contact Giulia Rippon), tombola prizes (Ian and Judy Robertson) and books
(Bill and Sue Harper – or leave your donations in the church porch). We
also need assistance from 9:30 am on the day to put everything up, then
take it all down again at 4:00 pm. Please contact Paul Batho (851251) if
you can help with this.
Thanks to everyone who is working hard to make this a special day for
Upton. We look forward to welcoming you all!
Paul Batho
