Fancy Dress – There are 3 categories:-

            7 and under                           8 and over                             Family or Group

Last year we had 10 entries and hope the number will increase this year.  You can dress as whatever you like , adult entries are most welcome and prizes will be given in all categories, with an overall winner.

 

We hope that as many people as possible will support our village Club Day as they have done for nearly 300 years and keep this ancient tradition alive!
