Village Fete 1994

The Village Fete - Summer 1994

 

 
The 1994 village fete was held in the garden of  Mask Cottage courtesy of Charlie and Ginney James. The idea was a sound one as back then Mask Cottage Racing Stables were in full operation, so as well as enjoying the fete, it gave those interested in Racing and Race Horses, the chance to get up close to some true racing thorughbreds
I particularly like this set of photos, which incidentally, arrived on my desk courtesy of Dawn and Chris Tonge, because whom-so-ever the photographer was, concentrated his or her attention heavily on people. Nothing tells a story better than the actions and re-actions of people.

To those of us that were there on the day - I hope very much that you have enjoyed looking back on the event - and also found a few moments to reflect on the many old friends within the pictures, who sadly, for one reason or another - are no longer with us.
