Village Fete & Music on the Moor Saturday 26th June 2010 1pm till late. The countdown to this years fabulous Fete has begun. You may have heard or seen some of the publicity already announcing the days events on local radio, on facebook and on our website www.melbournfete.co.uk We expect a large turnout for the benefit of the whole village. We would be delighted to hear from you through the website if you would like to get involved with either a stall or volunteering on the day. We have a great deal of fun and we have a really good social calendar. There will be lots for you to join in with; enter a’ ride on’ mower for the Lawn Mower Racing, join a team for the tug-o-war or find a mate to throw an egg to. We have Chapmans Fun Fair Rides and the Grafham Climbing Wall, always a favourite. We have a sculpture competition open to all to build a model no wider than 1m and no taller then 2m out of recycled materials. Judging will be by South Cambridgeshire Recycling Champion who will also have a stall on the day to help with any questions you may have on recycling. An entry form iis n this magazine but also available around the village or from our website. Our bar and barbecue promise more choice with different real ales on offer alongside the ever popular PIMMS which will be in even greater supply having run out too soon last year! The BBQ is expanding and hopes to offer a hog roast, so come early as this is always popular, but soon gets sold out! In the evening something a bit sweeter, melbournmagazine
