Jackdaw Chatter - The Quarterly Magazine about Stow-cum-Quy
The Fete
What a glorious day, sun shining and everyone out enjoying it. The day raised
in total £1187.46 just under £12 short of 2006 but well above
the average (Since 92) of £989, so THANKYOU to all those who helped
with the setting up and breaking down of tents and stalls etc. To all the
people involved with collecting and manning the stalls, your time and effort
is really appreciated. To all those who donated items be it saleable items,
cakes or talents (footballer and face painters) and to Chick and Maureen for
all the organizing (we know it takes a lot of time).
Thanks also to Buster the horse who walked up and down the field many times
with delighted children on his back, many with painted faces!!
We would also like to thank Bill Watts for the use of the Orchard, although
I have been told there was a lack of trees to shade under this year, Bill
assures me they fell down on their own and were not cut down just to annoy
Jane!! More sun cream next year (we hope).
The Church has seen in recent months an increase in break-ins, not much is
taken (only Henry the Hoover) but a lot of damage is always caused, which
like so many things cost a lot to repair and all of the money raised at the
Fete goes towards insuring Quy Church. So apologies if this sounds like the
Oscars but again many thanks, without village support we would not be able
to raise such an amount.
We would like to welcome you all to the Harvest Songs of Praise service on
Sunday the 30th September at 5.30 (time changed so hopefully more children
can attend this family service).
We are encouraging children to bring produce or flowers to the service and
there will be activities like biscuit decorating at the end for their enjoyment.
Items and any volunteers are also needed at 9.30am for decorating the Church.
Many Thanks
Quy PCC
