Buckland Monachorum Fair and Buckland Bounder

Buckland Monachorum hoists the bunting for the annual village fair, with a fancy-dress parade, family dog show, miniature steam train rides, stalls, hog roast and other refreshments. The third Bounder starts at 3:00pm, a scenic 6-mile multi-terrain run over the glorious moors, through woodland, past Double Waters and up some challenging hills. This year there will also be the Buckland Bouncer, a children's race at 1.30pm – a much more relaxed and fun affair with a shorter distance of 1.5 miles for shorter legs! The Bounder entry fee before the day is £10 and entry forms can be downloaded at www.bmsf.co.uk (open to participants over the age of 16 years). Entries on the day cost £15. Registration is open from 1pm in the Buckland Chapel and closes at 2.45pm. Further enquiries to race co-ordinator Jan Moore at bucklandbeauty@gmail.com or 01822 855540/07595 025047.
