AT HERRINGSTON ROAD, DORCHESTER on SATURDAY 15th JULY 2006 from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm
The Joseph Weld & Trimar Hospice and CancerCare Dorset Trust will be holding its annual garden fete on Saturday 15th July 2005 between 11.00 am and 4.00 pm in the  grounds of Joseph Weld Hospice, Herringston Road, Dorchester – a fun day for all the family!  Martin Clunes will be the celebrity guest of the day. 

As in the past, there will be fun and games for the young and those who are young at heart.  Stalls will include home produce, cakes, bric-a-brac, plants, costume jewellery and handicrafts to name but a few.  For the men (as well as women)  there will be both DIY and garden tools.  There will also be games, prize draws, a grand summer raffle and a large tombola, together with entertainment throughout the day. The now famous Silent Auction which runs until 3pm, contains many beautiful items ranging from paintings, jewellery, glass and silverware, a flight for 3 people in a Piper Cessna aircraft over Dorset and much, much more.  In addition there will be games for children and adults, ‘Spider Man’ inflatable, plus attractions such as static displays by ‘Golden Wings Motorcycles’, ‘Vehicles of Yesteryear’ and ‘The Traction Engine Boys’.

Refreshments will be served throughout the day, together with a BBQ and ice creams.  New attractions for this year will include a Children’s Fancy Dress competition on the theme of ‘Recycling & Your Environment’, ‘Most Glamorous Grandmother’ and one for the men, ‘Knobbly Knees Contest’. Entry forms are available from the Trust Office or you can enter on the day.

As a local charity the Joseph Weld & Trimar Hospice and CancerCare Dorset Trust depends to a very large extent on the financial support it receives from the communities which it serves and events such as this fete are essential to its continued ability to offer its specialist medical, nursing and associated care.
