We will be supplying some light refreshment and some of Sarah`s Fairythorpe cakes for those with a sweet tooth! There will be a designated Fairthorpe parking area but anyone else wishing to attend will be more than welcome. As usual there will be trophies presented for the best Fairthorpe as voted by those present on the day and also for the furthest travelled Fairthorpe to the event.
