New Romney Country Fayre 2019

Decision Maker: Ward Member for New Romney (1)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

New Romney Country Fayre 2019 – publicity and programme printing.  This is a free non-profit making community event paid for by committee fundraising, sponsorship and programme advertising and sales. It attracts visitors to our Town and District from all over the south-east region and therefore promotes the area as a whole.

 

Local youth organisations and charities, as well as national charities have stalls at the Fayre, which enables them to fund raise for their individual causes.  Over the past 24 years, the Country Fayre has helped these groups and charities raise more than one hundred thousand pounds.  We know that people regularly plan their summer holidays to coincide with the Fayre, such is its popularity.

 

Decision:

To provide funding of £500 to the above project.

 

 

Reason for decision:

 

This year, the Fayre celebrates its 25th Anniversary and has grown in size over these years.  The event takes place over two sites, has two arenas of entertainment and 120 stalls to suit all tastes, including crafts, produce games etc. A parade through the town starts the day off with around 400 people taking part.  The Fayre is supported by local traders, the town’s three churches and the Old School Trust, all of these are open to visitors on the day.

 

The whole community is brought together for the Country Fayre and it truly is a “Community event revitalising community spirit” and an event for the town to be proud of.
