Around 1950 Christmas Bazaars were held in the Church Institute on Wednesday afternoons, perhaps to coincide with half-day closing. By 1955, when Gerald Lane was vicar, the Church Magazine was advertising the Holly-Berry Fair, which took place on a Saturday.

Can you remember back to the 1950s? What were the early fairs like? Audrey Robinson and Pam Dawe kindly lent us photographs which were displayed in the Village Hall exhibition in June.

Do you have any memories or photographs of previous Hollyberry Fairs to share with us, so that we could prepare a leaflet and display for November next year? Please come to the Fair this year and tell me what you recall. Mary Nobbs
