St John's Church Fete 2025
St John's Church Fete was held on the 19th July 2025 on a warm, dry, somewhat cloudy day. Attendance was greater than the last few years when the weather was wet and windy. One innovation this year was a live band 'One for the Road' who provided the entertainment. The fete was opened by Wayne Pullen who also provided sausages and burgers for the barbecue.
