Welbourn Church Fete

 

Stephen Phillips QC MP dropped in to Welbourn Church Fête at the weekend to help raise funds for St. Chad's and the other churches in the deanery. With appalling weather forecast for the event, those present basked in the sunshine whilst rain clouds skirted the village until the fête was over. Villagers enjoyed traditional English games, a surfeit of tea and cakes and even the odd glass of Pimms! Stephen singularly failed to 'splat the rat' but at least avoided the absent stocks and took great pleasure in drawing the raffle for some wonderful prizes generously donated by Welbourn residents. Speaking after the event, he said, 'It's always an enormous pleasure for me to drop in to fêtes across the constituency, particularly when God has been as kind to us as he has with the weather today. I can only assume that Alan Megahey must have had a word with him and promised a good sermon tomorrow!"
