Elizabeth said: '˜It was fantastic '“  I was overwhelmed with the amount of people we had.

'˜I am so grateful to The Seahorse, The Fighting Cocks and Elmore Angling Club for putting on refreshments for us too.

'˜Everyone had a goodie bag kindly donated by Tesco and I had a thank you certificate for everybody who took part.'

She said: '˜I have been asked by people to do it again.
