Taking Part

The One Show, which is a BBC TV program, a chat show, bits of watchdog plus guest and general interest ran a competition during the week. The wild life photographer took some photos and then asked us, the viewer to send in their own pictures.Two Ways to Fly
This and the one below were my attempts at national glory, failed attempts I have to add but there were over 50 000 photos submitted, it's not the winning that's important but the taking part as us losers always say.

Still I am reminded that last Saturday the Under 11s rugby team (supported by The Belgrave Hotel, Stagecoach Devon and Taxi Fast) took part in a rugby tornement here in Torquay. They played games against Kingsbridge who are from Devon and Tamworth and Barkers' Butts who hail from the Midlands. A draw against Kingsbridge and a win against Barkers' Butts left them needing a win against Tamworth to get the only place on the winners rosterum. But Tamworth must have decided that after travelling a couple of hundred miles to get here they weren't going home losers and ended up winning fairly easily. But as they say, winning isn't everything.

All the junior teams from under 7 up to under 12 were in action and a great day out was had by all. And the sun shone all day as well.

Well done those Under 11s - it's great to know in this day and age that so many youngsters are pursuing worthwhile hobbies/sports/pastimes...
