Hi guys, just like to say that yesterday was a fun day out. The kids loved it and thanks to Ed for the loan of the arena and to Pete Collier for bringing his ants.

Ive just got back home after a very long and tiring weekend but its been worth every minute.
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for making it such a fun day. The smiles on the kids faces was something to see - that goes for the adults and the roboteers too (I saw John beaming as he was taunting the kids with the boxer)
Special thanks to Ed & XFM for the arena and Pete for the ants (where was your costume?)
Ed I have one of your feet (!) What do you want me to do with it? (any Hoppitt jokes will be severely punished)

It was a fun afternoon, although the sunburn and the damage caused to me by jumping in the truck with new jeans on have left scars!!

The costume was tied to Thunderpants hammer :-)

Sunburn too Pete? I missed that!

Just to let you know that the fete raised just under £2000. The money will go towards books for the classrooms and the new library. A big thankyou also goes out to all those who supported the fete and special thanks for all the effort. In all they said it was a brilliant day.
I also give my thanks to you all for making it so successful and great fun.
