Heavy rain didn’t dampen the spirits of hundreds of visitors to our family charity open day which raised £3,000 for two local charities.
The event was opened by the Mayor of Mold, councillor Anthony Parry. Heavy rain drove a number of activities under cover to the two marquees, but visitors still braved the elements to try their hand at archery, children’s games and the coconut shy. Ruthin brothers Matt and Ben Smith proved hot shots on the coconut shy, scoring enough hits to win five coconuts.
Under cover of the marquee, wheelchair rugby proved really popular and entertainment included music from the Royal Buckley Town Band. The most popular event of the day was a raffle draw with prizes donated by local businesses.
Plant manager David Quick said: “Despite the weather, the community turned out in force to support two worthy charities and we are grateful.”
