22.01.2022 check out this photo from the Archives at Melrose. it is the Melrose Strawberry Fete c.1910. have been doing some research and records show 1949 there was a Met...hodist Strawberry Fete and Mr Herb Eye used to provide the strawberries for the fetes. (he lived in the house alongside the Melrose school) . in 1958 there were definitely yearly Strawberry Fetes occurring at the Melrose Institute and they involved stalls, a lucky dip for the kids, and strawberries of course. The highlight of the evening was a concert where visiting artists came as well as the local talent who participated. this concert was eventually managed by the Melrose Primary School students but not sure for how long and what year they took over and what year they folded. checking with Institute records the strawberry fetes were the major fundraiser for the Institute. still searching for the year these folded. the strawberry fete has been brought to life again in the Melrose Institute in the last few years. Held on a Sunday and has stalls and of course the strawberries. anyone who can give me information or photos would be much appreciated as would be great to have a record in the Archives for future generations. many thanks Liz Bishop (Secretary)
