August Bank Holiday Funday 28/08/2023

Darcy Lever Gravel Pits:  Fun Day
A big thanks to everyone who took part in this years Funday event. Which was a resounding success and enjoyed by all who participated.  A special thanks to Mike and our volunteers for the work put in to stage the event and the support from local community and visitors.

Due to the strange weather this year and the lack of invertebrates and stuff, we had to delay our Family Funday until August Bank Holiday, which this year was on the 28Th August 2023.

The day turned out to be reasonably dry, and although there were clouds of biting mosquitoes, everyone had a fantastic day.
The games included “Splat the Rat”, “Feed the Frog”, “Soft Archery”, ”Pond Dipping”, and a new one this year, “Dinosaur Darts”, which was well used.
Our nature exhibits, particularly our skull collection, always attract a lot of interest, and this year was no different.
Thank you to everyone who came and made it such an enjoyable day.
