SUMMER FÊTE SPECIAL - 2008

The Summer Fête this year was not blessed with the good weather of previous years, and the helpers turned out in damp, windy conditions to get things under way. On arrival at the Church they found that the main tent had fallen victim to the high winds of the previous night, and was unsafe to be used.

 

It was very much a case of ‘all hands to the pump’, with some of the stalls having to be re-located within the Church, making conditions far more cramped than we would have wished, but we were determined that the Fête would go ahead! In true ‘Cedars’ style, everyone made the best of it, and a very successful day ensued.

The damp ground meant that The Mazazik Troupe of Belly Dancers performed a shortened programme in the Church - which is certainly a 'first' for Cedars, and probably any Spiritualist Church in the area!

The lack of space meant that it was not possible to take as many photographs as last year, but here are a few I managed to capture.

A few hardy souls were in the gardens (protected by Gazeboes!)

The Cedars own musical virtuoso, Rami, with his didgeridoo and singing bowl entertainment. It was good to see Peter, a former committee member of the Cedars, paying a return visit.

The Church says a big 'Thank You' to all the Stallholders, Mediums, Healers, and Helpers, many of which unfortunately can't be shown on this page, but without whose efforts the fête could not have taken place.

The biggest thanks, however, must go to all the visitors to our Fête, who braved the elements to come along to give your support, and for your generosity.

God Bless you all.
