GROUND CREW(S):

Over  the past eleven years or so, Staple's Country & Craft Fayres have grown so large and complex that both the Fayre Committee and the 'non-committee', working together would still be unable to manage!

So we use a 'Ground Crew'.

These hard-working individuals carry out the majority of the physical hard work involved in the setting up and packing away of the Fayre; as well as acting as marshalls, traffic managers, gofers - - -  in fact anything and everything that's needed.

We were extremely fortunate - because the very first Ground Crew we used turned out to be absolutely brilliant!  It's no exaggeration to say that without them, the Fayres simply could not  have been been staged.

We have been fortunate to have several groups act as our ground crew, including The Wingham Explorers (Wingham Wizards Explorer Unit) and the Broadstairs Explorers ( Broadstairs Vikings Explorer Unit).

For the 2025 Fayre our ground crew will be The Concept FC Footballers.
