The District 12 Charity
District 12 Chairman, Chris Head-Rapson, has chosen to ask each club to support either a women's refuge or a homeless shelter.
Here is the result, a table groaning with gifts for the outing, such as buckets and spades, balls, skipping ropes, crisps, drinks and sweets.
One club donated money for all the children to have an ice-cream.
They had a wonderful time!
