Promoting a church fair
Sir,—So the vicar of St Martins has been persuaded by a creativethinking expert to spend 48 hours on top of St Anne’s Church bell tower to publicise the parish fair. I suppose we should be glad he has chosen to emulate the ascetic St Simeon rather than the local place saint, St Martin, popularly regarded as the patron of jovial meetings, drinking and reformed drunkards. I find it hard to believe a man of the cloth should risk life and limb to publicise a church fair. I attended last year’s St Anne’s Fair. It was a good fair, with many good bargains and nice prizes to be won. It does not need any risky madcap schemes of a creativethinking expert to persuade me to go again this year. — Yours etc., N. GRENFELL. August 7, 1985.
