FINAL FETE UPDATE. This is the last fete update – the week’s festivities will soon begin !
A reminder that all entries for the competitions should be delivered to the Church on Friday morning – 18 June please.
The entries for the procession should assemble at 12 noon in Moonrakers field (behind the houses in Brickworth road) by kind permission of Trevor King. The entrance will be signposted. Judging will take place at 12.15 – by our guest for the day, the New Forest author, Mr Simon Chadwick. He will officially open the fete at 1pm – by which time the procession should have reached the Memorial Ground.
Football fans need not be disappointed! The first England match in the World Cup takes place on 18 June coinciding with our band and hog roast night. Arrangements have been made for the match to be screened at the pavilion.
You will no doubt be bombarded with requests to make cakes, buy raffle tickets and help set up or clear up over the coming days – please respond generously – but most of all , enjoy the activities during fete week !
Thank you from your fete committee
(Printed copies of the fete programme will be distributed in the June issue of Steeple & Street, and the same info will also (hopefully) be somewhere on the website soon !)
FETE UPDATE
This year’s fete theme is “ Storytime” , so the competitions this year reflect that.
Design a book cover. This category is open to three classes, Key Stage 1 and 2 and above. The pre school children can draw a picture of their favourite story character. The entries should be A4 size.
Write a poem. Again open to three classes, Key Stage 1 and 2 and above.
The first line of the poem is “ It was the night before the Whiteparish fete “……………, and entrants should complete the rest.
This year we are also inviting adults to join in. Using the “Storytime” theme, you can submit either a painting, a sculpture or a collage of a reasonable size.
