Well Done Cromer Road !!
Well the July weather we wanted didn't come until late in the day, but my word a huge well done to everyone who came to this years Summer Fair. Despite the rain we had a record attendance just shy of 700 people (you crazy lot !) In addition the stall holders and food vendors all reported a healthy afternoons business so fantastic work all round.
The raffle was drawn at the end of the day and our winners should now have been contacted by CRSA reps about claiming their prize.
The CRSA bean counters are still finalising the total amount raised so watch this space for further news.
A special thanks to all those traders, volunteers and helpers who braved the rain during the fair setup in the morning.
