Barrel Fair
WESTLETON BARREL FAIR COFFEE MORNING AND CHILDRENS
CHRISTMAS PARTY
The Annual Coffee morning will take place on Saturday
3rd December between 10.30 and noon in the Village Hall.
Coffee and Mince pies will be served. Everybody welcome to come
along and see the photos and accounts, to offer help for next year
etc.
In the afternoon we
will be holding the Christmas Party for all Westleton and Middleton
School Children from 3.00 to 5.00. Grandchildren very welcome as
well. A list will be put in the Village Shop or phone 648378 to
give names.
Now seems an
appropriate time to remind you all of the objectives of the Barrel
Fair. First and foremost an enjoyable day on the 19th
August for all the Village and visitors. This is a very full day
and needs lots of preparation. We, the Committee, are very
conscious of our limitations and desperately seek help in any shape
or form leading up to and on the day. If you feel you could help
please leave your name on the list at the Coffee Morning or phone
either Arlette 648378 or Paul 648678 to offer your
services.
The money raised on
the day is used within the village for many purposes to help and
enhance the village. In the past we have donated to the Village
Hall, Community Field, Middleton School, Youth Group, Archivists,
Firework display. We maintain financially the work done by the
gardeners club and Nick Shearme at the War memorial and also the
tubs around the village. Some of the tubs are to be replaced this
year together with the posts around the War Memorial. We have
marquees available for use within the village free of charge and to
borrow these please phone Paul 648378. The Committee are always
pleased to consider requests for financial assistance within the
village so please do ask.
One more date for
your diaries - we are organising a 40’s themed party on Saturday
25th February. This will be in the Village Hall between
about 3.30 and 6.00 and will have live 40’s music with Tyler/Kemp
and a supper. The event is to be for the older members of the
Village to thank them for their continued support of the Barrel
fair. More details will be published after Christmas.
WESTLETON BARREL FAIR SUNDAY
21ST
AUGUST 2011
The fun of the Barrel Fair begins on Wednesday 17th with the ever
popular Music Quiz hosted by Doc Cox in the White Horse. Teams of
4ish very welcome and the quizzing usually begins about 8.30 p.m.
There are loads of amazing prizes to be won so if you know a little
(or a lot) about music come along and join in. On Thursday
18th a film will be screened on the Village Green (if
raining in the Village Hall). The title of the film has not yet
been decided but come along and enjoy a picnic and glass of wine on
the Village Green. The film will be screened from approx. 9.00 p.m.
We will then have Friday off to prepare for the big
weekend.
On Saturday 20th in the car park by the White
Horse the evening will begin with a disco for the chilldren hosted
by our own popular DJ Damian. This will begin around 6.30.
Following this the first heats of the Westletons Got Talent show
will be held. If you would like to enter please phone Carole 01728
648921. Single and duo performances only please as space does not
allow for larger groups. There is a junior and adult section with
trophies for each section and certificates for all
contestants.
We are delighted to have as our band this year BUCKSHEE,
one of the most versatile groups of musicians locally. They play a
wide repertoire of music including Irish, Cajun, bluegrass, swing,
rock and roll and much more. They are bound to get you up dancing,
so come along and join in on Saturday 20th. The final of
the Talent Show will take place in the music interval.
Barrel Fair day begins at 11.00 a.m. with a procession led
by the Town crier and hopefully lots of children in fancy dress.
Rob Dunger from Radio Suffolk has offered to open the day for us
and we are delighted of his continued support. Radio Suffolk will
also have a stand for you to visit, they seem to like coming to the
Barrel fair as much as like having them. After the judging of the
Fancy Dress by Rob Dunger the much acclaimed Barrel Race between
the 2 local hostleries The White Horse and The Crown will take
place. This is a very tense race and causes much excitement amongst
the supporters.
During the day there will be more Barrel Races and other
races for children and adults.
Numerous craft and food outlets will be available.
Throughout the day Wayne Burns will be doing his Punch and Judy
Show, The Royal Hospital Band will be playing, Rumburgh Morris
Dancers, new this year a Childrens petting corner, donkey rides,
laser chamber, assault course and many more games to entertain you
throughout the day. All the money we raise is put back into the
village or local primary school. The Barrel Fair Committee look
forward to welcoming you to the Barrel Fair this
year.

WEA Dunwich
& Westleton Branch
The Workers’ Educational Association is a charity registered
in England and Wales (number 1112775) and in Scotland (number
SC039239) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England
and Wales (number 28069 10).
W.E.A
The Workers Educational Association is the UK’s largest
provider of adult education in the voluntary sector. It was founded
in 1903 in order to support the educational needs of working men
and women who could not afford access to further or higher
education. As the state provision of education grew so the function
of the WEA changed. It now runs over 10,000 courses each year and
reaches over 80,000 adults of all ages and educational
back-grounds.
Courses fall into three main categories:
Community Involvement These courses are for people who
want to develop their skills and knowledge in order to play a
fuller role in their community. The most common courses are in
crafts and creative arts, computer skills, health, family learning
and courses for people involved in running clubs, societies and
trade union branches.
Cultural Studies Courses for people who want to learn
more in order to increase their understanding of particular
subjects and share ideas with others. The most popular broad
subject areas are art, history, literature and science.
Second Chance to Learn Thousands of people have joined
WEA courses as a first step back into education through courses in
literacy, numeracy, computer skills and study skills.
The Dunwich/Westleton Branch of the WEA comes under Cultural
Studies. It is one of the strongest branches in the
Eastern Region and meets at Westleton Village Hall, usually on
Thursday afternoons. In the last nine years we have run forty
courses. Past courses have included - The Life and Times of Thomas
Gainsborough, History of Jazz, Understanding Art, Orford Ness,
Astronomy for Beginners, The Lost City of Dunwich, Introduction to
Archaeology, The Geology of Westleton Common. The War- time
Defences of Walberswick, The Wuffings, The Sutton Hoo Treasure.
