Another brightly coloured, family orientated community event from our village here in the Berkshire countryside. The combined efforts of the Social club, the recently formed kids club and the newly formed, mother & toddler group saw the coming together of over 100 people for the annual family Halloween party.

It's rather refreshing to be able to say that the majority of the folks here this evening were local residents. Having said that, we did rather pleasingly, manage to attract families from  along the Lambourn Valley and from Newbury.

The apple bobbing had no shortage of patrons.	Reece ponders having a go but Mum keeps a tight hold

The Jelly lucky dip - extremely popular with all age groups	Still plenty of apples left

Tracey and Deana were kept busy as the willing hands continued to delve into the strawberry jelly.
