A bit more info on the fete from the organiser's website:

"Stone Fete looks set to stage a giant comeback this year with its ‘BESIDE THE SEASIDE’ event on Sunday 5 July.

Paying homage to the good old-fashioned frolics of the British seaside, the event sponsored by Bluewater features a host of activities including a real-sand beach with deckchairs, free funfair, crazy golf, and main stage entertainment.

A stroll along the promenade will deliver an assortment of stalls and attractions by local groups and associations. Refreshments include traditional seaside fish & chips and a fresh seafood stall, BBQ, cream teas and beer tent.

A full day of music will be provided, including acts such as the Take That Experience, Rod Stewart Tribute, the Life of Brian, and the Beached Boys.

Back by popular demand is Tommy Baker, the UK’s No.1 basketball freestyler, who helped launch the youth zone last summer. Since last June, Tommy has made appearances at the NBA Jam Session 2009 and has broken three world records. He can also be seen in the new series of ‘Guinness World Records Smashed’ currently on Sky One.

Kids and adults alike can also take advantage of the free funfair rides and inflatables that include seaside favourites such as the Helter Skelter, Ferris Wheel, seaside train and shooting gallery.

A number of local schools are taking part in an art exhibition, which sees children creating bespoke beach hut paintings to line the beach, judged on the day by local artists.

Main fete sponsor, Bluewater, has chosen to tie the event into its programme of community activities celebrating its 10th anniversary. Commenting on Bluewater’s involvement, Andrew Parkinson, Bluewater General Manager, said: “The Stone Parish Fete is a perfect opportunity for us to return the goodwill and support that the local community has for Bluewater, without whom we would not have enjoyed ten successful years. It is therefore with great pleasure and pride that we are participating, and we are confident that the Fete will be a great day for all concerned.”

Other sponsors include Stone Pit restorations Ltd and Frontier Developments, who are both involved in regeneration of the vast chalk quarry that sits next to the recreation ground in Stone.

The event returns after 11 years following overwhelming support from residents in a recent parish survey.

In a bid to minimise parking issues on the day, a free open-top Fete bus will collect residents at designated bus stops around Stone, Greenhithe and Bluewater and take them to the Fete."

Looks like it will be a fab day out with all this in addition to the dog show!! If anyone else wants to help out/stop by???

for all of those who are coming to this, here is the link about the fete for more info http://www.stoneparishcouncil.com/ (but it doesn't mention the dog show).

Apparently there will be buses laid on from various points but there will also be parking too. The post code for all of you Sat Nav-ers out there is DA9 9DQ and apparently the easiest way to get there is to come off the M25 at junction 1A.

There are apparently loads of banners in the area advertising it and they are shipping in 60 tonnes of sand for the fake beach

we can get there from 9am to set up, so will be another 6am wake up call on Sunday!!! Laughing

You can see what fun we have so if you are free and can get there, come along!! If you have a RR dog (or a dog we can pretend is a RR dog Laughing

) bring them too and we will see if we can win all of the rosettes Laughing
