Fête 2019: dog show cancelled, fête going ahead

~ bacaadmin

In view of the high temperatures predicted, the Bellingdon & Asheridge Community Association Committee has decided to cancel the dog show planned for tomorrow, Saturday 29th June 2019. We hope you understand the rationale behind this decision, as animal welfare is our priority.

The rest of the fête is going ahead as planned, so please do slap on some suncream and hat and come along to support us: we have the Hemel Hempstead band, beer festival, pimms and soft drinks, BBQ, teas and cakes, ice creams, the annual tug-o-war and kids’ fancy dress competitions plus Brazilian dancing demonstrations, lots of stalls and activities for kids and adults – face painting (12:30-2:30 only), a kids’ area, coconut shy, beat the goalie, bouncy castle and roundabout plus much more!
