Do you remember last year's Fete? How could we forget it?!! Gales so strong that they made national television, (although, amazingly, no mention of our Fete despite losing no less than SIX marquees in the space of 20 minutes). It was all hands to the rescue and with the help of many stalwarts the show went on, albeit slightly modified.

Amazingly we still managed to make more money than the previous year and, with a float held over for this year, the committee has made the following donations to local enterprises.

SNITTERFIELD ACTIONING CLIMATE CHANGE:
£150.00 was awarded towards Electronic Monitors and Sensors which are available for villagers to calculate how much energy they are using at one time.

SNITTERFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL:
£450.00 to buy musical equipment

SNITTERFIELD VILLAGE HALL FUND:
£600.00 to help towards the purchase of new cooker. A wireless microphone system and speakers were also suggested.

SNITTERFIELD THURSDAY CLUB:
£500.00 to help towards the cost of the coaches hired for trips out.

SNITTERFIELD VILLAGE FIREWORKS DISPLAY:
£500 was donated to the firework display

SNITTERFIELD FOOTBALL CLUB:
£200.00 for the football club for new goal posts

If you live in Snitterfield or its surrounding area and have a local project which needs funding or have an idea which would benefit the village and would like the Fete Committee to allocate some funds this year please let us know.

This year there will be a Bar and Pig-Roast, Teas, Five-a-side Football Tournament, Dog Handling Display and Circus Skills Workshop, Go-Karts and many other attractions.

As always we thank you for your support and we hope you, especially the Dads amongst you, enjoy your day and come back next year.
