Melbourn Fete Once gain we were not put off by the rain! Our stall hosted Fair Trade and Circus crafts, here’s a sample of the children’s creations:
Bloomsday We were delighted to take part in the Bloomsday festival on the 16th June, and to welcome so many people in to our church hall. Our minister, Duncan Goldie, contributed to the music whilst others read aloud and served refreshments (although not at the same time)! Essential funds were raised for water Aid: www.wateraid. org/uk
