Village Hall Fair: The main event this weekend is the Village Hall Trust’s Summer Fair on the Playing Fields in Saturday. The Boot Fair starts at 8am, with the main fair opening at 10am. With the weather as it is, common sense will have to prevail when it comes to the Dog Show, but all being well there will be a Fun Dog Show, Classic Car & Bike Show, The Ukelele Group, Rep Tylers, Food Wagon, Bar, Sahebs, WI teas, face painting, bric-a-brac, and a variety of stalls. This is also a great opportunity to get an update on village organisations, most of which will be manning a stall eg The Library will be able to bring you news of future plans, and The Plotters will be selling excess produce in aid of Chitiwiri.

Chitiwiri: At the entrance to the Playing Fields, Forge House will be hosting this year’s Bric-a-brac sale in aid of Chitiwiri from 9am until 4pm (assuming stocks last). As well as loads to buy, there is the opportunity to sponsor a slot in the calendar for the feeding programme in Chitiwiri which feeds 1000 children each day for £45!
