or to reserve a space. Victorian Fair Weekend Committee and Brockham Bonfire Ltd Victorian Fair 2004 ‘The dampness of Glastonbury with the culture of Henley’. A ‘fair’ summary of the annual Village weekend and the ‘tented’ Village was another appropriate description as we sang and danced to fireworks in the rain. We do hope all the stallholders raised funds for Village organisations. The generosity of those attending and Ruben Bond, owner of the very famous fairground rides ensured sufficient funds were available to pay for the fireworks and have enough remaining to plan again for next summer. Congratulations to Brian Cannon and his team for keeping the dancers on their feet and everyone involved in organising the event on your behalf- Brockham does it better, again. A great evening and weekend – just what a Village Green is for! Tony Hines Chairman Brockham Bonfire Ltd
The fair was very well run as usual and provided a wonderful warm glow to the grey evening in front of the Church. During the day on Saturday the frequent and heavy rain did not help to encourage a large turnout, but people tried and supported many worthwhile organisations in doing so. Thanks should go to all who made the Victorian Fair and Picnic Weekend so successful despite the weather and for the hours of planning and attention that went into ensuring a safe and fun time was had by all.

This is Brockham’s weekend and an opportunity for Village societies, clubs and charities to boost their funds with fundraising activities. Start thinking now about what you would like to do. You may keep all profits! Contact us now if you want to reserve a space. If you're stuck for ideas we have a few to share. But hurry. Time to gather your friends, families and neighbours together, prepare your picnic, find the cool box and check your gazebo roof is still in one piece. The evening picnic goes on whatever the weather! A collection will be made during the evening to cover the £1000 we are spending on fireworks. Keep an eye on the Parish News and this web site for further information, importantly put the date in your diary and get your fund raising thoughts together. Please contact Doreen Bates or Simon Budd for more information or to reserve space. Insurance for the weekend will be covered by Brockham Bonfire ‘s Public Liability Insurance, which attracts an annual premium of over £4000. Everyone who ‘uses the Green’ or participates in any of the activities, including stall holders will be asked to make a voluntary donation of £1.00 per head to contribute towards the insurance costs. This will be a one-off payment, per person aged 12 and over, irrespective of how many times you visit the fair or Village Picnic over the weekend. We will rely on your honesty. Without Public Liability Insurance of this kind, sadly, the Village Green will become unusable Tony Hines Chairman Brockham Bonfire Ltd

News June 2006
The
frequent showers during the Victorian Fair weekend did not put
off people in Brockham putting on a tremendous effort for the Village
Picnic on Saturday night. The Green was covered with gazebos and
tents of every shape and size. Many people stuck with the original
'picnic concept' with rugs and large umbrellas. No matter what,
everyone seemed to have a splendid time and the atmosphere was
very sociable.
