On Sunday 14th June, a glorious sunny day, the village of Hankelow held its annual fete. Each year all monies raised in the raffle is donated to charity.
In recognition of one of the villagers, Mr. Tom Bourne, who has been living with Motor Neurone Disease since October 2001 the organisers decided this year to donate 50% of the proceeds from the raffle totaling £500 to the Cheshire Branch of the MND Association.
Organisers allowed the Branch to run a stall free of charge at the fete, which was manned by members and friends of the Branch, and £55 was raised from the crafts and quality items sold.
The fete was very well attended with stalls selling a range of goods from plants to cakes. There were also activities for the children (and parents) including maypole dancing by Audlem St James School, Musiclands young musicians, and Cheshire Academy Gymnastics. Last but not least there was the 50 yard dash for young and old.
