News From The
Pumpkin Patch
This Year's Fair was held on
24th September 2011.
Dear Friends of the Pumpkin Fair,
Our theme for 2011 was ‘Celebrating British Food’ and we had many stalls and displays reflecting this. The Rt. Hon. Jim Paice M.P. opened the fair, and we celebrated the 5th Anniversary of Soham being twinned with Andrézieux-Bouthéon. we also had a packed programme of arena events, including Ferret Racing, Morris Dancing, as well as our usual displays from Soham Fenlander Majorettes and our local schools.
This year, we raised money for the Soham Guide and Scout Hut Fund, Soham Over Sixties Club and Soham Community Support Scheme. (If you would like to be considered as a beneficiary next year please e- mail us at office@sohampumpkinfair.co.uk)
As with all events the cost of putting on the Pumpkin Fair always goes up and anyone who would like to sponsor the event or parts of it are welcome to call or email me with their ideas.
We would like to thank our supporters for this year, they included Radio Cambridgeshire, Cambridge Building Society, Pooley,Bendall and Watson and G’s to name a few
Without the hard work and support of the Committee and our volunteers, we would not be able to stage such a fair and I would like to say thank you to all of them for all their time they give up so freely so the Fair carries on. If you would like to become a member of the committee or just help on the day please get in contact with us via the e mail address.
