You may have seen on Facebook that this year’s event was marked by a serious fire in the pavilion which resulted in the loss of all the food for the hog roast and BBQ, not to say a total loss of the pavilion its self. I have to congratulate the event organisers for the way this was handled and the event went off as if nothing had happened and that must have taken some sorting. The opening parade was started one hour after the programmed start and involved marching around the field rather than the road.

It was a really hot day and all went so well despite the fire.
