NEW: Ellington’s Got Talent.<br />
Can you sing, dance, tell a joke or play a musical instrument? All welcome from toddlers<br />
to octogenarians and all family friendly talents you can show off in the ring are fine - but<br />
everyone has a strict time limit of two minutes.<br />
With many stalls – including a chocolate tombola - and lots of events in the ring we will<br />
finish late afternoon before everyone reconvenes with their chairs and tables for an evening<br />
party. We ask that you don’t reserve any spaces in the Marquees until 6pm at the earliest<br />
please.<br />
Into the Night<br />
With food in the evening, drink and much<br />
dancing to a live band, expect the usual late<br />
finish!<br />
HELP! 9am Sunday 24th June<br />
Of course, we always need help the morning<br />
after to help clear up…and almost everyone<br />
has a hangover so you will be in good<br />
company. We meet from 9am. Bacon Rolls<br />
and Tea & Coffee supplied. Many hands<br />
make light work and get the job done in<br />
no more than two hours.<br />
And there’s more<br />
The Playing Fields Association put on an excellent<br />
Family Sports Day & BBQ on the playing field on Sunday and Gala events formally finish<br />
with a Gala Service on the Church on Sunday evening.<br />
What is the Gala for?<br />
The funds we raise are distributed to local groups - the Village Reserve Fund, Playing Field<br />
Committee, Village Hall, and Ellington Church.<br />
This fun and inclusive village event for all the family, is run by a small volunteer committee<br />
group with many helpers. We couldn’t do it without everyone doing their bit.<br />
We have various pieces of equipment<br />
for hire at reasonable rates all year.<br />
These include Marquees, Candy Floss<br />
Machine, PA System, Till and folding<br />
tables. Please contact any of the<br />
committee to find out more.<br />

the year. Please no adverts, for sale<br />
items or traders though.<br />
