Ham Fair is the main local community event of the year and I always make the effort to go, even when the weather is not as kind as it was this year.
The heart of the fair is the many stalls run by local organisations, of which there are many. I spoke to several of them to get the local news and was particularly interested in the update on the proposed hydro-electric generator that would sit alongside the weir at Teddington.
There were lots of fun and retail stalls too and, as always, the most garish of these were the collection of bouncy castles in one corner of the Fair.
My highlight of the show this year was the collection of vintage Trojan cars. These were manufactured, by Leyland, in Kingston upon Thames for a while and so have a strong local connection.
