A Yokel's Fair organised last July by customers of the Black Horse, Byworth, Petworth— licensee John Waldy—raised t450 for the RNLl. Held in the grounds of the inn and Roland Sailer's adjoining field, the programme included a mummers' play, tug-of-war, pony and donkey rides, side shows, stalls, music by Petworth Town Band, a barbecue supper and dancing.

One of the most popular attractions was lawn mower racing: four races and a grand prix.
