Wardington fete 2019 raises 5 year record!

The Fete this year raised just under £2,000, a record for the last five years. We have made a donation to Dogs For Good as our nominated charity, and the money raised will be split between the Cricket Club and the Church Fabric Fund. Thanks to everyone who attended and who helped to make this ever-popular event such a success this year. Special thanks go to Bridget and Forbes Elworthy for hosting the day, all the clubs and societies running games and all the volunteers who help organise and set up the event. Thanks also to Evelyn Phillips for opening the fete once again this year.
