Our Summer Fete was a huge success. The first to be held in our new church attracted hundreds of parishioners and members of the local community. Among the attractions were a bouncy castle, fire engine, crazy science and Irish dancing. A wide variety of stalls were available including crafts, books, cakes, sweets and lots of puzzles and tombolas.

On the school field we had beat the goaly, an assault course, hockey and golf.

The stocks were a popular spot and there was an auction of promises.

Over £1,200 was raised towards the church building fund.

Many thanks to all those who were involved in organising the event and organised the various stalls. We are very grateful for those who donated goods, cakes and time.

Here are some photographs from the event.
