This month at Crowdy Head we have hosted two carnivals in conjunction with LNC.

The annual All Schools Carnival run by LNC, their schools were involved and over 50 competitors on the day. I must thank the clubs helpers on the day John Ward, Darrel Steer and Alan Homes. The club had 6 or 7 of our members their competing on the day from the various schools involved.

The Crowdy Head All Age Carnival and LNC selection carnival was a great success for the club. There were over 200 competitors present on the day.
