Quarley Village Fete CommitteeJuly 2003 Update[Fete pictures] [Barbeque pictures] Thank you, thank you, thank
you ! ! ! We had a very successful
fete this year and raised a total profit of
£2640.00.
The committee have had a
meeting and discussed at length "what to do with the money" - the end
decision being as follows: A cheque for £1300.00 to
be given to the Village Hall for the following purposes:
A cheque for £1300.00 to
be given to the Church for the following purposes:
We hope everyone enjoyed
themselves, and very much appreciate all the help, donations and work that so
many people put into the whole weekend. Putting on the Fete
involves an enormous amount of work for all the members of the committee, and we
have decided to make it a biannual event for the time being, with the Barbeque
happening every year. On years when there is not a Fete, the Barbeque will be a
bit bigger and involve more entertainment. Ideas floated were as
follows: Entertainment: Bouncy
castle, "cup & saucer" merry go round, walk-around magician, stilt
walker Few stalls / extra fund raising items: Raffle, Guess name of something,
small produce stall, small plant stall, sell helium balloons, palmonism card
game. We might get someone from
outside to run the food element of the BBQ, ie have a hog roast for a change.
This would mean selling tickets in advance for "eat as much as you
like" food, and would also mean we could take orders for specific table
sizes so that people could bring friends and know that their table of 4/6/8/10
was pre booked. These
are only ideas at the moment, but one way or another we will make it a fun
evening to look forward to! We have agreed a date of Saturday 12th June 2004 - put
it in your diaries and plan to bring lots of friends to the Quarley Mini Fun
Fair Barbeque! If you are interested in
joining the committee please do contact Lois Opperman. Obviously next year (BBQ
only) will not involve so much work, but we appreciate all the help we can get! If you have any comments on
the above please do let me know and thank you once more.
