The arrival of the Mallyshag on the Green, next to the Sailing Club, marked the start of the Carnival. Escorted by children, he made his way to the waiting President, Brenda Garlick, and handed over the flag to be flown throughout the week.

The afternoon’s sports attracted a good crowd, with announcer Anthony Davies in fine voice, rallying the competitors ready for the Fun Run.

The first event, a Fun Run, over a difficult course of 4 miles, attracted 30 entrants and two dogs. Last year’s winner, Matt Ward, ran in fancy dress, an apple costume.

Whilst the Fun Runners disappeared on the 4 mile course, Field Sports got underway, with plenty of entries for boys and girls races, which were fiercely contested. Carnival Committee members were kept busy at the tape, picking out the winners.
