A massive thank you to everyone who planned, prepared, door knocked, sorted, emptied containers, set up stalls, put up marquees, marshalled traffic, baked cakes, dressed up, ate, drank, listened, heaved, cleared up, took down and packed away.
Quite literally we could not have done it without you! Special mentions to:
- For sponsoring the fun dog show: OBH Chilterns Pony Club, Blue Ball, Frost Partnership, Wendover Heights Vets, Springwell Vets. And special thanks also to St. John Vets for providing the Rosettes and to Pet Essentials, Top Dawg Studio and Ethically Raised Raw Food who donated prizes for the winning pooches.
- Kids’ zone & fancy dress: Bellingdon Village Nursery.
- For marketing materials: Thinkfarm for design and Verve Display for printing all our banners. Robert Matthews and Sainsbury’s for banner display space.
- Our official photographers: Jenny Goodall and Steve Templeman.
- Catering supplies: David Hawkes for donating milk for the tea and cake stand.
- Foodnet for onions and strawberries for the BBQ and bar.
- To all the local businesses who advertised in the programme – please support them and your local High Street.
- To all the villagers who contributed at the annual door-knock with prizes and fête “goodies”.
- To our hard working organisers: Simon Church, Emma Eckersley, Alf Field, Hugh Griffiths, Martin Horsted, Catusha & Mike Warry and Jill & Peter Watson.
And of course, to all the volunteers who helped make the fête happen, both in the planning and on the Big Day!
Thank you. Without you, there’d be no fête.
We’ll see you next year!*
If you can’t get enough of the village hall, please keep an eye on our events calendar.
To get you started, there’s the Annual British Dalmatian Welfare Society Fun day – TODAY (see below) – then the Bellingdon & Asheridge Community Association has its AGM on Wednesday 13th July at 8pm in the hall, followed by a pub night on Friday 15th.
*We’re all off for a lie down! Any omissions above are entirely accidental.
