The Blue & Gold Trust had a car boot stall, a football based stall and BBQ at Middleton Fete yesterday as part of the Jubilee celebrations & in the process raised a net amount of £223.
A Massive Well done to all involved and all who supported.
A Great Fundraising Weekend.

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984

If the weather was anything like it was down here, they are lucky to raise anything.  Why do some people try to put down the efforts of others, I take it from your remark Rosie you did not go. If you did I apologies, You see from that I'm no better than no man and no man's better than me.

It was an ironic reference to a comment on another thread, Somerset.

Marcus is a Trust member and a big supporter of our activities.

The event yesterday was not aimed at Trust members, being a village fete. The Trust runs the village Youth Club and it gave us the opportunity to spread the word and raise a few quid as well.
Its surprising what you can achieve if you don't mind who takes the credit.

As I said I am not to big to apologize, all power to your elbow Rosie, being down here I am out of the main stream. Anyone who raises money for a good cause deserves credit.
Just as pre-curser you did'nt go to Gaywood park by any chance.
