World's Largest Picnic in Grove

It was a real pleasure to help officially witness this event today which hopefully will make the Guinness Book of Records. Families had to register before 1pm to take part in the family picnic which was taking place on the playing field of Grove Church of England Primary School and was organised by Grove Free Evangelical Church. Myself as County Councillor and Frank Parnell, Grove Parish Chairman were there to see that the rules were being followed. Read more about it here

The weather was excellent and there was fun and games including bouncy castle, water balloons, football, rounders and finally a big tug o' war. There were 123 families registered altogether which will go forward along with all the other numbers counted at other events happening all over the country. In Oxfordshire, there was an another event organised at Cogges Museum in Witney. A good day was had by all.
