Stubbington Fayre 2003.

August bank holiday marked the climax of the many months hard work and planning that had gone into this years Stubbington Fayre. The day started at 6:00am with the marking out of the pitches, setting up of the arena and many other tasks that had to be performed before the stall holders and public arrived.

Opened by the mayor of Fareham, Stubbington Fayre proved another huge success, a large number of charities and voluntary organisations benefited from a fantastic attendance and a great family day out. A few of the many events included Train Rides, Children's play areas, a fun fair, arena events, over 100 stalls, games and displays, refreshments, street procession and classic cars. The Donkey Derby was as popular as ever with the places filled very early on.

The only dampener on the day was the circulation of a number of forged £20 notes by persons unknown, a very cowardly and mindless act given that most of the recipients were charities. Many thanks to Fareham Police who provided a fantastic response and support. If anyone has any information regarding this please contact Fareham Police.
