“The Searchers” – cowboy/ western re-enactors were there and performed a number of little playlets that always ended with a shoot-out and almost everyone “dead”.

on the tombola stall. He seemed strangely pleased with the dolphin plaque.

Various vehicles came and went at random times during the weekend, some stayed an hour or so, some were there for the duration.

There was a fun dog show – the highlight of each day!

There was only one entrant for the dog in fancy dress on Sunday (I was invited to judge it on Saturday and chose the dog dressed as a sheep!) Believe it or not, this is a ladybird.

Best in show, first prize

Sunday featured a judo demonstration

And a duck-herding demo – that’s when I became a bollard for a while

Duck success, bollard's eye view

What’s that? You want to know how I got a prize in the dog show, without a dog?? The organiser/ judge announced the next category “the best six legs”. He announced it once, twice, three times and nobody stepped forward, so I got up, carried my plastic chair into the ring and paid my £1 entry fee. Eventually a couple of dogs and their owners arrived. They had been busy donning matching socks – on themselves and the dogs, so were late joining in. I reckon the garish socks did it – if only I’d had a couple of pairs for my chair I reckon we’d have been in with a chance of first place!! 😉
