Rector's Message
Dear
Friends,
Welcome to Ash Fete
2002
I am looking forward to this, my second,
Ash Fete. Last year we were blessed by the weather, but also
by a wonderful turn-out and so many attractions. This year I
hope, it might be even better with a number of new attractions
and, hopefully, the return of the balloon.
I must say thank-you to all who have
done so much to prepare for the fete, from the use of the land
and the power supply, to those who helped set it up, and all
of those running stalls and attractions today. Many organisations
have supported us by advertising this year. We do appreciate
this from a fund-raising point of view - but it is also a statement
of the way the local community works together. Please support
them by your custom - and also support us today.
This year we also have a Grand Draw,
with some really fabulous prizes, some also supplied by local
businesses for which we are also most grateful. Good luck if
you take part - but please do all you can to help us both with
fun and with funds - and have a look round our lovely church
before you leave.
John A. Peal
