Visitors enjoyed music from young people playing on their accordions, under the eye of their tutor Harry Hinchcliffe.

In the recreation ground volunteers from the Fire Brigade filled the Ducking Stool with 250 gallons of water.

Many shouted encouragement to those who, throwing filled sand bags at the target, and cheered when the Vicar, Robin Figg, landed in the water.

Proceeds from the Fair will be divided between the School and the Church.
