Yesterday was a great day out for so many. The fete has grown year on year and is now a major event on Chafford for our community. The weather was kind and so many people made the effort to come along, it was lovely to see many of our current and past members of the school coming to say hello - some from as far a field as America.
The pony rides were a great success and our thanks go to the family who gave up their time and ponies for everyone to enjoy. It was also nice to see a traditional Punch and Judy show in operation.
The bouncy castles were as popular as ever, as where many of the traditional stalls and events.
I didn't see so much as the BBQ smoke rendered me partially sighted for some of the day! The team on the BBQ, especially the helpers who cooked, did a great job as it was so hot and smokey. I know we sold over 750 burgers and hot dogs. The beer tent was also busy and there wasnt much left at the end of the day.
I will let you know how much we made as soon as we have an idea of profit, although it wasn't just about raising money. It was a family day for the community.
My sincere thanks go to everyone who supported the day in whatever way they were able.
Well done to you all - we will soon be planning Christmas . . .
