Village Fete - Saturday 19th June 2010
The
Chesham Bois
Village Fete, sponsored this year by IBB Solicitors,
was opened at mid day by the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP. afternoon’s
events were presided over by Town Crier, Simon Card, decked out in his
finery, who acted in the capacity of Master of Ceremonies.
Despite
there being a chill in the air everyone’s spirits were lifted by the
Rhythm Makers Steel Band who played throughout the afternoon creating a
summery carnival atmosphere. Continuing with this theme there was a
Limbo Dancing Competition and a display of belly dancing by the ANUKET
Dance troupe of Barefoot Belly Dancers. Other displays were put on by
The Taylor Hill Scholl of Dancing, the Chesham Air Training Cadets and
the Chesham Theatre company.
Children were entertained by Jay
the Clown and able to work off any excess energy on the nearby
inflatable slide and bouncy castle before having a go on the Go Kart
race track. The Scouts laid on two challenges: the Aerial Walkway and a
‘Potholing Experience’ for youngsters who felt brave enough to have a
go.
The BBQ provided a selection of tasty treats including a
Caribbean option and for those with a thirst the beer tent was close
by. The tea tent was also busy all day with Tea and cakes
laid on by
St Leonards Church.
Our thanks go to all the local interest
groups and organisations that supported the fete by running stalls, and
individuals who participated and generally helped to make the afternoon
fun for all. The general consensus is that the afternoon was a great
success despite the lack of some warm summer sunshine.
