The Children’s Sports were held behind the lake, more or less opposite the islands.

"Children from babies to aged 13 were there, plus parents and villagers.

The dads organised the sports and the ladies would have done the food".

"A party was held in the evening in the Reading Room, Rydal.
Folks from the ‘big houses’ didn’t join in!"
