This year BCA is backing the village fete and stands to gain £300 or more from this one event. This income is essential if we are to realise much of the Beautiful Burton project, which includes a WW1 memorial bench on the Triangle, and picket fences for the village entry points (those at Yatton Keynall cost £1,500). Grants are available for such schemes, but will only be awarded if Burton demonstrates a level of commitment in the form of match funding.
The organisers are looking for volunteers as follows:
- 1 x for tea and cake stall
- 1 x for tombola
- 1 x target (human) for sponge throwing
- 1 x for as-new stall
- 3 x additional stalls – ideas welcome (see attached to avoid duplication)
Volunteers should contact Annie Trubody (annie.trubody1@hotmail.co.uk).
Even if you aren’t available to take part on the day, you can still get involved. Yes, you can! Items are needed for the tombola and as-new stall – we can pick up from you. Still don’t think you can help? How about making a donation towards the WW1 memorial bench?
Just a few hours of your time or a £10 donation could make a big difference to Burton.
