Despite the rain the fair went ahead, we are British and nothing can stop us once we make our minds up to do something. Congratulations to the scarecrow committee for all their hard work making sure the day was successful, great fun was had by everybody.

Thanks also to Wray Institute for providing the facilities to enable all the local charities to profit from the fair by selling refreshments.
