photos: Crowds flock to sun-soaked Brent Knoll Fete
Hot summer weather attracted large crowds to Brent Knoll's annual
fete on Saturday afternoon (June 14th).
The
event was opened by Tim Dean, the village's postman, and featured
entertainment from Brent Knoll School's dancers, the Chalice Morris
Men, and a group of traditonal dancers from the Phillipines.
There
were also more than a dozen stalls on the village green offering
traditional raffles, tombolas, refreshments, face painting and
a coconut shy. The event is expected to have raised a large sum
for the vilage's parish hall.
The
crowd watched on as John Page, one of the event's organisers,
outlined the schedule for the afternoon
Tim
Dean, Brent Knoll's postman for over 11 years, officially opened
the event and stunned the crowd when he said this year's fete
would be the last because a new wind farm is to be built on the
village green. Fortunately, it was just a joke!
The
village school's children gave a display of English country dancing
John
Knight was the man with the tongs at the fete's barbecue
