Brandeston Fete 2011 - Posters Competition

As part of the advertising for next year's fete, we want to put lots of posters on show in the Street. The style can be either of a conventional poster (there's no need to include the date and time as we'll overprint them later) or your artistic impressions of a fete. The images have to be A4 in size and can be a painting, drawing or whatever. All entries will be laminated and put up in the Street in the run up to the fete. There are three age groups: Under 11; 12 to 18; adult. There will be a prize in each category and the best ones will be reproduced as advertising for the fete. Enter as many times as you like. So if you or your children are bored in the summer hols, this is something that can keep you occupied. The deadline is 1 October 2010 and completed entries can be sent to Fete Posters, The Yews, Brandeston or left at the Queen's Head or the Coffee Morning.

The Country Trust and the Brandeston

The village newsletter, the Brandeston, is sponsored by The Country Trust whose objectives include:

  • offering children wider horizons
  • bringing alive the countryside as a place of work
  • educating children and teachers with firsthand experiences of sustainable farming, forestry, food production, sound husbandry and care of the environment
  • identifying future job prospects
  • working towards reducing crime and antisocial behaviour by giving young people a fuller meaning to their lives, enhancing their appreciation of and respect for others.

Hearing Loop Installed

With grateful thanks to The National Lottery through its Big Lottery Fund, the village hall has been awarded funding to install a hearing loop around the main hall. Its installation will allow people to hear much better whenever amplified sound is used by switching their hearing aids to the T position.

There is now easier access to the BRANDESTON Blog.

Some restrictions still apply but there is no longer any need to register.
