included a Penalty Shoot Out, Tin Can Alley, Face Painting, Bottle
Tom bolas, Silent Auction, Cakes and a Raffle and once again Danecourt Nurseries brought colour
to the site with a wonderful selection of plants.
The PTA ran an
all-day Bar and BBQ and the Guides served us well with tea, coffee and
refreshments. Other delights to keep us all sustained were Strawberries &
Cream, Milk Shakes, Ice cream and a Pimms stall

and was interested to meet local people and see village life in action.
