Visitor comments:
“What a great day yesterday was. Aren’t we a lucky village to have so many who want to help us have fun. Big thanks to Nicky Tom Sassy and Annabel and Mark for dealing with the dogs! What fun they have. Also to Bo, Claire, Karen and Stephanie for the teas and refreshments and of course all the stall holders for providing so many of us with those many little tests of skill and luck. The evening pizzas and ice cream were brilliant. An especially big thanks to the cricket club for providing the venue and the beer! Mostly can I say thanks to Richard for all his very hard work over the past few months planning and coordinating and putting it all together. “
