Unpack your pumps and do not forget to bring a picnic for a day of alternative sporting fun day organised by a wacky fundraising group.

The Seething sports day will feature school sports day favourites, such as the egg and spoon race and sack race, and takes place in Victoria Recreational Ground on Saturday, May 12, starting at 1pm.

You can get involved in the energetic sports day fun or just enjoy the entertainment by bands including Green Rock River Band.

Organiser Robin Hutchinson said: “As the Olympic torch sets off in Greece it is only fitting that we celebrate the true spirit of athletics – the primary school sports day.

“Who doesn’t still get a nervous tingle from the words egg and spoon and three-legged?”
