Support Your Local Community ~ Come to GinPit’s Annual Summer Fete… it’s a blast!
Congratulations to Gin Pit Residents Association for a magnificent Village Fete. The weather was great as was the turn out. Crowds of people enjoyed a great family day out in the sunshine.
The event was well organised and well marshaled. We did not experience the parking and traffic problems of last year, everyone seemed to have a really good time.
The shows put on by the Lincoln County Regulators were loud and exciting. Even Elvis turned up in a faulous 1959 Cadilac.
Part one:
All in all it was a record breaking day, the crowds were bigger than ever, and though the final figures are not yet in, it is clear we raised more money than ever before.
My thanks go to all who worked so hard to make the day one to remember!
