Bobservation 21. Fulking Fair and Fun Day
We have had a good response to a plea for volunteers for Saturday 30th July but, as ever, there is still a need for various types of help:
The Teas Team are desperate for cakes! Please ring Tricia (255) or Pam (271) with your promise of a donation (which can be homemade or shop bought, they won’t tell!) and to arrange delivery. Even if you are bringing your cake on the day it is still important to let them know what you are bringing. Teas will be served in and outside the village hall (weather permitting).
Tombola prizes of any type are much needed and can be delivered to Louise at 13 Clappers Lane or call her on 773.
Childrens’ Games. Here Angela needs help in supervising the events which include Bouncy Castle, Stocks, Hook the Duck and Coconut Shy. Volunteers will have time to enjoy the other events but relief helpers would be very welcome. Please give Angela a call on 122.
Parking controllers are needed to direct the traffic to the parking in Downside Meadow, allocate spaces in the meadow and control traffic through the village. If you can help on this one give me a call on 271.
So, please:
- Come to the fair on Saturday July 30th from 1pm till 5pm and make it a really successful day.
- Come to Call my Bluff at the Shepherd & Dog at 7pm on Friday 29th July. Tickets from the pub are £15 each and include superior nibbles and ten, yes ten! wines to quandary over. Bring your own food and drink if you wish.
- Be as helpful as you can to visitors from outside the village and remember this is a Fulking village and Shepherd & Dog combined event.
- Be as cooperative as possible where traffic is concerned. There will almost certainly be some disruption in The Street due to pedestrians moving from Downside Meadow to the North Town Field. Nothing will be gained by getting upset or abusive.
