                                                     Hollesley Summer Fete and Fun Dog Show
The day dawned grey, humid and still.  Many an eye was cast upwards and dozens of fingers were crossed, but Stewart Austerfield was in luck, and the 
thunderous outbreaks forecast by the weather men came to nothing. 
As advertised, you could buy food, clothes, books, craft items, plants and bric-a-brac, or you could play gladiators, bounce on the castle, admire Charlie, 
the magnificent Suffolk Punch stallion, or goggle at the giant rabbits.  Wafting across the field came the appetising aroma of burgers, chips, sausages and 
other delights, against a background of music from the excellent bands.  Meanwhile, the Hollesley W I was hard at it in the Village Hall - what would we do 
without the hall? - producing teas and cakes.  Lots of stalls sold lots of things: lots of people chatted and enjoyed themselves, and lots of money from sales 
and the raffle swelled the funds of deserving local causes. 
In short, the day was everything a village fete should be: fun, entertaining, profitable, useful, and a celebration of life in Hollesley and the other villages.
Thank you, all you people who worked hard to make it happen and contributed in so many ways, and thanks also to the people who visited the fete and 
guaranteed its success.  A list of sponsors and local businesses who contributed appears below, as well as the names of individual helpers.  If I have
missed anyone out, please forgive me.  (Stewart Austerfield).
