Over 40 sacks of rubbish were collected including two abandoned slightly battered but repairable mountain bikes subsequently collected by Thames Valley Police.

Village Fete 2008

Our Village Fete this year was opened by Elvis impersonator Mark Dobbs who also kept people entertained with a series of shows throughout the afternoon. Mark was joined in the arena by dancers from the Yvonne Taylor School of Dancing who jived and danced to the songs made famous by Elvis. The afternoon’s events were presided over by Town Cryer, Simon Card who acted in the capacity of Master of Ceremonies.

Another special attraction was a low level flypast by a Hurricane aircraft from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight to a commentary by Geoff Nichols, CBE, DFC a former Hurricane pilot who regaled everyone with some of his flying experiences. An unexpected bonus was a low level fly past by more than 50 aircraft including a Nimrod, C17 Cargo Plane and close formations of Tornadoes and Typhoons that had taken part in the Trooping of the Colour Ceremony in London and had been given the location of the fete by the Hurricane pilot. They diverted over Chesham Bois Common en route for RAF Halton where they were due to take part in a flying display.

Apart from Elvis the arena also featured a display by Dogs4us of obedience and dancing to music and the Amersham Music Centre Sax Quartet who also provided some musical entertainment. There was a separate arena area for children who were kept entertained by a series of different shows including a Magic show and Punch & Judy by Oscar the Clown. They were also able to work off any excess energy on a nearby inflatable slide and bouncy castle.

Our thanks go to all the local interest groups and organisations that supported the fete by running stalls, participating and generally helping make the afternoon fun for all. The general consensus is that the afternoon was a great success no doubt aided by some lovely fine weather.
