Burghfield May Day draws in £4,000

The community event, staged by the Burghfield Residents Association, provided a day out to bring together the people of Burghfield and surrounding areas, as well as raising funds for local charities and other good causes.
This year’s attractions included a fun fair, arena displays by local groups, Zumba, a circus workshop, fun dog show and display, craft tent, book stall, tombola, plant sales, ferret racing and lots of local charity stalls.
Tadley Concert Brass Band also played at the event on Sunday and there were traditional competitions of tug-of-war and egg throwing for all to join in.
Spokeswoman for the event, Geri Briggs, said that one the most positive aspects was the addition this year of the shuttle bus which brought people into and out of the fair.
She said: "We thought it was a great success.
"It would have been nice to have had the bank holiday weather, but it was pretty kind to us and all the feedback we got was positive.
"We were quite pleased with the amount we raised.
"There was a general feeling that it had been another successful year for us."
