Westfield

The Westfield Community Association: Village Fete was a huge success last Saturday, thanks to the efforts of Annie and helpers. The festivities started from the New Inn, with Section 5 Drummers and Trevor's horse and trap leading the way to the Parish Field. Despite earlier worries the weather was fine, and visitors were entertained by the drummers, Princess Baby Ballet, Rusty Nuts, Theatre Sense and Acromax. An array of impressive classic cars, model aircraft and lots of stalls to visit completed the attractions, and a good time was had by all.
