The annual fete is being held this year on Saturday, June 7, on the Croft Recreation Ground, and Mrs. Peake, of Hill Farm, Boxford, who has supported the Council so nobly in the past, has kindly consented to perform the opening ceremony.

It is vitally important this year that the fete should be an overwhelming success, as with the cost of the Pavilion looming up, it is essential that the Council raises sufficient money to pay its share. There will be the usual attractions and the presence of the Long Melford Silver Band will in itself be enough to ensure a pleasant afternoon, provided the weather is reasonably kind.

Although plans are well advanced, many more helpers are required and volunteers are asked to get in touch with the chairman of the fete, Mr. G. A. Farrow, of 6 Brook Hall Road, Boxford, telephone Boxford 570.
