Pinner Fair in Danger
|
|
|
|
It appears that there is a problem in finding funding for this years Pinner Fair. The Showmans Guild run it and received some financial support last year from the Council. It is believed they need sponsorship and unless this is found it could mean the end of a 700 year tradition. The fair is controversial as it is enjoyed by young people but does cause major disruption in the village and many shops have to close on the day.
