| I can't quite remember whether it is 15 or 16 years ago that I joined a group of people to decide that instead of St Mary's Church having its annual fete, the people of Kennington could have a Village Fayre at which local charities could have stalls, and raise money for their causes. |
| And over the years the Fayre has grown and prospered. This year was no exception: more organisations than ever participated and the weather was extremely kind. There was a lovely variety of arena events, starting with the Junior School maypole dancers, and our very own church choir sang a medley of well-known songs. |
| The compere did a wonderful job keeping everyone informed about what was happening on the stalls and in the arena, so nobody - even as far afield as Grasmere Road - missed anything. |
| I mustn't forget to mention the great work done by Phil Sims and his gallant band of helpers who worked through the preceding week getting the field marked up and ready. And his work throughout the year chairing meetings to make sure everything came together on the day. |
| Finally, our own stall holders worked unstintingly throughout a long, hot and tiring day to raise the magnificent sum in excess of £900 for church funds. In fact, a good time was had by all! |

Earlier this month Friends of the church visited Aylesford Priory and its gardens by the River Medway. After a bite to eat in the grounds, Evensong in St. Joseph's Chapel brought the day to a close. Photos from Derek Sorrell.

This year Kennington had perfect weather for the well attended annual fayre! Strawberries and cream, lots of stalls manned by the community and rides for the children added up to a very pleasant afternoon.
