| Vintage vehicle display |
Judging by the number of cars in the vicinity of Acton Village Hall yesterday afternoon, record crowds were drawn to the annual fete.
In addition to the usual stalls, a car boot sale area proved popular as did the opportunity for dogs to participate in a full agility course. The playgroup was well represented with a stall and there were opportunities to buy plants from Acton Garden Club.
County councillor Colin Spence recently donated locality money towards the creation of a proper Boules terrain on the playing fields. Unfortunately this was not ready in time for the fete, but nonetheless the promoters of the new Acton club were on hand to introduce the game to beginners and to attract old hands.

| A tense moment |
I enjoyed having a go, playing a tense needle match with District Councillor for Acton Margaret Maybury. I will not reveal the result since the uneven nature of the grass and the mutual ineptitude of the participants meant that the outcome was more indicative of the vagaries of chance than anything else!
It is hoped to start regular evening sessions once the new terrain is finished. If you are interested in taking part you should contact the organiser, Sandy Ross, on 01787 379741, alex.g.ross@btopenworld.com. Sandy lives in Vicarage Lane.
