LITTLE
MILTON CHURCH FETE
There are some moments in my life when I really appreciate how lucky I am to live here in Little Milton and Saturday 7th June was certainly one of them. Standing in the
beautiful grounds of The Manor surrounded by familiar faces of other villagers working alongside each other towards a common goal: making our annual Church Fete a
success,
I could not have wished to be anywhere else.
Despite the mixed forecast the weather was wonderful and to think there were torrential downpours the previous Monday, it was an absolute miracle. Thank you to
everyone involved, every bit of help made such a difference. A special thank you goes to: Raymond Blanc, Morgan & Associates, Dee Waldron, Jen and Rob Gelling
for
sponsoring the band and finally Sarah and
throughout.
We should make around £3700 much needed funds for St James’, a fantastic
result.
Remember
as Victor said at the Fete:
‘……our Church is
here for you. If you ever need us or our support, please feel free to contact me
or a member of the Church. Do come along to one of our services, you will be
made very welcome.’
Coordinating the fete is one of those monster tasks that hopefully turns into a fun event that comes smoothly together on the day. Luckily this year it seemed to work. It
took over 100 people to make the fete happen and in a village the size of ours that really is impressive. To each individual that helped in any way: you are real stars,
you
are what helps to make this village such a great place. A year ago we were
reputed to be the ‘village from hell’ look around now…… it is just
‘heavenly’!!
