This is the second edition of Boytons very own newsletter

This is the second edition of Boytons very own newsletter. The winning title was suggested by Fred Stentiford who has put the £25 charity cheque towards the donations for the Village Fete more details on the fete to follow, read on.

The first motor bus, the "Boyton Beauty", was started by Mr Durrant in the 1920s
and by the mid 1930s Boyton was described as having "a quite exceptional number of omnibuses".

Wed be very interested to hear from anyone with a recollection, photographs or other information about the Beauty, Mr Durrant or the other buses apparently they were parked near to the current village hall gates! Nostalgia therefore sets the scene for this editions key feature below.

We need more articles from you if this letter is to continue. Please feel free to drop the Editor a line for future issues letters, local information, history, news and events all welcome. Details below.

Boyton Fete

The weather forecast was right - pouring with rain in the morning and beautifully fine in the afternoon. We returned to the Village Hall for this year's fete and it gave the event a cosy atmosphere - there were no parking problems, thanks to villagers loaning out their drives and gardens. The local police lent us a few cones to use and approved the arrangements. We were entertained by the strains from a local fairground organ and afterwards from the Paul Hodgson and Micky McBurnie jazz duet. The fete raised £1065 in aid of the church and the village hall. Thanks go to everyone who helped and contributed on a very happy occasion.
