The 2008 Village Feast

What a jolly occasion the Village Feast remains. None of the Reach or Thriplow multitudes. This is best illustrated by a couple who set out from Bottisham to buy a home made cake. They saw the Feast signs (thanks Steve) and thought they might find one there. They did. And much more. They moved to the book store and could not resist the wide range which met their every need. Then to the luscious plant stall. Afterwards one of those famous Village Hall Cream Teas. After which they sat on the grass listening to the music, watching the astonishing contortions and grimaces of the eaters of buns at the end of a string, and ended by saying "We get nothing like this in Bottisham".

The weather was superb and £823 was made for Village Hall funds.
