I just wanted to email and say what a fantastic event today was. It had a really lovely vibe to it, very small village. Very busy with lots of activities for people of all ages.
Great atmosphere and lots of interest and support.
Really good to meet lovely new people (volunteer). A wonderful day!
A great day. Well done to all the pickers.
Thank you all for an Amazing Apple Day today.
Fun event, I think people big and small really enjoyed it.
It’s rare to see a Mayor and an MP apple bobbing.
Well done and thank you. The kids were over the moon with the activities.
Such a fun morning. Thank you and the juice was delicious.
It was so lovely seeing so many parents encouraging children of all ages to get involved.
