'JUMP for Joy' was a great day. The sun shone, the wind was kind to the plummeting teddies, and a considerable crowd enjoyed the barbecue, teas, cakes, games, bell-ringing and all the other delights on hand. The Steel Panners were vibrant, the first school choir sang like angels and a goodly sum was raised for the work with young people in the village.
