On a rain
threaten Saturday in September the 25th held Malpas oldest fete. The
day starts nice and early, the team of supporters start to turn up and the area
is transformed from a quiet area of Newport into the
blast that makes a scout fete special.
Made up of
‘white elephant ‘, glass ware, toys books, DVD’s, bottles, hot dogs,
light refreshment, coconuts, fishing, games of skill and luck, plus a tins
store. There was something for all the family. At 14:00 we opened
the fete to the good people of Malpas , many old supporters waiting for the
doors to open and the fun to begin.
The afternoon progresses with coconuts won
and hotdogs eaten. It’s not as busy as most years, the much awaited raffle
takes place with many winning the top quality prizes all of which have been donated by the parents and residents of Malpas. We would like to thank Malpas Unionist Club
and Domino Pizzas for their very generous donations.
Now the team
turns its efforts to return the Church and Scout halls back to normal and the
area returns to the quiet setting that is Llanover Close.
Another
successful fete so a very BIG THANK YOU to everyone who worked so hard before
and during the day. Thanks from all the Committee and unformed adults, we can’t
do it with you.
