Subject: FW: FETE and MUSIC festival sunny success

 

 

Dear All

 

first of all huge thanks to everyone who supported us and worked so hard at, Blean's annual community based village fete and 9th music festival last Saturday - a wonderful, friendly and very warm event in every respect!

 

The list of people who helped to make it the success it was is enormous and far too great to name everyone personally, but you will know who you are. 

 

The amount of visitors, community members, stall holders, entertainers and musicians who came along to take part was simply amazing (the best turnout and numbers we've ever welcomed), and we know you enjoyed it too as so many of you stopped to tell us so during the day and the evening.

 

Therefore it's a massive well done to everyone of you who contributed, donated, baked, washed up and helped in/or whatever you were involved in at the event, as you and everyone there made it the absolutely marvellous day and evening event it turned out to be.

 

All assisted by 😎😊😂 the sunshine and heat, food, burgers, drinks, cakes, strawberries, knickerbocker glorys, beer et al with so much on offer to see, buy, join in with, watch and listen to.

 

The profit from the day totalled a fantastic profit of ?3,500.00 the money raised will be designated to specific refurbishment and new environmentally focussed projects _at_ Blean Village Hall to benefit all who use it currently and in the future.

 

The Blean Tug of War contest with 6 teams taking part was won by:

the BLEAN WOMEN TEAM! Defeating many male teams - well done those women. Their name will be inscribed on the Blean trophy as 2018 winners.

 

The Hall, a registered charity is managed by volunteers and benefits all who live in Blean community (its held in trust for them) by BVHMC, and all fund raising profit is re-invested in this very  popular and well used community centre. 

 

Hall volunteers are taking a well earned break from our social events calendar during July and August, resuming with the usual end of month coffee morning on 29th Sept 10am - 2pm in the Hall - information closer to date.

 

Many other locally based groups will continue to offer social events up to and through the school summer holidays so please support them and keep an eye out for their posters, flyers, events and dates.

 

Enjoy the sunshine and have a wonderful summer break too. 

 

Best wishes and thanks again from all the Hall volunteers and supporters.

 

PS  Pictures of the fete and music festival will be coming in soon.  Visit our website:   www.bleanvillagehall.co.uk  at the weekend or next week to see if you're there.
