Bodham Big Weekend
Friday evening saw the start of the Big Weekend with The Lads v Dads
football match on the Playing Field, sponsored by the Red Hart. It was a keenly fought but
good humoured game which the lads won 6 – 3. The Lads goals were scored by Jamie
Pottle, Corey Sadler, Regan Sadler, Jack Sadler, Nathan Webb and Ben Burch. Goals scored
for the Dads by Simon Robinson, Darren Burch and Aran Smith. The match ball was awarded by
Darren Burch to Man of the Match Corey Sadler.
The match referee was Allan Lawrence of ASG Classic Car Restorations from
Scottow Hall Farm, North Walsham. Our thanks go to Allan for travelling such a distance
and making sure the game was played fairly. The players and supporters retired to the Red
Hart, after the game, where a buffet and drinks had been laid on by Julie & Kevin to
whom we owe our sincere thanks.
BBQ and Live Music
This year’s event was affected by the bad weather. The cold wind,
which from time to time threatened rain, meant many families who have previously supported
the evening, stayed away. Live Music was provided by Midnight Circus a Norfolk Band led by
Rob Hothersall. Despite the BBQ, a well-stocked bar and the opportunity to dance to the
music there was no getting away from the chill of the evening.
Sunday Funday was well attended. The weather was cloudy and windy until around midday when
out came the sun and the clouds were burnt away. Sadly the strong breeze prevented the
North Norfolk Radio Megaslide and Bouncy Castle being inflated but there was still much to
see and do. Trix‘n’Stix, Punch and Judy, Thorpe Kite Flyers, Tractor Pulls,
Children’s and Adult Races, Tractor Parade, Human Fruit Machine, Coconut Shy and much
more kept a huge audience entertained all afternoon.
Graham Lewis of North Norfolk Radio was in attendance all afternoon handing out flags and
stickers and taking many pictures which can be seen on the North Norfolk Radio Website
Gallery.
Robin Myerscough our Official Photographer attended all events and his pictures can be
seen on his website www.myerscoughphotography.co.uk
and on the boards outside Bodham Stores & Post Office and the Village Hall. Any
orders can be placed via Robins email address rmyerscough@hotmail.com or on 01263 588859.
The organising committee would like to thank all who sponsored the event and also those
who made donations including cakes, tombola prizes, raffle prizes and much more.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organising committee, helpers from
Bodham and elsewhere for their hard work and tremendous support throughout the weekend .
THANK YOU.
A full report of the weekend’s events will follow in the September issue of the
Bodham Village News along with the date for the AGM.
