Waiting for the first ducks to arrive
Waiting for the first ducks to arrive

The 100 Club draw on Sunday 7 July was a good result for one family who had two out of three winners!  The prizes awarded were:

1st – Trevor Simpson (52), 2nd – Dorothy Faller (72) and 3rd-  William Bloomfield (55).

 

We had fabulous weather for the Duck Race & Garden Party on Sunday.  The ducks were tipped into the Ryburn by the Vicar & Cllr Smith, Chair of the Parish Council, surrounded by crowds of people all keen to see how their duck fared.  The winners were 1st 137 – J Sneddon- Finn, 2nd 69 – C Short, 3rd 72 – N Walton.  When all the duck money is in we hope to have raised £900 for the Restoration & Redevelopment Fund.   It made such a nice change to plan outdoor activities and know the weather was going to stay fine – the bouncy castle, coconut shy, treasure hunt and sandpit game, human fruit machine were all popular with the many families who came down, as were the cream teas enjoyed outside on the grass.  Another successful team effort.
