Heavy downpours of rain failed to dampen spirits at the annual King Alfred School Summer Fair in Highbridge on Sunday afternoon (July 6th).
A large crowd of pupils, friends and families filled the school’s main hall where stalls, music, entertainment and traditional games were laid on.
Organiser Jean-Paul Hoskins, Chairman of King Alfred School’s PTA, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We feared the event would be a wash out due to the weather, but in fact we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of people here.”
“We expect to have raised a good sum towards various activities for children whose families are unable to afford them themselves.”
The King Alfred School African Drumming Group provided a lively line-up of music
