Hundreds of children and parents enjoyed an action-packed community family day at Yelverton to help occupy energetic youngsters.

Yelverton Rotary Club organised the village fund day with the emphasis on sports and games such as archery, rugby, golf and rope obstacle courses.

Pam Law, who led the organising team, said: “It’s been a lovely day with so many families having a fantastic time learning and having tasters of so many activities, from golf to brass instruments and vintage tractor rides. Hopefully, some children can go on and get involved in something they fall in love with at Yelverton Fun Day. I’d like to thank al the volunteers and the Scouts for their support.”

Dartmoor Velo - the young competitive mountain biking group - also staged a race series on the day.
