The kid’s school had their fete on the weekend and as expected we spent over 12 hours helping on Friday and Saturday.
But it was FUN!
Unlike many schools that have an annual fete our school has a fete once every three years. In theory this means that it can be bigger and better, and we don’t over use all the helpers. This seems to work, even though the school yard does not seem large enough to hold it all.
They had bottle, cake and food stores, they had raffles, luck dips and ring toss everything that any good school fete has.
But the thing I loved was the small medieval torney. One of the teachers is a member of a club that constructs and ‘Fights’ with medieval armour and weapons. Just for the record Bred, ‘Lord Red’, the teacher won the contest.
Of course everyone got into the spirit of things, as you can see by the school’s Principal.
