2010 Country Fayre
Print this Page 

This years Fayre, held on Sunday 18th July at  Shefford School and Grounds was a great success.  Principal attractions included  The Icknield Way Morris Men and the Phoenix Brass Band.  A bumper selection of Stalls and Side-Shows, together with some successful Table-Top Sales added to the interest.  A packed Arena schedule included the Shefford Tigers Cheerleaders.  There were nearly 300 entries in the Horticultural, Photographic and Craft competitions.

This year we are supporting the West Berks Rapid Response Car (WBRRC).  As a result of this years fund raising activities including also our Village Walk and Race Night events held earlier in the year, we are very pleased to announce that we will be donating £1000 to this fund.
