Not far from the Mayor of Ock Street celebrations, featured yesterday, Carwell School Summer Fete was happening. It began rainy, but soon brightened up.
The Deputy Head was in the stocks, having wet sponges thrown at him by pupils, parents, and in this case by a school governor by the name of Ann Bittleston.
I gambled 50p on the Carswell Human Fruit Machine but an apple and two pineapples was not a winning combination.
The fete is organised by the Friends of Carwell School, formerly known as the PTA, to get extra funds for the school.
St Edmunds also had a fete in the afternoon.
