SPRING FAYRE: Trevor Palmer,Chairman,Sedlescombe Spring Fair Committee writes

“The Committee would like to thank all the workers and supporters who helped to make the Spring Fayre a success last Saturday. The event could not go ahead without all of you who baked, grew, and provided the manpower on the day. There are too many to thank individually, but the teams who collected the tables and chairs, erected the Tea Tent, set up the Games Area, laid out the Upper and Middle Greens, and manned the various games and stalls, and Tea Tent. You were all indispensable. During the Fayre we were kept entertained by the 1066 Pipes and Drums, the Red Roses Morris Side, the Maypole Dancers from Sedlescombe School and Pestalozzi, and Chris Metalle with his Melodeon who played all day, only stopping when the other entertainers were performing. Our thanks to all of you, and especially the Maypole Dancers and their instructors who worked to a very tight deadline to allow the traditional Maypole to be used again and to provide the focal point for the whole event. My own special thanks to the Spring Fayre Committee whose enthusiasm kept the day moving in the right direction and provided assistance and guidance to both the visitors and the stall holders, many of whom came a considerable distance to attend the Spring Fayre. Thank you all”
