September 1, 2010:
 You’ve spent all summer nibbling at a few limp lettuce leaves, the odd bit of raw carrot and some burnt burgers from the barbeque. It wasn’t as healthy as it was cracked up to be. In short, you need to build up your strength for the long winter months ahead. This is where the Pudding Club comes in, a culinary extravaganza which knows the importance of chocolate, golden syrup and custard. Ten piping hot puddings, rich in all sorts of things that your grandmother said were good for you, will be laid out in Belstone Village Hall at 7.30pm on Saturday 11 September. All you do is bring something to drink. Tickets costs £6.50 apiece and can be reserved by calling Marion on 01837 840498.

The glorious weather and stunning setting of Belstone Fair brought in the crowds to make it a record-breaking year, with over £1800 raised for Village Hall funds.  Visitors were able to drink their tea and enjoy delicious cakes, burgers or ice creams whilst listening to the Northlew Band and enjoying the views over the Taw Valley. Wonderful entertainment was also provided by the South Tawton Primary School children's maypole dancing, the Egg Throwing Competition and sideshows. Visitors left the show with magnificent plants, armfuls of books, bric-a-brac and, in some cases, a Belstone Calendar!
In short,a great time was had by all, thanks to the efforts of everyone who gave up their time to set up and run the day and all those who supported it.
Photo: Dancers of all ages took part in the Maypole Dancing lesson - well done! Click here to see more photos of the afternoon.

Once again Julia Kuhn is running the very popular plant stall at the Belstone Fair. Writing in the Beacon she says "I am asking people to help by providing plants to make it another blossoming success. Anything you have please ...a few annuals, perennials or vegetables, whether unusual or common, all are popular." She asks for them to be well labelled and either popped through her gate or if you ring her she can pick them up. (01837 840453) "Last year a splendid selection was delivered, some quite unusual too for which I was particulrly grateful as it brings in the buyers from far and wide." If you can't help with providing plants why not come and buy some on the day and enjoy all the fun of the fair
