All the fun of the Church Fete
It was a fine sunny day for the St Chad’s Church Fete, as these pictures show.
The children of St Chad’s First School entertained with songs – and actions – prompted from behind by headmistress Sandra Yeomans.
It is all go at the beltringers’ bottle stall.
It is all smiles at the Pimms and prosecco stall.
Going, going but not quite all gone
