Past Events On Sunday 22
nd September a wonderful Fun Day was held in Lethem Park for our Anchor Boys and Junior Section members. Once
again it was a successful day with around 200 boys in attendance and we were lucky with the weather as the sun shone the whole day and made the experience all the much more enjoyable for boys and adults who were with us on the day. The day provided a good mix of sports, samba drumming, train rides and bouncy castles.
