A Day In The Life Of Hollesley Village Fete Wind rain, wind rain, does this deter the people of Hollesley....NO.... Regret, in view of the changing weather we didn't do as well as last year. But we took £4,000 on the day and after expenses we made £2847, which this year the Fete committee allocated to 14 of the Village projects - see the credits below the group photo (opposite). Despite the changing and unsettled weather and the band Hurricane getting lost on the way, we had a very good Fete. The music was very good if not better than last year. Ray and Gill Whiffin working flat out did an amazing job on the BBQ doing record business and taking £616 ! The beer tent didn't do as well as last year but we sold the last drop as the Grand Draw was being called at 4.00pm. Thanks to Carol from the Hollesley shop who gave permission to sell raffle tickets outside the shop on the pre-Fete Saturday, we raised over £120 in ticket sales. When everyone ran for cover, Rosemary Busby and the Ladies from the WI did a splendid job selling lots of teas and scones with delicious strawberry jam and cream. Meanwhile outside the 50 or so dogs were being led around the Fun Dog show. Joan Butcher and her marvellous team did amazingly well with the Bric a Brac, as did the White Elephant. Jackie on the Book stall took a whopping £196. Pauline Austerfield also took a record £125 raffling her watercolour of butterflies (featured on the June cover of Village Voices.) Out came the Sun and the Hollesley School did an outstanding performance with their trumpets and country dancing, Well done Lynne Wright and your team for showing us what the children can do. For the first time Keith Clements came along with his collection of hand-made boats all in working order. They looked great, thanks Keith. Charlie, the Suffolk Punch, came along looking fabulous with his tail all plaited. Thanks to Jofor sending such a magnificent horse for all to see. The Judo club put on a great display throwing one another around. Thanks Julie, for putting on such a good enthusiastic display. Then the wind and rain came again blowing the Bouncy Castle off its base. It got too slippery for the kids to play on and for reasons of Health and Safety had to be taken down. The Fete committee really would like to thank all the friends of Hollesley, our business supporters and the volunteers who helped to Summer Holiday ‘Messy Church’ Games-Drama-Craft Music- Sweet Making For 4-12 year olds Wednesday 10th August 9.45am-3pm At Hollesley Church Free Presentation in church at 2.30pm To Parents and Friends Bring packed lunch, trainers, suncream Snacks and drinks provided Ring Di 411079 or Lydia 411799 to book Organised by the parish churches of Alderton, Bawdsey, Boyton, Hollesley and Ramsholt make it another memorable day. Special thanks go out to Len Busby, Barry Rey, Richard Pipe, and Ray Larson. Our grateful thanks go to the lads from HMP Hollesley for being so helpful in putting up the marquee and tents.

Shepherd & Dog Quiz June’s quiz was, at last, won by Brainspace who chose Riding for the Disabled as their charity. Harriet and her harem have been second on more occasions than we can remember but they knew more about sport than anyone else and romped to victory. The Bouligans were relegated to second equal with undermanned Oakthatch. In May The Bouligans had won; the May evening coincided with a Bank Holiday Monday and so more teams were present. The £58 raised went to Canoeing for Cancer (Mike Adam’s charity work). In April the quiz was won by Confused.com, a keen and more recent team, who chose Suffolk Punch Trust as the recipients of £38. The quiz is open to all teams (up to 5 in a team) on the last Sunday of each month. Nick Mason August 2011 page 9
