League of Friends All the Fun of the Fete

The league of friends fete's were the main stay of fundraising throughout the 1960's 70's and 80's. The last fete was organised by former Secretary Pat Bidgood in 1990. The lack of support from volunteers and members of the public sealed the end of the fete as a form of fundraising.

Each year the organisation of the fete would generate an immense amount of work for the league secretary. The income from the fetes dwindled and for the amount of effort which was required it was decided by the league to call it a day.

Below some pictures which exist of happier times:-
