Burwash

FAIR: Last Monday was a glorious day for the annual Burwash Summer Fair. For once the weather was perfect, not too hot and the visitors flocked to the field. The number was astounding and we thank them all for coming. This is always a great time to meet friends who have moved away yet always come for this yearly event. All the stalls did good trade throughout the afternoon. There was plenty to see, do, buy and eat, from tombolas, coconut shy, crockery smash. Cakes plants fruit and veg, burgers and hotdogs and of course the main raffle. The children had lots of fun on the bouncy castle and the assault course the swing boats and the rails track. Well done to the playing fields committee for all their hard work in getting this together again.
