Brass band at church fair

The Umina Uniting Church will feature the Brisbane Water Brass Band at its Spring Fair on Saturday, October 20.

The band will play inside the building from 10am.

Scones will be made on the day.

People were encouraged to get in early and place their orders so as to avoid disappointment, according to parish secretary Ms Annette Strong.

"This year the theme is The Year of the Surf Lifesaver, and there will be appropriate decorations on the stage.

"There has also been a colouring competition amongst playgroup, infant and primary children and these will all be on display along with the prize winners."

A single bed patchwork quilt depicting The Year of the Surf Lifesaver, made by women at the church, will be the prize of a guessing competition.

Ms Strong said the event would also be an opportunity for local residents to meet the church's new minister, the Reverend Narelle Penman.

The fete runs from 8am to 1pm and will include several different types of stalls.

"If the weather turns inclement, all stalls will be indoors," Ms Strong said.
