LETTER: Holbeach Fayre made a loss this year

Re the letter in last week’s Voice about the Holbeach Town and Country Fayre.

Attendance was 2,000, of which ten per cent were children (free), 40 per cent pensioners and 50 per cent adults at full price. Therefore your calculations are grossly inflated.

For your information expenses were £13,596 and our income was £12,951, so we incurred a loss.

As for your derogatory remarks we shall ignore them as we have numerous thanks and congratulations on a really great show.

If you are dissatisfied with how we run things may I suggest you attend our AGM to voice your views and maybe join us to understand how difficult it is to cater for everybody.

Jim Read, Chairman, and
Alwyn Chilvers, Treasurer
Holbeach Town and Country Fayre
