CALDECOTE Heritage Open Days 2010

PRESS RELEASE

Caldecote Church Friends enjoyed another successful Fuchsia Festival on July 10th and 11th. 
This tiny redundant church, hidden away in rural North Hertfordshire, was again the venue for an enjoyable day out for the community.
The flowers, arranged by the Beds and Herts Fuchsia Society, looked beautiful and drew envious comments from gardeners.
The weather was warm and sunny, visitors came in a steady flow, the homemade scones with jam and cream sold like hot cakes (!) and it really was a most enjoyable event.

All members of the small committee were involved in preparing and maintaining the welcome stand and the refreshment tent, with the help of loyal supporters.

Pre-publicity was effective, and the visitors came not only from the local area, but from far afield – even one from South Africa!    Although numbers were somewhat down from previous occasions, since many other local events were taking place on the same days, the Friends made a nett profit of over £800.00,
all of which will go towards the cost of  several minor refurbishments and one major repair (the tower roof) still to be done.
