EDITORS COMMENTS
Playing the 'planet game' at a rain-soaked Brighouse Fun Day were Craig Leitch, Emily Stevenson, and Joanna Dawson. Despite the gloomy weather, spirits were high as Jackie Merrick - alias actor Ian Sharrock - took time off from Emmerdale Farm to open the event at Wellhome Park in Brighouse. The day kicked off with a vibrant parade led by the Brighouse Royal British Legion Drum and Bugle Corps, featuring participants of a fancy dress contest who marched from a nearby supermarket car park to the park. The highlight of the day was an 'it's a knockout' competition organized by Mr. Jack Heymer of Shelf Youth Club, which saw six youth organizations from Brighouse battling it out for victory. Ultimately, Eastfield Youth Club emerged as champions in this thrilling contest for teenagers aged 13 to 18. Meanwhile, Mr. Barry Dawson arranged exciting games for children under thirteen years old while also overseeing the fancy dress competition where winners received prizes generously donated by Brighouse Lions Club. In addition to providing entertainment and fostering community spirit, participating organizations contributed £10 each towards Calderdale International Youth Year funds through their stalls at the fun day. This nostalgic print captures not only the joyous moments shared amidst rainfall but also showcases how local communities came together to support youth initiatives during that memorable summer on August 4th, 1985.
