Spirits
not dampened at rain-swept King Alfred School summer fair
Heavy
downpours of rain failed to dampen spirits at the annual King
Alfred School Summer Fair in Highbridge on Sunday afternoon (July
6th).
A
large crowd of pupils, friends and families filled the school's
main hall where stalls, music, entertainment and traditional games
were laid on.
Organiser
Jean-Paul Hoskins, Chairman of King Alfred School's PTA, told
Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We feared the event would be a wash
out due to the weather, but in fact we've been pleasantly surprised
by the number of people here."
"We
expect to have raised a good sum towards various activities for
children whose families are unable to afford them themselves."
The
King Alfred School African Drumming Group provided a lively line-up
of music
William
Ashley-Brown and Chris Vickery of Burnham and District Model Railway
Club gave a demonstration at Sunday's event
Traditional
games at the event included 'roll a penny'
Overseeing
the event's bouncy castle were the Sports Centre's Amanda Johnson
and Lee Vaughan
The
tombola stall was run by Lin and Sarah Lester
