Midway through the afternoon everyone listened to the delightful singing from the pupils from Newton on Trent Primary School. Picnic in the Park Garden Fete Despite a couple of light showers shortly after the start the fete was reasonably well attended. The BBQ and cream teas proved to be very popular and the games were very well supported. There were several different stalls with a wide variety of

Warm sunny weather was enjoyed by all on the Sunday afternoon for Picnic in the Park. We were entertained by an amazing singer, Blue Savannah, who sang a wide variety of songs including some classical numbers. We will certainly endeavour to have her back again. A good time was had by all.

Raffle For several weeks prior to the fete raffle tickets were being sold leaving the last few to be sold on the day. Fortunately almost all the tickets went. The draw was made just before the end of the fete and many of the prizewinners were still there to collect them. The weekend raised £2451.68 for church funds. Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to the success of the weekend. In particular we must thank The Right Honourable the Viscount Hailsham PC, QC and Baroness Hogg of Kettlethorpe for letting us use their grounds.
