This year’s charities will be the Almshouse Restoration Fund and the Scouts Kenya project, both very deserving causes. One of the ladies occupying the Almshouses opened up her house so that everyone could see one of the charming properties and also appreciate the urgent need for modernisation.

Last year was the Queen’s Jubilee and we had the period dress theme which was enjoyed by all. This year we have a theme of eco transport. In addition to the green theme there was the usual display of vintage and classic vehicles on the Croft and Burnside. There were static displays of models in the Club and the marquees and a display of radio controlled model cars and the odd helicopter buzzing about.

The day has become a must for families and there were the usual attractions for children. The day again coincided with the village-wide Grand Garage Sale Tour, and two vintage buses ferried everyone around the various sales and attractions.

The wonderful weather saw large crowds turn out and made it a successful day.
