This Saturday between 2 and 4 pm we held the traditional Sidlesham Fete. Our first post covid fete was a great joy and after a rainy set up on Friday morning we were blessed with fine weather and a moderate wind to prevent us being too hot.
The Fete was held on the meadow next to the vicarage, and we were delighted to see the return of our old favourites The Chichester City Band, the Pimms Tent, the Boutique, the Plant stall, the Classic Cars, the Book Tent, The Cake Stall and of course the Dog Show!
The Fete was opened and the Grand Draw tickets were drawn by Father Roger who did a splendid job!!
We were delighted to welcome Father Chris and Carolyn, who are to join us in September when Father Chris takes up the post of incumbent at Sidlesham, They spent some time looking around the Fete and meeting us all.
The refreshment tent and the ice cream van did fantastic business through out.
The Toy stall ran out of Jam Jar Tombola jars, all the Pimms was drunk, and the bottle tombola also ran out of bottles!!
In the Traditional tug o' war competition mothers and sons beat fathers and daughters, and the Band beat the village!
We wait to hear from the Treasurer but we anticipate a tidy sum was raised for the Church, many thanks to every one who came and all the helpers, tent builders, stall holders, car park attendants refreshment providers and out first aider, Congratulations to Barley Warring who won best in show at the dog show!!
