As usual the Ross Lions Club took a big part in the Ross
Carnival. However, this time they decided that, as well
as running their popular skittles, play your cards right
and tombola, they would provide some free entertainment
for young children.
There
was insufficient space to put on the crazy golf. The Lions
realized that it costs a lot if you take a family to the
Carnival and parents would appreciate children participating
in games for nothing. First of all they decided to pay for
'Uncle Jack' to entertain the youngsters. This had been
done in the past and always proved popular. Uncle Jack lived
up to his reputation and the kids had a lovely time. Three
other activities were also provided; Spin the Wheel and
win a prize every go, choose a card and win either sweets
or a PGL beaker and colour a duck to win vouchers. All
three proved very popular and the stalls were kept busy
all afternoon. The
winners of the 'colour a duck' competition will be announced
next week.
Of
course, it wouldn't be a Lions activity without the famous
'Duck Race' on the river. The start was a little delayed
because the rowers who manned the boats which collected
the ducks at the winning line were held up in traffic jams
on the way from Devon. However, because the river was running
so fast the race itself was over in no time. Because of
this it is believed some of the little yellow ducks escaped
down the river. Hope they meet their cousins from South
America.
The
winner of the first prize of £150 was Tony Little of PGL,
also a member of the Lions Club. Second place and a prize
of £100 went to Afra of Gloucester while the third prize
of £50 was collected by D Thompson of Gloucester.
The
Lions would like to thank everybody who supported them and
look forward to seeing you again.
