At the end of the day, each team took home a commemorative plaque and each participant received a certificate and medal recognising their achievements.

Mike Sexton, President of Crawley Lions Club said: “This is always a fabulous day, I’m not sure who has the most fun - the Lions and their helpers or those taking part.

“We very much look forward to coming back again next year.”
