Summary: A summer fete.
Title number: 386
LSA ID: LSA/501
Description: A short film that captures elements of a charity fete on a summer's day in the park. Men in tall chefs hats labelled with the wheel of the rotary club barbeque sausages, in order to supply hot dogs to an eager clientele. A stand for the Ruislip & Northwood Labour Party features a coconut shy. Next door a 'roll a penny' game also attracts players. Elsewhere fund raising stalls selling small items draw in a range of browsers, and a pair of women sells raffle tickets on behalf of the Rotary International. A man and a woman sit on stalls and sign autographs for children. Unheard in this silent film, perhaps thankfully, a school band plays throughout conducted by an enthusiastic teacher.
