For many years, Batchworth Sea Scouts, in conjunction with the Rickmansworth Society, have arranged the May Fair, on the Bury (behind St. Marys Church off Bury Lane) in partnership with the Rickmansworth Society. The May Fair is traditionally the opening event of Rickmansworth Week when a procession of floats makes its way through Rickmansworth to the Bury where stalls selling l
ocal
goods, refreshments and music are available as the carnival princess is
crowned.This year we are celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and we’re hoping some of the floats and exhibits may be able to adopt this as a theme.
Entry to the May Fair on the Bury is free and everyone is welcome, there are small rides for children, a BBQ, tea tent and beer tent, something for all ages. The event is formally opened at 2pm with the crowning of Miss Ricky but most of the stalls and entertainment are open from 1:30pm.
We will need help with making cakes for the tea tent – Sponge cakes, chocolate cakes and fairy cakes.
Additionally, we need help with moving equipment from our headquarters on Riverside Dive to the Bury from 9am. We also need help with setting up the stalls at the Bury, manning the tents and help to clear away when everything finishes between 4pm and 5pm.
If you are able to help, please contact Narinder on batchworth@narinder.org or 07595 617598.
