(This, by the way, is a rugby tournament, not a celebration of all things loofah-related.) The Festival is held at two sites with the U7-U10s stationed at the Recreation Ground – the U10s were fortunate enough to play their matches in the stadium - and the U11-U12s at Bath’s training ground, a few miles away.

The base for Field’s rampaging horde of tiny terrors was a campsite at a working farm, Lower Chatley Farm, some 10 miles South of Bath on the A36. The club had booked the entire field for the event and the farmer had done a great job of preparing for the stay.

On Saturday morning, those children that camped overnight had the chance to visit some orphaned lambs in the farm’s nursery (lamb-ery?). Not only did they get to see the woolly jumpers but they were able to get in amongst them and help with the feeding.

While there, the kids were given a wonderful opportunity to see two lambs being born to one ewe - about 15 minutes apart. The farmer suggested that the children should name the twins, both female, and after some debate they were named "Petra" (from Petersfield) and "Rose" (from the Hampshire Rose). The attached image was sent by the farmer who had taken the time and trouble to paint the PRFC crest on the club’s newest mascots.

Saturday saw the arrival of a further 25 tents / caravans / motorhomes - along with the Club barbeque and just a few refreshing beverages for the adults. With all of the children now in place, they were presented with their tour tee-shirts and much football, frisbee, rugby and rounders ensued.

In the evening, Steve Shaw provided his usual mix of sing-along classics - through the speakers of his Volvo - giving everyone the chance to sing for their dinner which was a very ample burger, hotdog and cheese affair laid on by some of the parents. Still, the next day was to be a busy one, so all was quiet by around 11:00 pm.
