Sunday 1st July – come and find our stall at Holywell School Fête – we will be running some games this year.  Fun for all!  We hope to have “garden” type games – giant Connect 4 and giant Snakes and Ladders!  Also we will have boules for you to have a go at. The Fête begins at 11am and goes on until about 2 or 3pm.

Saturday 14th July – Bastille Day in Ferques – We’ll be having a stall at the street fair in Ferques as usual this year.  We will be plying everyone with English food and beverages, plus we will sell good quality, donated items to raise some funds.  This event is well worth a visit as part of a day out and to see if you can pick up any bargains on the other stalls!   If you have any items that would be suitable for our stall, do let us know – we can collect if required.  See you there, hopefully!

Saturday 25th August. 2012 – Sports Day – The annual Sports Day will be in Ferques this year.   We will be arranging a coach so think about a day out with lots of sporty fun in France that day, plus food will be available. Cost of a seat on the coach will only be £10.  This is always most enjoyable and well supported so register your interest as soon as possible – seats have been booked already!  We hope that both individuals and Upchurch organisations will take an active part, or just come along to observe and cheer on!

7th October – Anniversary Event – We hope to have an outing to Chatham Historic Dockyard, to include a meal at their restaurant.  A coach load of Ferques residents will be coming over the water to join us. Watch this space!
