Staple Recreation Ground - Mill Lane CT3 1LB
n.b. The 2020 Staple Country Fayre has been CANCELLED
THE 2021 FAYRE CREW:
The planning and organising of every Fayre is carried out by the Staple Country & Craft Fayre Committee. But without masses of help from a dedicated group of ‘non-committee’ individuals, the Fayres would never get off the ground!
This small army of helpers has been made up of much the same group of
individuals for many years; although recently, we’ve added a few new members / lost a few members. The 2021 crew are:
Rex, Georgie & Their Team:
Rex and Georgie are invaluable members of the ‘non-committee team’ - and every year they and their team provide manpower, parking facilities, pre-event publicity, equipment and a great deal more.
Val Bartlett, Mary Harrison and Janet Alwright:
Val and her team man the Crafts & Gifts Stall. Val is also in charge of fee-paying stalls and makes sure that there’s a wide and varied range of attractions on offer at the scores of craft stalls around the arena.
Jo Bennett, Billy Morgan, Nicky Phelan & Friends:
Jo, Billy, Nicky and co. man one of the Fayre’s most successful and profitable attractions: the barbecue.
Nick Coulson & Friends: Run the popular (and profitable!) Beer Tent.
Trevor Bartlett, Andy Ragett, Pat Heathfield & Team:
Collectively, these are our ‘Refreshment Crew’ - and every year, their invaluable help ensures that The Refreshment Hall (an integral part of every Fayre); is one of the most successful and profitable elements of the Fayre.
Aiden McCollum: Helps with setting up the field / liaising with Broadstairs Explorers.
Dave Kirk: Organises the P.A. facilities, and helps with marking out the field.
Sheila Forster and Lyndsey Andrews: Run The Produce Stall.
Richard & Bonnie Barber: Every year Richard and Bonnie run the Bowl for a Pig stall.
