VILLAGE FETE
Congratulations and thanks to Peter Bennett for organising this year’s highly successful Fete on Saturday and to all the helpers and stall holders involved for their hard work.
The first count shows an approximate take of £890.00.
A magnificent effort by all!
Splat the Rat – one of the highlights!
The Human Fruit Machine…
…was a top crowd puller!
Visit the village website for more photos!
And a special big ‘thank you’ from Sue Nicholson to all those who made cakes or other tasty treats for sale in the tea tent at the fete on Saturday and to those who helped with serving refreshments (Jan, Rachel, Berry and Annette). Also, thank you to Keith who generously donated his £10 prize for the highest score on the bagatelle game to the fete funds?
Next Years’ FÉTE will be on 15th August 2015, probably mostly in support of “Help for Heroes”.

MINSTEAD MAIL
A further reminder that the next edition of Minstead Mail is in the course of preparation and it will cover the period from September until the New Year. If you wish to submit anything for inclusion please email it to minsteadpc@googlemail.com.
Many will know that the late Andrew Salanson gave his graphic design skills to help produce the highly professional looking Minstead Mail that we have all enjoyed in recent years. His contribution will be sorely missed.
Thus we are looking for someone local with graphic design skills who may be able to help in future. Anyone interested should contact us at minsteadpc@googlemail.com.
