Plate smashing since 2012
Some 5 years ago our fundraising committee had the idea to raise some funds and at the same time to provide a lot of fun with plate smashing.
Since then we have erected the plate smashing stall at about 14 events in Godalming and Fancombe. Typically these have been the town fairs and the stall has provided enjoyment to parents and children alike giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their skill at throwing a cricket ball and the rewarding sound of success, breaking crockery.
None of this would have been possible without the support initially of Harrison Hire and since 2014 Shorts Plant Hire, and particularly their manager Steve Keene, who have been wonderful in providing the scaffolding and tarpaulins that protect the public.
The pictures show Rtn Michael adopting the classic 'pitcher' position prior to missing all the jugs! and Rtns Joani, Seymour and Mike helping to run the stall.
Many thanks to Shorts without whom this would not have been possible and we hope we will be able to continue with plate smashing stalls again next year. Please visit their website:
