All the Fun of the Fayre!
The beautifully lanscaped gardens and grounds at the Alan Shearer Centre were the setting for our very first Summer Fayre on Saturday 1 September 2007.
Guests were treated to a spectacular magic show, serenaded by the Ukulele Allstars and dazzled by Irish dancers.
There was also a host of other games and stalls including:
- Hook A Duck
- Tombola
- Sand Art
- Jewellery Stall
- Hoopla
- Beat the 'Keeper
- Face Painting
- Balloon Making

We were joined by the 39 Regiment Royal Artillery Albemarle Barracks in Newcastle, who very kindly volunteered their services for the day.
Firefighters from West Denton Community Fire Station also came along to demonstrate exactly how quickly fires can take hold.
There were also a number of organisations who supported the fayre including:
- Down's Syndrome North East
- Newcastle Special Needs Network
- Pets As Therapy
- Rehab UK
Pupils from the English Martyrs' Primary School in Newcastle entertained everyone with an Irish Dancing display.

Our thanks go to all those who attended, especially those who volunteered their time or donated prizes. An incredible £1770 was raised for the Alan Shearer Centre.
The money will go towards extending the facilities and activities available at the Centre.
