It is getting nearer-our fete on Saturday June 18th.The start will be outside the Village Shop at 1.45pm when the new bench to commemerate the Queen’s 90th birthday will be unveiled.We ask that children in fancy dress are present here at this time so that they can be judged and be amongst the first to use this seat.We will then have the children’s races,to be organised by Beth Clutterbuck.The Hawk and Owl show will be sited on the Cricket Square ,access to the public being forbidden on grounds of safety and protection of the grass.The dog show will follow in the adjacent arena at about 3pm.There will be the usual novelty classes with rosettes as prizes.We shall ,of course,be searching for the Hambledon Champion.

Then we shall have the Grand Draw at about 4pm.It is our hope that most of the tickets will be sold prior to the fete,as this is important.The money raised underpins the cost of putting on the fete,so please buy lots of tickets especially if approached on the day.This is in place of having no entrance fee.

Finally there will be a Tug of War.First the adults and then the children.

It promises to be a fun packed afternoon,with all the stalls,demonstrations,refreshments,sideshows,bouncy castle and slide,and a few special visitors turning up.

Please come and bring all your friends.All we need are the people and just a little of their money.
