title The Brome and Oakley Village Fête, Brome Hall, Suffolk - 13th July 2024 intro It's the annual Brome and Oakley summer fête, held once again in the grounds of the former Brome Hall. As last year, Nosher and Fred are vaguely helping out on the bottle stall, whilst Isobel is doing much of the compéring for the first time. There's also a new photography competition, where 12 winning photos out of 50 or so entered are to be used for an up-coming Brome and Oakley Village Life calendar. Nosher actually wins a couple of spots as well as the main cover photo, along with a nice little stash of Cocoa Mama chocolates. imgp4029 The K6 phone box on Brome Street imgp4030 Harry has a go on the bottle stall imgp4032 John wins a bottle of wine imgp4036 Pippa's running a dog competition imgp4037 Harry roams around imgp4038 The dogs are doing a biscuit-catching challenge imgp4042 Apple's dog catches a biscuit imgp4050 The winning dog runs away imgp4054 Sue and Tony's cric-a-brac stall imgp4055 Tony looks over his stash imgp4057 Fred's scored a bottle of Coca-Cola imgp4060 Isobel does some compéring imgp4062 Pippa lays out sacks for the sack race imgp4066 The sack race kicks off imgp4079 Gizmo the dog gets a rosette imgp4083 There's more action on the bottle stall imgp4084 Nigel chats to some dog people imgp4086 Some of the commercial stalls at the fete imgp4088 Someone's found a toad somewhere imgp4090 A small toad on a hand imgp4097 Gizmo really doesn't want to comply imgp4106 Pippa tries to show Gizmo what to do imgp4108 There's a big queue for the barbeque imgp4109 Christopher's won a huge stash of random drinks imgp4112 Fred and Sophie do the wooden ski walk thing imgp4123 Sophie and Fred show off their medals imgp4136 There's a women's team going nowhere imgp4142 A lads team gets the hang of it imgp4147 An old couple head off down Brome Hall's drive imgp4148 Chatting by the village hall's bar imgp4158 Another sack race occurs imgp4166 There's a nice open-top Austin parked up imgp4177 Three birds sit in a dead tree imgp4187 The Hoxon Hundred do their thing imgp4205 Morris dancing near the Dutch street organ imgp4208 Clive chats to the Willy's jeep people imgp4212 Millie and Fred chat on a bench imgp4216 There's a few down after a tug of war imgp4221 The Austin heads off down the drive imgp4224 Amusing figures on the Dutch organ imgp4230 There's another round of tug-of-war imgp4237 Mark Prior and the Brome boys start their round imgp4244 The Brome team takes the strain imgp4250 DH wanders up with the tombola
