Thank you to all who helped make it happen, and to everyone who gave donations such as GSK amd GMTF
Despite the interruption by the rain, many enjoyed seeing the excellent display put on by the History Group in the Armoury Hall
Many were able to see The Newnham Sword, thanks to Gloucester Museum and Milo Kerr
The day ended an evening of musical entertainment by Dick Brice and Cheeky Monkey at The Club.
Splendid teas were served, the paintings by the Newnham Art group were on view, many books were sold. Punch and Judy did their annual appearance and music played all afternoon.
The village trail competition called “I spy in the garden!” started on the same day – and ran until 6th August.
A lunch time concert was given by Lola Perrin who is both a composer and a pianist in The George.
We are still adding up all our takings and donations, and hope to announce the results very soon… a total of about £1,900.00 was taken amongst all the street stalls and events.
The stalls run by the Street Fair committee raised about £300.00.
The committee is now looking at options for funding, which may possibly include making the blue plaques more permanent, sponsoring a Street Party for net year’s Golden Jubilee and may be an updated guide to Newnham.
The Street Fair was also granted some money by the Gloucestershire Market Towns Forum (GMTF) towards promoting Newnham’s economy, and we are looking to help increase visits from tourists by contributing towards some brown signs.
