The Old Brook Green Fair used to be quite a good event - loads of charity stalls selling everything from bric-a-brac to cakes to crafts - rides, etc for the children, commercial food stalls, a stage with constant entertainment, a tug-of-war - all the usual things you would expect at a fair on the village green. All that was needed was some sunshine to make it a very pleasant place to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon.
Brook Green Day was a much inferior affair. There were a couple of stalls selling expensive - very expensive cakes, etc. some facepainting, a funfair for the children which would soon eat up a fortune, something for dog-owners, some children from Bute House singing, and rather more estate agents stalls than anything else. Just about worth a quick walk-through to see what was there. But Andy Slaughter, our MP turned up and there were a few people wandering around.
It looked as if it was organised in rather a hurry, and no-one had time to really make it a really good event. Maybe next year things will be different.
