Sheila McVeigh, Cumberland Athletic Club Secretary said: “We are delighted with how the event went, the Marshalls and staff were superb on the day and we are so grateful for their help.
“The event offered something for everyone and there was a really nice atmosphere throughout the day with people enjoying hot food, drinks and the kids getting involved in the face painting, crafts and entertainment with Imagination Parties.
