Durrington's Retro at the Rec and Sunday Funday were not unsettled over the bank holiday weekend, unlike the weather!
Bumper crowds headed to Durrington Rec to support the annual events with fantastic dancing in the rain. The crowds stayed with Disco Dion and DJ Paul Alex as they took them through the ages, getting the grass dance floor jumping!
With a slightly showery start, the sun finally came out on the Sunday Funday, and families were entertained by Dion, a workshop from newly formed House Of Jas, a bird of prey exhibition, the Bootleg Bugs line dancers, and Zorbing from District Sports.
The Dads finally redeemed themselves at the yearly tug of war competition after losing to the Mums for the last two years!
Organisers Emma and Dion Spencer said, "Thanks to one of the main sponsors, Porton Garden & Aquatics, the arena saw possibly the biggest prize giveaway Durrington has ever seen! Big balls flying everywhere!"
They added, "A massive thanks to everyone who came to support the events and our other main sponsor, Sapphire Utility Solutions, for donating to the cause.
"We hope that, when all monies are finalised, we will have a good chunk of money to donate to local causes and groups in the area."
Planning for next year's events has already begun. If you would like to get involved in sponsoring or volunteering at next year's event, which will take place on Sat 28th and Sun 29th August, please get in touch at durringtonsundayfunday@hotmail.com
