Festival - 8/9th July

Thanks to Michael South Photography for photos of

the choir

Friday night saw some sunshine and the Cutthorpe choir (The Merry Lads and Lasses) singing - also making a guest appearance at the Saturday evening Open Mic Night - thanks to Mark for all the acts who entertained us. Sadly weather stopped play for the cricket match on Sunday 10th, but on Saturday a good time was had by all, despite the weather, and included a return of the Great Lorenzo entertaining children and adults alike, and the inimitable BADASS with their synchronised swimming routine. The Bake off competition was popular (at least with the judges) - we hope for more entries next year.
