The 2006 Fayre will see another Fabulous new venue, the Ley Arms, with a full and exciting events format throughout the day. The Fabulous Fezheads are once again providing entertainment for Saturday Night.

THIS YEAR'S ORDER OF EVENTS WILL RUN AS FOLLOWS:

12.00 noon - The Fig & Date Fayre Officially opens with the presentation of this season's Figs & Dates followed by the singing of the Traditional Fig & Date Song and a brief performance by the Fabulous Fezheads of the Fig & Date Dance.

12.30pm – Commence the Dancing.

Dance performances from all our invited guests.

All teams wishing to perform will seek out ‘FATHER KEN’ our official Fig & Date Dance Coordinator, and his Team.

NB: In time Honoured Tradition, Father Ken will award a special ‘Berthsiva’ prize to the most (in his opinion) Entertaining Dancing Display of the Day

Our now almost legendary afternoon Music Session should be lead by the celebrated ‘Colonel’ George Gaddafi who should take notes and later should present his ‘Finger Licking Good’ prize for the most tasty ‘folk tune du jour’ while displaying outrageous (and totally unnecessary) folksiness, or to the contributor of the most free drinks to the judge.

2.00pm The Games will commence !

Eye of the Camel - Each team nominate two Champions to Spit Date Stones through the eye of a Camel. Each Champion has three dates per round. This event is run as an eliminator with increasing spitting distances.

Fig and Spoon race - Relay teams of 6 in Classic Fig & Date Tradition.

Fruit and Vegetable Conkers - another Exciting Event of Danger and Tension!

Fig Roulette - Up to two Champions per team were required to subject themselves to 'Fig or Die'. The Roulette Wheel is spun with the winner being given the choice of retirement or a tasty Chillyfig to stay in the game. Chillyfig must be eaten to stay in - increasing Chillyfigs per round – Last man standing wins!
