su 17 ju 2007 ~ Final day of the Inter Village Games at Laxfield, Suffolk

Events have been going on all week between the ten villages in this year's Inter Village Games.  Some were physical including tennis and football, and some were not; but it all came together today on the Laxfield Playing Field.  There were events for real littlerlys and not so litterlys;  and the blond charmer below made a real commitment to the bat and bean bag race but got a bit slowed down by dropping her bean bag but was she bovvered?

The event that really calls for team work is the four on two planks and we thought the four girls in orange (Dennington) were going to do it but

Weybread prevailed ... though stopping was a bit of a problem ... as it was in the three legged race.

The crowd were cheering the egg throwing but we had taken time out to eat one of the rather meaty burgers and for us the highlight was the third place decider between

Dennington and Metfield in the tug of war.  The pull just went on and on and on with the crowd getting really involved.  Dennington won but at the price of Jason (who

used to tend bar at the Fram Station in Neil Pacoe's time) being very slow to get up, we think he might have hurt his ankle.

A brilliant afternoon that makes you proud to be British!
