On Saturday afternoon we were blessed with a glorious hot, sunny afternoon for the Annual Church Fete. This year the theme of the Fete was 'The last summer of peace 1914' and many of the stall holders and helpers were dressed accordingly. The crowds came in at 2:00pm to see Charlotte Hawkins of ITV's good morning programme, and daughter of Canon Hawkins a former incumbent of St Mary our Lady, open the proceedings. All the traditional Fete activities, Dog Show, Runaway Train, Bouncy Castle, Tea Tent, various tombolas, Cake stall, Grand Draw, Tug of War competition, to name but a few were enthusiastically undertaken by the attendees. The Chichester City Band played a medley of songs from1914 amongst their programme, and food of all kinds, cakes, barbecue food, and Caroline's Dairy Ice cream were all available. A popular innovation this year was guess the age of the calves, which turned out to be 8 days old! At 4pm Father Stephen drew the winning tickets for the Grand Draw and the process of clearing up began,
Many thanks to every one who worked so hard to make the Fete happen, but especially to our 2 suffragette Church Wardens, and also thanks to all who came and spent their money. At the time of writing the total is edging towards £6500! or very near that sum!.

On Sunday morning we came together to celebrate the Eucharist at 10am. Father Stephen was the celebrant, and the choir sang :Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring' By JS Bach. There was coffee after the service and much discussion of the success of the Fete!!
