Southlands Summer Fayre, Bexhill

And so it was that Pentacle Drummers were invited to attend a fundraising Summer Fayre at Southlands Residential Home in Bexhill. Penny our delightful hostess had asked us to replace other entertainers who were sadly unable to attend. Not needing an excuse to get the drums and the dressing up clothes out we were only too happy to oblige and ten of us were free to make the event.

Dodging the rainclouds which have become a bit of a habit this year we decended on Southlands at about 11.30 - far too early but then we are keen and like to be punctual! Amongst the lemon curd, homemade cakes and tombola we met some lovely people and the 10 of us gave them what we hope was a good show. Residents and visitors alike enjoyed the spectacle and Penny was so kind in ensuring we were well looked after with tea, coffee and cream teas!

Who could resist the lure of the great Uncle Bumble and his dance-along routines? Not us that's for sure and so it came to be that several strangely dressed drummers from Eastbourne joined the children in a routine of leg kicking, hip gyrating and general silliness which had even Penny joining in! Big fish, little fish, cardboard box!! Much fun was had by all and we would like to think that we helped to bring a little bit of energy to the Summer Fayre (and sunshine for the duration of our visit).

Thank you Southlands. We hope you raised lots of money for your
chosen local charities.
