September 2013

There is something irresistible about a beautiful day towards the end of summer; the September 2013 Wychwood Forest Fair took place on one of those lovely days. The brass band was playing, the tea and beer tents were busy and the Morris Dancers in white costumes and Border Country black costumes with sooty faces were dancing.

The range of artisan stands at the Fair was impressive from creative wood turners to pretty handmade cards decorated with a 500 years old English technique of paper curling. With the aim to publicise OFS Jim Parke, Sue Crisp and Margaret Jones staffed a stand, gave out information and talked themselves almost hoarse as the good weather had brought many people to the Fair.

Despite a lot of interest in the Society the OFS Committee were a little disappointed in the number of new members attracted to join us.
