Organised by the village hall committee, the fun day brought together young and old for a quintessentially English day out.

And the villagers and visitors loved it.

The day included such delights as hoola hoops, egg and spoon races, welly throwing and sack racing.

For the children it was fun watching their parents stumble their way down the course – and of course the shrieks of laughter accompanied egg and spoon racing.

Sporting events of all kinds kept the day moving at a gentle pace and the sun shone encouraging refreshment sales.

“A massive thank you to everyone who came along to our family fun sports day,” said a hall spokesman.

“We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

“We’d love to hear your feedback about what you enjoyed and what we could improve for next year, please feel free to message us to let us know.”

Philip Wenn, who was one of the organisers and who also took the photographs, felt the day had been a great success.

“We hope the event will grow,” he said. “It’s been a brilliant occasion.”
