Maughold Parish Day! Saturday 21st July

All the usual fun and frolics from 2.00 pm this Saturday starting on the Village Green! Fancy dress, knobbly knees, children’s sports and light refreshments. Lots of entertainment!
…then from 7.00 the sports continue for the older ones, including the Maughold Head Race, etc. Fantastic BBQ from 7.00 too! not to be  missed – All Welcome!

It will seem a little strange this year without the energy and drive of two of the many stalwarts of past Parish Days, having lost both Hazel Lace and Bobby Moughtin during the preceeding year.

All the more reason to crack on and make a great day of it – just what they would have wanted us to do!
