There was a really good turn-out this year for the annual Valley of Peace Xmas family picnic day at the Valley ground, with more than 30 in attendance for the picnic and fun. It was noted that the Banks family was well represented and performed with distinction again, indeed taking out the bowls competition. The kids were made to work hard for their lunch, with various running races, sack and egg/spoon races. Hopefully, they all slept well that night! It appears Santa was given a run for his money too; never a dull moment.
