SIR – On Saturday, June 26, I took my three grandchildren to an open-air activities day in Clayton Park. It was a wonderful day with so many different crafts – T-shirt painting, seed potting, glass painting, races – even a fairground roundabout.

The children had a marvellous time and we then went to the village hall where bowls of fruit were laid out for the children to make their own fruit sticks. Strawberries, pineapple, kiwi fruit and bananas were in abundance. There were also buns to decorate (and eat of course!).

Drinks, both hot and cold, were served by smiling volunteers, with nothing to pay. Indeed, everything was free.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the organisers and all the volunteers. Definitely a day to remember.
