The main event at the Summer Fair is named 'gunge the vicar'. Gunge the vicar is the act of a vicar covered in a thick, gooey substance, often as part of a fundraising event or a light hearted activity. There are three vicars, ready to be gunged:

Reverend Rachel Newell - Rector

Reverend Gill Foster - Associate Rector

Reverend Ricky Montgomery - Curate

Who will you pick?

 

Any funds raised will be going back into the Church for the upkeep and mission of the Church
