The 2009 Country Fayre, held on Sunday 19th July in the splendid Grounds and Hall of Great Shefford School, saw a good turn-out despite showery and blustery weather. The horticultural show had a good range of entries and the lemon drizzle cake competition proved a great success with thirteen entries (see recipe below). Photography and the children's classes also had a good response.
 A new feature this year was an exhibition of local artists work - this proved to be very popular indeed. There was also a selection of classic cars and motorbikes on display.
