Woody from toy story and boo and sully from monsters Inc tinker bell and jack sparrow where there too, they managed to bag the top prize for the group section too.

Nemo was found in a wheelbarrow belonging to the rowberry family and Adam and Freddie we sea creatures, also nannie mcfee and the baby had a brilliant wheelbarrow which was in the style of an old fashioned pram, we also had dalmations and bumble bees, pirates Harry Potters,and clowns.

Children’s 3 Legged

The day was brilliant and we have had so much positive feed back from it all, people came up to us yesterday and praised it and we have had txt and messages on fb too!

We had 67 entrants of two children in each team, 5-8, 9-11, 11- 15 the 11 -15 had 7 entrants one team which was my son didn’t make it round as they fell after an bout 200 yards and his mate had to be carried off by cathy lang husband to first aid, cuts and bruises to leg and egos!!!

The fancy dress as with children’s party was very good a team which was made up of a washing machine and tumble dryer and a string of washing between, and they went through the river, the children left the coopers, went to the circus tent near play park/ rec where they had to pass a hoop between them if they did this they got a lolly, and then at the Indian camp in the grove they threw a spear at a target,they were given a gold coin to give to the pirates, the pirates in the river gave them a black spot, they then went to football club and kicked a football in a net, still tied together, and got their medal for taking part, they then ran to coopers where they had a burger, a drink a ride on the fair, a bouncy castle go a smash a plate and coconut go all for their entrance fee of £2!!!

We had over 200 people there and despite the weather, it was a brilliant afternoon, I would like to thank all the marshals and helpers who turned up to join in the fun.

Peppa pig was a great success with the little ones.

We gave out trophies to the race winners and the fancy dress winners and for the two that fell at the first hurdle and to Alfie Lang who didn’t have a partner but who ran around the course twice.
