There was a great atmosphere and I think people were just glad to get out again and enjoy themselves. Each year, our small team of volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the event goes to plan, so I am pleased it has paid off. An added draw this year, too, was the addition of the fantastic Hythe and waterside Poppy Ladies’ ‘yarn bomb’ on Prospect Place, in aid of RNLI Calshot’s 50th Anniversary, many thanks go to them.” Also at the ra race was Cole’s Fairground, a BBQ and refreshments, Souvenirs and the main sponsor, TMT Legal Services, also had a stall.
