Fete Volunteer

Help is needed for our traditional village fete, which takes place on the afternoon of Saturday 10th June!

So there are just over two weeks to go and we are looking forward to welcoming you the fete at Church End, Flint Street and on Manor Farm.

One of the main aims of the Fete is to raise money for local good causes and organisations.

Community events like this rely heavily on adult volunteers so if you are able to lend a hand in any way, we'd love to hear from you. If you can spare just 1 — 1.5 hours you will still have loads of time to enjoy the fete as well.

We need help with:

  • Setting up the Fete between 9am-12 (putting bunting and banners up, setting up some trestle tables, helping with gazebos and tents etc)
  • Selling Programmes from 12.45 for one hour, until 15.45 (with entry to the Lucky Programme Raffle Prize draw)
  • Road Marshalls from 12.00 for one hour until 17.00
  • Manning the Slosh a Friend Stall from 1pm for one hour 15 mins
  • And adult volunteers to help out at the Bottle Tombola stall (one slot remaining 15.30-16.45)

PIMM's Tent

The PIMM's Tent, hosted by Haddenham Village Society, is also is need of more volunteers, to ensure that our thirsty visitors can be served as promptly as possible with their favourite classic Summer refreshment.

Just an hour or so of your time during ther afternoon would be so very much appreciated.
