Great Ashby Fun Day 2008
Saturday 28th June, 12 - 4pm, Great Ashby Community Centre
The theme for the 2008 Great Ashby Fun Day is the Great British Seaside.
Although we can't quite promise the smell of salt in the air and the squawking of real seagulls overhead, we will be bringing a taste of the seaside to Great Ashby.
We have Professor Squirty Wirty's Punch and Judy show (between 2 and 4pm) as well as a bouncy castle, ball pool, face painting and making sand pictures to name but a few of the many FREE activities on offer.
Back by popular demand is Peter Leadbeater, the amazing chainsaw artist, who will be donating one of his sculptures as a raffle prize.
In the main hall there will be lots of stalls to browse and once again the Great Ashby Community Church will be serving drinks and their delicious home made cakes in the small hall. There will be the ever popular barbecue selling delicious burgers and hotdogs and of course, the seaside staple - ICE CREAM!
Prizes for this year's raffle include an Optima luxury wicker picnic basket and rug, a chainsaw sculpture made on the day, a 10ft quick-up pool, a Dumb Blondes? Hair and Beauty Gift Voucher and a Cream Tea for Two at Van Hages. Tickets are on sale now with the draw taking place at the Fun Day. If you'd like to buy tickets or could help by selling some, please contact Dot Smith, the Great Ashby Community Centre Manager on 01438 365392.

Great Ashby Fun Day 2007
Saturday 30th June saw the 2007 Great Ashby Fun Day. Despite a few showers of rain, Great Ashby had a fun packed Circus themed afternoon.
The children had great fun learning new circus skills, playing on the bouncy castle and water tag whilst Peter Leadbeater, the skilled chainsaw artist wowed the adults with his skills. Everyone enjoyed the Baldock Midnight Morris dancers and the always popular refreshments by the Great Ashby Community Church were a welcome treat.
