Out in force to welcome back much-loved fair

The fair, which has raised funds for the Newlyn Male Choir for over 20 years, attracted almost 30 craft, food and games stalls as well as a wide variety of music and dance.

Bryan Marshall, secretary of the choir, said: "The rain came an hour too early in the day but full credit to the majorettes who put on their tracksuits and entertained us in the rain."

Entertainment was provided by St Erth Band, the Trelawny Twirl team, the West Cornwall Tatters and two local dance groups, Sparkllez and Overload, while there were plenty of takers for the tea tent and the bouncy castle. Mr Marshall added: "All in all we had a very good turn-out and the crowd seemed to enjoy themselves.
