ST

St. Leonard's church was holding its fete and asked the Club if we would put on a display. There was a wedding at the church during the afternoon, so it seemed a good idea to take weddings as our theme. So Sandra Aston plundered her collection of old wedding photos and Reg Aston found a lot of suitable old photos of Bilston and set up their displays, which stayed there all of Saturday and Sunday.

Luckily the weather was fine - the excessive heat and closeness accompanied by occasional storms, which we had all suffered from in previous days, ameliorated.

By the time your reported managed to get there things were in full swing. Outside the church were jumble stalls and raffles ...

... not to mention a master of ceremonies who not only sang but also ...

... introduced a local line dancing team who gave a great performance ...

... which not everyone could be prevented from joining in.

Are line dancers the new morris dancers?

And the stalls continued to do a roaring trade. Your reporter somehow managed to acquire two packets of soap and a model of a Dulux dog. But these things can't be helped.
