Weekend Programme

FOREWORD
“We feel honoured and privileged in being asked to open the 2003 Feast Weekend.
It is a very special occasion for all ages. It unites the village community, whose generosity and warm friendship is invaluable. Linked with this there is a strong family relationship in making this annual event a fun weekend to be enjoyed by everyone.
Hampsthwaite village is a caring community who go out of their way to help one another throughout the year. This is evident by with the support and generous House to House collections: long may this continue.
In working together, the Feast Weekend shows the determination and character of all those involved in organising the event: their time and effort can only be rewarded by everyone’s support.
Millicent and I thank you for the honour and privileged you have bestowed upon us.
We wish you all a very Happy Weekend and success for the future”
Millicent and Les Bingley

Whereas we will that a market every week on Tuesday at our Hamlet of Panehale which is a member of our manor of Knaresburgh and a fair there every year lasting four days to wit for two days before the feast of St. Michael, the feast itself and the morrow of the same. And likewise that a market every week on Friday at our Hamlet of Hamestwayt which is a member of our manor aforesaid and a fair there every year lasting four days to wit for two days before the feast of the Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr on the feast itself and the morrow of the same shall be held. We charge you that such markets and fairs in your full county you cause publicly to be proclaimed and firmly to be held.
