Pen Fete

Good afternoon everyone
,
We will be holding the penultimate fete meeting in the Penselwood Village Hall on Friday 19th June at 7.30.
We are still looking for people to run the BBQ and ice cream stands- it would be a shame not to have them this year!
We have some amazing raffle prizes already but are always looking for more.
I very much look forward to seeing you all on the 19th.
Charles
