F(airly) A(wful) I(nclement) R(ubbish) Weather News

After much deliberation and extensive consultation with seaweed toting experts the decision has been made to postpone the Summer fair until ....the Summer.

As is often the case I got it completely wrong, blogging last week how the weather looked set to be fair when really it is going to rain and blow tempestuously. We will re-arrange the fair and we will let you all know as soon as we have agreed a new date so please don't worry, there will be opportunities yet to hook a duck, smash a plate or even adopt a Teddy, just not this Saturday.

Non school uniform day is going ahead and we will be holding a cake sale and mini cafe after school tomorrow. Anyone who has painted a stone or made a mini garden these will still be judged. The blind auction is also still going ahead as scheduled so please return your completed bidding forms as soon as possible.

Those of you who have kindly volunteered to help, your time will be greatly appreciated once we have confirmed the new date.

Fayre's Fair?

At POWSA Towers this morning there was a tangible excitement in the air as the little munchkins devoured their cornflakes and we oldies embraced yet another warming morning cuppa and settled down to discuss our favourite subject. Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen it was the weather and not just the weather in general but the specific weather that was being unveiled on the long range forecast that very morning. 

You've guessed by now it was the first day that the weather for the Summer Fair was shown on the BBC website, a day when Punxsutawney Phil could take it easy and we mere mortals could begin furtively sneaking glances at our devices to check the weather for THE social event of the Summer. So get out your devices and log on now, the 21st is showing as being quite warm, maybe a bit cloudy but no rain at the moment, a fine day for watching those running around and playing football or netball or eating ice lollies and burgers. May I also mention you could be munching on candyfloss, hooking a duck (not a real duck, that would be cruel), painting some jars or smashing some plates, helping re-home a once loved Teddy (aah) or even picking up a bargain bike or a scooter.

Once again our thanks go out to Brace of Butchers who are kindly supplying the burgers and sausages, helping re-iterate the farm to fork ethos that we all enjoy and ensuring that the burgers and hot dogs are pretty darn tasty.

This also means there's little time left to start to plan your miniature gardens or select your stones for painting, there are prizes in each age group and competition is bound to be strong (I am painting a miniature garden on my stone, 1 entry but double the chances of winning)

The Fair starts at 11am with the football and netball tournaments getting into full swing and will finish by 2pm with the winners presentations. We hope you will all join us for a great day and just in case you haven't got the hint it's in big black letters below.
