POPULAR scarecrowWorzel Gummidge and his many look-a-likes were enjoying the fun at a community day in Coxhoe last Saturday.

Youngsters from Coxhoe donned their best scarecrow outfits and arrived at the fun day dressed as the famous character, played by the late Jon Pertwee in the Eighties television series, and his sidekick Aunt Sally, for a fancy dress competition.

It was all part of the fun at an event which had been organised by the Coxhoe Community Partnership.

The fun day also featured a singer, ceilidh band, bungee run, circus workshop, five-a-side football, face painting and lace making demonstration.

The partnership created a £242,000 play park for youngsters, called Kidzone, and is now raising £300,000 for the Skidzone park which will have facilities for BMX riders and skateboarders.
