Wickhambrook’s annual Family fun Week has just finished after a very busy but hopefully enjoyable time for those involved. Throughout the week, there were various activities to suit most ages and interests with the Finale of a Family Fun Day itself on the Saturday.
There was an excellent turnout at the Memorial Social centre, to support the village Dance Company Body Rock as they presented their annual show Dance 2007. On a damp evening, the performers showed off their skills to an appreciative audience, and everyone agreed it had been a lovely evening.
On Tuesday Wick-Kids organised an evening of Prize Bingo. This was a most popular event for all ages and good night was enjoyed by all, with much tension as players checked their cards as the numbers were called. Especially tense was the call to win the big money bonanza at the end of the evening. There was a raffle for club funds; a tuck shop and refreshments were also available.
Thursday was Quiz Night with eleven teams competing in ten rounds of questions to win the Challenge Shield. The evening was a great success with teams having a wide spread of ages and another next year is eagerly anticipated.
The weather on Saturday was overcast with moments of sun but it did at least keep dry and soon the crowds were all over the recreation ground to visit all the attractions. The “Scarecrows Day Out “a new idea last year was back, where everyone was invited to make a scarecrow or group of scarecrows and enter them into a competition on the day. This proved to be popular with several entries arriving to be judged by the public. There was a wide variety of styles and ideas on show from traditional to more contemporary. The winners were the local Primary School with “Johnny Depp” from Pirates of the Caribbean”.
The rest of the recreation ground was alive with a car boot sale, Hog roast, dog show, rides, and stalls from the fun fair. The home baking of the women of the W.I. made their Teas as always very popular and provided a welcome seat in the shade during the afternoon. The village fire engine and its retained crew did various demonstration connected with fire safety throughout the afternoon. Grateful thanks to all who helped and supported with anything during the week, it was very much appreciated. Special thanks also to the organisers who worked hard to make the events possible.
