19th July 2009.

Dear All,

It was the Over Carnival yesterday and it turned out well in the end after serious rain on Friday. The chapel had a pitch with tennis ball game, photo quiz, book stall, kid’s colouring and baby feeding station. The game and quiz created lively interesting. The produce show was also on and I am sure you would wish to know that despite achieving 9 x 1sts, 6 x 2nds and 5 x 3rds I was only 2nd overall as a new serious competitor has emerged I am glad to say.

Intense interest in Chapel stand


Produce Show


Clear up squad

We held a BBQ in the garden afterwards for more than 20 while being entertained by the full volume music at the Carnival. This morning the chapel had volunteered to clear up the litter and although it was fairly grubby enough folk turned up to make a good job of it.
I went to work on Monday instead of Tuesday this week as an RHS meeting was planned for Tuesday. In the event it was cancelled so I went shopping for a gazebo for the carnival.
We had another CEEM meeting at Peterborough on Wednesday planning the contents of the next lorry for Moldova. It has been booked for 4th September but we need to do a bit of fund raising to pay for the lorry and some of the contents.
On Thursday we had an 11 mile walk starting at Arkesden, via Brent Pelham and Clavering back to Arkesden. Clavering in particular is a very pretty village and the walk was one of the best we have had. We had a chapel cricket match afterwards at Huntingdon v Anglian Water which we duly won but again I was not too frisky afterwards!
