FORESTERS WYRE FOREST BRANCH - Members and friends of the Wyre Forest branch of Foresters staged a family weekend to start their celebrations for 40 years in Worcestershire.

The event held at Astley Village Hall had campers and caravanners arriving on Friday evening. Games, a tombola, stalls and a barbecue on Saturday, with a Bavarian Band entertaining a packed hall in the evening when a raffle also took place.

Sunday saw nine teams of Foresters taking part in Mini Olympics for a Family Challenge Cup.

Forester Robin Clarke of Hanley Swan brought along a pig roast for lunchtime and the event culminated with the release of balloons for a balloon race.

Proceeds of more than £500 from the weekend will go to the charity ClicSargent, for which the Wyre Forest branch has raised funds over a two year period.
