Brook Fete 2010
This year a large number of enquiries were received from outside stall
holders many of which translated into bookings so there were an even greater
variety of attractions. A dry and warm day coupled with the festival at
the Dog and Pheasant for the second year brought attendees from midday onwards.
In fact, there were so many people that the car park and overflow on the
triangle were full and traffic backed up either side of Brook for several
hundred yards.
Children were well catered for with rides, whilst parents could browse the
stalls. The Pirrie Market ran for the third year selling delicious sauces,
home-made preserves, fresh fruit and more. The Grand Draw sold more tickets
than ever and the barbecue, Pimms tent, tea tent, cake and ice cream stalls
did a roaring trade. The usual tombola, bric-a-brac, books, bottle hoop-la,
plants and dog show proved as popular as ever. Surrey Fire and Rescue provided
a fire appliance and the Police came with a patrol car whilst the vintage
cars showed up in greater numbers (and value) than ever before.
The fete was reckoned to be another resounding success with bumper takings
to support the continued refurbishment (there are some expensive works to
pay for) of The Pirrie Hall.

Christmas Tree Lighting 2009
The Christmas tree lighting took place on 27th November and was a great success. The rain held off though the field was rather wet and muddy in places but this did not deter the more adventurous children from exploring the field with the aid of torches. More people than ever attended and this year we had the pleasure of the King Edward’s School Choir leading the carols accompanied by a keyboard. The event was opened by Clr. Steve Dale and the Rev. Anne Fraser gave a short lesson on the meaning of the event as well as blessing the tree and leading the carols. Afterwards, mulled wine and mince pies were enjoyed in the warmth of the hall. The tree is a gift from Witley Parish Council and the refreshments provided by Witley Parish Council and The Dog and Pheasant to whom we are indebted for their generosity. The tree lighting is an integral part of Brook and Sandhills life and provides an opportunity for children to enjoy themselves in the spirit of the season, adults to meet friends and give us all a chance to reflect.
