Great Ashby Fun Day 2008
Posted in Events on June 30th, 2008 by Andy – Comments OffThe theme for the 2008 Great Ashby Fun Day was the Great British Seaside.
Although we couldn’t quite promise the smell of salt in the air and the squawking of real seagulls overhead, we brought a taste of the seaside to Great Ashby.
We had Professor Squirty Wirty (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 was Peter Leadbeater, the amazing chainsaw artist, who donated one of his sculptures as a raffle prize.
In the main hall there were lots of stalls to browse and once again the Great Ashby Community Church served us all drinks and their delicious home made cakes in the small hall. There was the ever popular barbecue selling delicious burgers and hotdogs and of course, the seaside staple – ICE CREAM!
Prizes for raffle included 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.
We all had a great time and hope you did too. See you at the 2009 Fun Day!
