Burwash

Fete: The weather just about held for the annual fete at Burwash Common last Saturday. Setting up in the morning was a bit wet and the wind wasn’t very friendly in the afternoon but the event went ahead and was a great success. With competitions, a fun dog show, music, food, games and stalls. Something for everyone. All the funds raised will go to the playing fields for the upkeep of the field and pavilion. Well done everyone who gave their time and energy to getting ready, manning the stalls and tidying away and everyone who went along and supported them.
