Bobservation No. 59: Fair Play

Three images of Fulking Fair 2019

At about 2pm on Sunday 28th July I stood in the middle of the North Town Field and realised that the Fulking Social Committee together with Allsorts Dog Rescue and quite a few helpers had created as near to a perfect village fair as you will find.

Perfect weather, exotic dancing, lovely dog show, a great selection of stalls, tombola and model steam engine, really enjoyable teas and food, exciting tug of war, fun kids games, wonderful music and a highly professional bar were all enjoyed by the many visitors. It was truly memorable.

Too early to announce the financial details but sufficient evidence to tell you that it was profitable and improves our reserves for village hall and North Town Field requirements. And I nearly forgot! Call my Bluff on the Friday was just as successful.

What a wonderful Fulking weekend! It will be quite a challenge to follow this up with a repeat performance next year.

Cakes! — Cakes!! — Cakes!!!

Toy plastic cake
This is just a reminder to all you marvellous cake makers that the Tea Team are in need of cakes for the Fair on Sunday 28th. The Village Hall will be open from 10:30am that morning. If it is more convenient for you to drop off your cakes the day before please contact Jo on 540. We are hoping for a bumper Fair this year — so please “get baking”.
