A day at Old Buckenham village fete

Fundraising can be fun
The weather has been so predictable lately that you knew it would be a hot dry day. Stall holders were busy setting up during the morning, visitors started arriving after midday and continued over the next few hours. Games of chance were played, prizes were won, goods were bought, competitions were entered, tea was drunk, burgers, cakes and ice cream were eaten, children were entertained. 
Here is a photo diary of some of the activities.

Awaiting the first customers

Final arranging of the tombola prizes

All set up and ready to go

Stevie Spud begins his entertainment

Scouts get the burgers started on the barbecue

Karin, headteacher at Chapel Green School, does the formal opening

You could buy an ice cream from this man

Phin and his family have fun

Stevie Spud advises on stilt walking

The rector updates his juggling skills

Lorries of all sizes have come along

Soon it's time to pack things away

Hopefully less things go home than were brought along earlier

Final clearing up of entertainer's equipment

All that's left soon after 4pm in front of the Village Hall
