9th September 2007, Leckhampton Court Sue Ryder Care Centre

As every year, this year’s Leckhampton Court Autumn Fayre was a great day of family fun. It included craft and food stalls, fun fair, tarot readings, refreshment and bar, raffle, live jazz band performance, music, dance and artwork display.

The Fayre was officially opened at 11 am by the Mayor, Cllr John Rawson, who was introduced by the Town Crier, Ken Brightwell. After the opening came the performance by Cheltenham Swinging Squares Dance Club, followed by intriguing magical tricks of Mr Jinks the Magician. At the refreshment bar situated in front of the Day Hospice Brickhouse Jazz Band & Kevin O’Brien entertained the visitors.

At the rear of the Day Hospice, wood sculptor Tom Harvey armed with his chain saw was creating yet another great tree sculpture giving visitors the insight into the creative process of wood carving. At 12.30 pm Whisper and Shout Puppett Show entertained children with their stories from African mythology. The Coady Crew gave a great performance of street dancing followed by Fillipo the Clown. Other performances included Salsa dancing, martial arts and morris dancing. The weather turned sunny in the afternoon and everybody enjoyed the great day.
