Week St
Mary Bells marked the traditional start
of the Revel which was once again
blessed with perfect September weather,
still, sunny and mild. The crowds turned
out to welcome the new Harvest Queen,
Eloise Cartwright as accompanied by her
attendants, Mia Johns and Molly Webster
and her Crown Bearer, Ethan Webster; she
travelled down Week Green Hill on a
beautifully decorated Harvest float. The
procession was led by Jeanette Turner
who was Harvest Queen 47 years ago and a
number of Fancy Dress entrants – one of
them a dog - followed enthusiastically
behind.
On the playing field, MC Mike Goodman
co-ordinated a series of events which
have become traditional parts of the
Revel. These included the crowning of
the new Harvest Queen by the retiring
Queen, Kekezza Stripp, the presentation
of the Fancy dress prizes, the
presentation of medals to the visiting
Austin 7 Owners Club members and the
announcement of the winner of the
Scarecrow Festival held in August.
The ever popular Week St Mary Dog Show
followed and was this year enhanced by
an Agility Dogs demonstration led by
judge Emma Warneford. Revel Dog of the
year was Alfie Crocker –White. Many
thanks to Chris Warneford for organising
this important event once again.
The stalls, sideshows, games, teas and
barbecue were well supported and this
year shop owner, Jeff Roberts put on a
fine display of local foods with samples
of cheeses, chutneys, creams, butters,
bread, meat, vegetables and eggs all
available to try.
Winners of the competitions were
as follows:-
Fancy Dress: under 5 Will
Bacchus, 5-12 Tia Vanderlinden, 5-12
group Jade and Zara Turner.
Guess the Weight of the cake: Reverend
David Clark (6lb guessed, actual weight
5lbs 15 oz- there was a draw for first
place as Linda Ayres guessed 5lbs 14 oz)
Baby Photo competition: under 1 year
Lesley Booker with her photo of Emilia
Gray, 1-2 years Linda Cobbledick with
her photo of Connor Pugh.
Gardening competition: the cup for the
most points was won by Jeff Roberts.
Treasure Hunt: was won by Francis Rowe.
The Harvest Queen Eloise Cartwright
presented the Scarecrow Festival Trophy
to Jenny Parkin for raising the most
money at the recent festival with her
entry ‘Should have gone to Specsavers’.
After an admirable show of persistence,
Biggy Middleton eventually won BOTH
bottles of whisky from the bottle stall
and congratulations must go to Mrs Sue
Dickenson who with the help of her loyal
assistants raised £345 on this stall
alone.
By 4.30 the Parish Hall was very busy as
the Revel Tea got under way and as usual
there was plenty for everyone – a very
welcome end to the afternoon. Thank you
to everyone who helped in the kitchen
and with service.
In the evening, the field tents were
re-arranged to provide a sheltered party
area with music, a bar run by leaders
from Week St Mary Football Club, a
barbecue and roast meats. Finally Keith
Horrell presented a magnificent Fire
Sculpture with the theme ‘Bringing the
Harvest Home’ which was thoroughly
enjoyed by everyone.
The committee led by Trina Ward and
members of which include Hilda Axford,
Margaret Johns, Mike Goodman, Micheline
Smith, Len Davies and Lesley Booker
would like to give thanks to all those
who helped in whatever way, your efforts
will provide support to Week St Mary
community organisations, several of
which cannot survive without such fund
raising efforts.
The Revel Committee is planning a great
50th Anniversary of the Harvest Queen
celebration for next years Revel. They
are calling on all members of the
community who enjoy and benefit from the
Revel, to come forward with their new
ideas to enhance and continue this
successful and popular event.

Week St. Mary Revel Dog Show
2010
Once
again the weather was good for the 6th
Revel Dog Show with 25 dogs taking part.
Each dog was able to enter a maximum of
5 out of 7 classes with rosettes awarded
for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in each
class. The winner from each of the
classes went into a final to find ‘Revel
Dog of the Year 2010’. The event went
very smoothly with all the dogs behaving
well.
A big thank you to my daughter Emma
Warneford who did an excellent job as
judge and who also provided a
demonstration of Dog Agility, ably
assisted by Zoe and Sarah. Thank you to
all the participants who made the event
a success and enabled us to raise £65
towards the Revel Funds.
The ‘Revel Dog of the Year 2010’ was
‘Alfie’, a Sheltie/Poodle owned by
Brenda Crocker-White, which was a very
popular choice with the spectators. |
