A Letter from the Organisers of Ovingham Goose Fair

West Road

Ovingham

NE42 6BW

26 November 2013

Dear Friends of the Goose Fair,

You may well have read in the local press that during 2014 Northumberland County Council will undertake a programme of significant refurbishment to Ovingham Bridge lasting up to 9 months. During that time the bridge will be closed to all traffic and NCC will require works compounds on both sides of the river.

Unfortunately the location of the compound on the North side will be on a significant part of the Goose Fair field and the pathway across the first part of the field will be excavated and increased in width to deal with heavy vehicles accessing the works compound. A fenced off pedestrian walkway will also be constructed.

We recently met with representatives of both the Parish Council and NCC so as to understand the extent of the potential disruption which will coincide with the Goose Fair date in June. Our conclusion was that the Fair could not be held in the usual location. We have examined possible alternative sites and NCC would be willing to provide assistance in making them viable but unfortunately we feel that none are suitable to host our usual Goose Fair. It is therefore with some regret that at a committee meeting last night we took the decision that there will not be a Goose Fair in 2014.

As mentioned we have looked at alternative sites but all were either too small or have access issues, and of course in addition we cannot be sure what effect the bridge closure would have on attendance. We do not want to put on a Fair which the public would not recognise as the traditional Goose Fair with its unique identity.

We are looking at having some kind of small village “event” near the usual Goose Fair date to keep the idea alive locally but it will be small in comparison.

We do hope you understand our position and the bridge does need some much needed attention. Rest assured we will be back in 2015!

Best regards

Neville Gray

Chairman – Ovingham Reading Room
