Michaelmas Fair 2013
A few words…..
HUGE thank you to everyone in the parish and beyond who visited and enjoyed the Michaelmas Fair on Saturday 14 September 2013.
Especially, our thanks go to our local traders, business people and members of our community who generously donated financial help, prizes for the Grand Draw etc., and for their help with catering supplies.
The show was a great success with 696 entries from 110 (adult) entrants and 279
entries from 105 (junior) entrants, from both Sandford and Winscombe; many compliments were received from the judges regarding the excellent quality of the entries. The fair in the afternoon saw approximately 1000 people come through the gates to enjoy the entertainment, which included a superb sound from the Bold Brass Band and a lively display of traditional dancing by the Chalice Morris Men. The dogs from the National Animal Welfare Trust were entertaining with their skilled display and we were treated to the musical talents of the Winscombe and Sandford Community Choir.
A very good day was had by all involved.
THE DATE FOR THE FAIR NEXT YEAR IS THE SECOND SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER – 13 SEPTEMBER 2014.
We always look forward to welcoming new members to our dedicated team and if you have thought about joining us, come and join in the hard work and fun. Please call Jill Cureton – Winscombe 843776 and be part of what matters in Winscombe.
