THANK YOU Vi. As an addition to my previous Off topic post, I have noted all those great games, and hope to include them in our "Children's Family history days throughout our Beyond the Tree exhibition. THANK YOU for those great suggestions, as we're trying to involve the younger generation and encourage them to learn about the lives of their forebears. Your games will be a new way of "showing". Much appreciated - and good luck with your Family Fun day today.

The children will surely love the games - the ' Rat Attack' will be a winner :-) So few experience this kind of play, unfortunately, too much technology in their lives surely heaps of old-fashioned FUN will be a joy to them! We shall all pray with you for lovely weather - and exhausted kids at the end of the day. Kindly, Dee. -----Original Message----- From: Viola Wiggins [mailto:vmaw3434@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, 28 July 2019 9:17 AM To: Fermanagh-Gold Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD -Helping at a funding "Family fun Day" tomorrow I will be helping out at a Cross Community Olde Time "Family Fun Day" being held on Sunday 28th July, starting 1-0pm at Florencecourt Primary School, in Aide of Five Cancer Charities. They are all such wonderful Causes and deserve every support. All the Olde Tyme entertainments such as Tug O' War, between the "Heart Breakers" and the "Home Makers", Five-a-side Football, between the two local Primary Schools, Wet sponge Throwing, Splat the Rat, and lots of outdoor games and fun for all the Family. I've made two 'Rats' out of stuffed old socks with bootlace tails and blue sparkling eyes. A length of piping is suspended at a slant and the 'Rat' is randomly released and dropped down it. The child has to "kill" the Rat by hitting it with a stick, as soon as it emerges. I'm told there is a preview of some of the games on Facebook, but I don't do Facebook. I am really looking forward to the whole events and watching the children's faces. I will be reminded of how my Mother used to take neighbour's children Evaccuees, along with my Brother, sister and I to similar events and the enjoyment of taking part in it all and dragging our tired bodies home in the evening mentally and physically exhausted but very happy children. We are all hoping that the present day children will get the same thrill in taking part. We are praying for a dry afternoon for it.

Vi I hope you can move things indoors -it's coming down in stair rods on this side of the Irish Sea. Hottest day of the year on Thursday 30mm of rain now in the last 24 hours and still falling. Good luck with the fun day, hope it's works out.
