Village Voice August/September 2012 | Page 12

organised on behalf of the Village Hall Committee by Jill Buss. The children of the two villages were then presented with commemorative mugs kindly donated by the McCowen family. Whilst the adults were eating a magnificent feast , the children were entertained by the great Juggling Jake . You will be delighted to know that he will be joining us again for the Bighton and Gundleton Village Fete on Sunday 9th September, so if you haven't already put it in your diary, do so now! And so finally, it comes to the Thank Yous. This party couldn't have happened without all of you. It was lovely that so many people made the effort to come and we can only hope that you enjoyed it as much as we all did. We can't thank everybody personally - so thank you all - but we do feel that there should be two special mentions. Firstly, a massive thank you to the McCowen family for their generosity and secondly, none of this could happen without Bob Ellis. He works tirelessly on behalf of the village whether supporting the church, the Fete or events like the Big Lunch. Bob, we can't ever thank you and Sally enough. Ali, Dom and Helen Local resident Carolyn Prior said, “It was lovely to catch up with friends. It was a day to remember!” As the party drew to an end it was lovely to see so many people pulling together in true community spirit.
