P&P 2015 Report and Photos
The second Party and Picnic took place on Sunday Sept 13th. The weather in the run up had been dreadful, but thanks to a lot of worry and wishing, the day was fine.
A large crowd enjoyed music from Shiplake College students, the Community Choir, Gareth and Jenny Evans, and Rywolf, with dancing from the Street dancers.
Children from 3 years up to teens tackled the fun run in various ways, ranging from outright sprint to casual jog. All were awarded medals.
As last year a star event was the tug of war. It was won again by the Baskerville team which took the first two pulls - they would say 'with ease'! The Plowden Arms/ Shiplake Farm team vowed to pull harder next time. The children's 'tug' involved scores of participants. It was nominally Lower Shiplake vs Shiplake Cross, and Lower Shiplake won, but then they did seem to have far more children on their end of the rope.
The bar, bar-b-q, fish and chips and ice cream were popular, and the whole event was voted a big success.
