Well, the weather gods must have been PBC members this year, because after a week of cold, wet misery, they delivered sunshine right on cue for our annual Summer Fayre!

And what a day it was! Whether you fancied a cuppa in the tearoom, a flutter on the tombola, a bargain plant for the garden, or the chance to become a human fruit machine (where else would you get that opportunity?! ), there was something for everyone.

The club was buzzing all day, and it was brilliant to see so many smiling faces enjoying the atmosphere, catching up with friends, and supporting PBC.

Of course, events like this don’t just magically happen (despite what some people think!). Behind every raffle ticket, slice of cake, and pint poured is a small army of volunteers working away in the background.

So, a huge thank you to our fantastic Social Team – you absolutely smashed it!

A big shout-out too to our bar team, who barely stopped for breath all day, and to all our wonderful bakers and generous donors. (A full list of supporting businesses will follow soon.)

Most importantly, thank you to all our members, friends, families, and visitors who came along. Without you, we’d just have been a group of volunteers standing around with a lot of cake and nowhere to put it!

We’re delighted to say that the combined fayre and bar takings exceeded all expectations, making all the hard work, planning, carrying, lifting, baking, serving, and tidying up completely worthwhile.

Thank you for making the 2026 PBC Summer Fayre such a fantastic success. Same time next year… if the weather gods are feeling generous again!
