Hadleigh's Midsummer Fair
Mermaid to Mountain Bikes
With my unique viewpoint in the corner of HOFS, using the microphone and loudspeaker kindly lent by Graham Cook, I could very nearly make myself heard above the enthusiastic crowd enjoying the Midsummer History Fair organised by David Hurrell, Lynda and Tony Manning and Val Jackson. I had a great view of Hadleigh Voices Community Choir, which is also based in HOFS.
