Again we had a wonderful day with the weather being kind and everybody seeming to enjoy themselves.
This event is such a success because we receive so much support from about
80 villagers who are prepared to give there time to raise around £8000
which go to charities within the village but mainly the upkeep of the
recreation field and its facilities.
Ian Boden and I would like to say a heart felt thank you.
