After Tea, Clive Tillbrook, John McNaughton and Mike Alldridge organised a race along the River Meon of plastic ducks, on which punters could place bets. There was a barbecue run by Matthew Atkinson; the pubs also served food. Later that evening, Bill Tyrwhitt Drake lit a bonfire on the top of Park Hill and there was a firework display
