Scalby Fair 2022

It was a lovely evening weather-wise and our Scalby Fair Treasure Hunt organisers, Emma and Yvonne, were kept very busy. They had printed 40 question sheets and handed out 39, so were starting to panic when they only had a few left! In the event, 39 teams competed for this prestigious competition.

We also had a small lucky dip, at a pound a go, which was very popular.

All in all a lovely evening.

With thanks to Richard and Mary Grunwell for devising the questions.
