Community and Culture Edition

   

A roundup of BunkFest 2006...

Well, we did it again! In spite of a rather unpromising weather forecast Wallingford once more played host to around 15,000 visitors who consumed even more beer, food and entertainment than last year! We didn't get the torrential rain which was forecast, only a few showers, but it was very windy on the Friday and Saturday. Sunday's weather was actually quite nice.

The whole festival went really smoothly (well, a few hiccups notwithstanding!), with hundreds of wonderful performances, and our new Community Street Fair was a great success.
