The LNF Fun Day

The Local Network Fund Fun Day was a great success. A lot of groups who brought along a wide range of activities for the children and young people to join in with. The Peterborough Wheelchair Basketball Club was a particular favourite, as they brought along extra wheelchairs for the young people, (and some slightly older ones!) to experience what it is like to be in a wheelchair, although the specially adapted chairs made spinning around the hall great fun. The Boys Brigade brought along a ‘Canon Tournament’, which involved two teams negotiating an obstacle course and rebuilding the canon, with plenty of cheers from the crowd. The Isle of Ely and St Neots Rowing Clubs organised a rowing competition and the Mepal Girls Football team showed off their football skills. There were also lots of craft activities including making pasta necklaces and face masks and displays including the Isle of Ely Sailing Club sailing boat! I also understand that the Korfball Club has gained a couple more members, as we were all able to have a go at shooting baskets and talk to Lee Matthews about the sport and becoming involved. All the children and young people that attended had an enjoyable time, tried out most of the activities, and went home with a goody bag.
