Summer Fete, Flower Show and Dog Show

Two o’clock on Saturday 20 August 2022

This year’s Summer Fete, Flower Show and Dog Show will take place at the Upper Deverills Village Hall and on the Cricket Pitch on Saturday 20th August, starting at two o’clock. The Show will include the usual classes, which are listed below.  You can also find this information and entry forms in the August Parish News. Please bring your entries along on the day between nine o’clock and eleven o’clock.  You can, alternatively, send in your entries to the photographic class by email to upperdeverillsvillagehall@gmail.com by six o’clock on Friday 19th August.

• As usual, we will be holding an Inter-Village Tug-of-War Competition.  Some of you might wish to get together with other potential tug-of-war team members in your village to discuss tactics beforehand!
• There will be a Produce stall so if you have any fruit or vegetables or other home produce that you would like to sell (including things that you have entered into the Show), please bring them along on the day.  Helen Bull is running the stall.
• The Village Hall Committee could always do with more helpers, so if you would like to run a stall or a game, or would like to help in a more general way, please contact Kevin McBride at or Ted Flint at .
• The Tombola and Book Stalls and the Raffle rely on your generosity for their success, so please drop any donations off with Eve and Kevin McBride, Ted and Gillian Flint or Caroline Davies.
