Local MP Steve Brine was on hand to officially open the Micheldever Fete this afternoon, Saturday 18 July 2015.
The village put on its usual huge effort to raise funds for St Mary's Church including; a grand draw, an auction, a dog show, BobKart racing, brass band, tug of war and even Sumo wrestling!
Steve attended with his family including wife Susie and children; Emily, William plus Popcorn the dog. As well as opening the event just after half-past-one, the MP and his kids handed out rosettes from the BobKart races and even spent time serving at the bar.
Speaking from the event he said; "I really enjoy this event and it's one we always attend so it was a special treat to open it this year. It has to be said, I've opened a few fete's in the past five years but to do one with the support of a fly-past from nearby Popham was a first for me!
"Well done to the organising committee but especially to David Mason who has only recently moved to the village and taken on the chairmanship."
