THE Queen?s 80th birthday was used as the reason to have a fun day at Bere Ferrers last Saturday. Starting with a picnic lunch, there were games, a draw and refreshments during the afternoon at the recreation field. Organisers were disappointed that more people did not attend the event, but those that did had an enjoyable afternoon ? including a large number of dogs and their owners. The tennis court was also open for those wishing to indulge in more exercise.
