A great time was had by all at the Easter Egg-stravaganza at Bonfire Hill which was held on Saturday 4th April.

The Bonfire Hill Committee laid on a selection of fun games for all the family to enjoy including ‘scrambled eggs’ for which children raced across the field facing West Hill collecting hundreds of ‘eggs’ that had been scattered by the team of volunteers.   All the ‘eggs’ contained different letters and children attempted to make the longest word from all their letters.  A competitive egg and spoon race followed – this was particularly competitive for the adult race.  The event closed with a best decorated egg competition for which there were some very creative entries.  

Huge thanks to all who were able to join us – many noted it was their first visit to the hill – and to our generous sponsors, Seymours and Great Hookley Farm.  Sincere thanks as ever to Tim for providing the audio and to our grazier for moving her horses at our request to graze the field in readiness for the event.  The very kind donations received on the day were very gratefully received and will go some way towards helping with the on-going upkeep and future projects such as the planned wildflower meadow.

The volunteers hope to make this an annual event so please make a note for your 2027 diaries … and keep your eyes peeled for information on our summer anniversary event likely to be towards the end of June.
