Day of Reckoning

A committee meets on a winter's night to arrange the summer village fete.

As protocol gives way to bickering and gossip, the personalities of those present emerge: busybody Ethel; Pauline, the vicar's long-suffering wife; careworn Gloria; horsy Majorie who is very attentive to the shy new teacher, Angela; elderly Mavis and Sally, the brisk Army wife.

Six months on, the cathartic events of the fete are related with humour and pathos.
