Many thanks to everyone who helped make this years fete both a success and fun
for everyone who attended. Whether you ran a stall, served teas, baked
cakes, put everything up and packed it away again or contributed in any
other way, your help was invaluable and it just wouldn’t have been the
same without you!
The money has now all been counted, expenses totted up and a summary of
the takings from each source of income is attached. After deduction of
expenses (the band, Morris dancers, publicity etc) the net profit, to be
distributed equally between the village hall fund and the church, is
£1,883.81. That’s a drop from the past couple of years because a lot of
people were away so we had to adjust what we could offer accordingly, but
a very healthy sum to each organisation nevertheless. Many thanks to Brian
and Giulia for dealing with the finances (plus the cakes, set-up etc., etc,!).
When we look towards next year, we’ll think about the date in relation to
the school holidays, which undoubtedly had an impact on the attendance
and takings this year, and we welcome any thoughts and suggestions for
future activities and events. In the meantime, thanks again for all everyone
did to create a great day!
