Family Fun at Winnersh Village Fete June 2009
Hundreds of Winnersh residents had a fun afternoon on Saturday 20th June at the Winnersh Village Fete 2009. The children’s favourites included the Circus Workshop, Megaslide and Jousting Pole and the face painters were kept busy throughout the four hours of the fete and beyond.
Most voluntary groups based in Winnersh were represented as well as national charities with a local connection. Entertainment was provided by the Saint Sebastian’s Brass Band, maypole dancers from Bearwood Primary School and the Hurst Handbell Ringers. Rock ‘N’ Roll dancers and a Kung Fu demonstration by the CWK club added variety to the programme.
The fete ended with the very popular LEAD Dog Agility display followed by the draw of the Grand Raffle by the Mayor of Wokingham Borough, Cllr Barrie Patman.
Many Winnersh residents commented that the fete had a “really friendly atmosphere”. Despite the threat of showers the afternoon stayed fine and even more people came than last year.
The fete was organised by Winnersh Parish Council and Chairman, Cllr John Southgate, said “Last year we organised the first fete in Winnersh since 1976. It was such a success that we felt that we had to follow up with a fete again this year and I hope that it will become an annual event. The primary aim was to get people in Winnersh together for an enjoyable afternoon, but we were also able to make quite a lot of money for local charities and voluntary groups. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and many said that they wanted to come again next year.”

Go Ahead for Outdoor Gym June 2009
An “outdoor gym” will be installed at the Bearwood Recreation Ground in the next
few weeks now that the project has been given the go-
The recreation ground already has a wide range of equipment for young people and Cllr John Wakefield suggested that we should also provide something for the older people.
He found examples of successful projects for “older people’s exercise equipment” which, on further investigation, we found could be a great asset for people of almost all ages.

The benefits of getting people to take more exercise are widely recognised and the outdoor gym will provide an easy and convenient way for people to start. The project will be jointly funded by the Borough and Parish Councils and should be up and running in early August.
The Circus Workshop kept children (and some adults) amused
The Dog Agility display was popular
with everyone
The Winnersh Village Fete held on 20th June 2009 provided a very enjoyable afternoon for many Winnersh residents. The weather held up and even more people than last year attended.
