Feast Photos 2006
A day in the life of a village feast (click on pics to enlarge)
 |
 |
 |
 |
Inside
the marquee the large crowd is enjoying a Boogie Nights experience
... |
...
while in the Scout HQ a pig lies in an embarrassing position. |
Serious
men are working hard on preparing the meat for tomorrow. |
But
the marquee crowd continue regardless. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The
high quality food is finished
and while the crowd straggle happily home to their beds ... |
...
skilled men light the
fires for the pig roast. |
They
tend the fires all night, unseen by the village but creating the
essential spit roast. |
Morning
brings the ladies and their salad. Super-efficient washing with
Simon's patent salad washer ... |
 |
|
 |
 |
...
and long sessions chopping tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce. |
At
mid day the music begins ... |
with
the local history stall ... |
and
the Dunn Nutrition stall giving us things to do and talk about ... |
 |
 |
 |
|
...
while the cake stall is so tempting we have litle left after 2pm. |
Soon
after mid day the recreation ground comes to life. The Feast is
about to begin!
|
Roll
up to the WI Bottle Stall! |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Beat
the goalie! |
Play
on the Bouncy Castle! |
Colin
and Graham organise the It's a Knockout competition ... |
...
featuring this year Ladies in Pink. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
There's
a display of Austin 7s.... |
...
but Rod notices some folks just sit around enjoying the Swing Band. |
Little
'uns enjoy the small fairground rides ... |
...
and others enjoy the Knockout Teams ... |
 |
 |
|
 |
... getting
wet ... |
...
or pulling chariots around the arena. |
Who
won the chariot race? |
It
doesn't matter! We all had fun! |
And
then the tidying up.
Too tired to do more, we stagger away at the end of the day.
Job done. Skip full.
Till next year .
