Adult and junior putting competitions were held as well as a footgolf and golf tournament, with prizes for first, second and third placed winners.
Melton Town Estate feoffee Dinah Hickling said: “A huge thank you must go to Fields in Trust for their generosity, and to Derek Whitehouse, Toby Heaver and 103 The Eye, who all helped make this bank holiday event such a success.”
Melton Town Estate has protected charity status on town centre parks by Fields in Trust. They are lucky enough to receive sports equipment from them for events such as this one and the Teddy Bears Picnic in July.
Fields in Trust provided 10 footballs, 120 egg and spoons, 35 hessian sacks for races, 50 kites, 40 bats and balls, plus other items used for prizes.
